Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the value of x

To do this, we are going to use the similar triangles principle

When two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are the same

The two similar triangles we shall be using are;

LMN and LJK

Thus, we have it that;

x/8.5 = x+ 9/17

17x = 8.5(x + 9)

17x = 8.5x + 76.5

17x - 8.5x = 76.5

8.5x = 76.5

x = 76.5/8.5

x = 9

The three angles of a triangle are in the ratio 5:4:1. Find all the angles of the triangle.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first angle be 5x

second be 4x

and third be 1x

as we know that by adding all the sides of triangle we get 180°

therefore ,

5x+4x+1x=180°

10x=180°

hence ,

x=18°

first angle - 18*5 = 90°

second angle - 18*4=72°

third angle - 18°

X + y = 2

liraira [26]

Answer:

$D. (3,-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x + y = 2 \: \: \: \: \: \: ..(1) \\ 2x - y = 7 \: \: \: \: ..(2)$

from equation 1 we get,

$x = 2 - y$

now,

$put \: \: \: \: x = 2 - y \: \: \: in \: (2)$

we get,

$2(2 - y) - y = 7 \\ 4 - 2y - y = 7 \\ 4 - 3y = 7 \\ - 3y = 7 - 4 \\ - 3y = 3 \\ \\ y = \frac{3}{( - 3)} \\ \\ y = - 1$

now,

$put \: \: \: \: y = - 1 \: \: \: \: in \: (1)$

we get,

$x + ( - 1) = 2 \\ x - 1 = 2 \\ x = 2 + 1 \\ x = 3$

hence, the value of x = 3 and y = (-1)
