PT=3x+7 TQ=8x-8 answer asap please

1 answer:

3 0

Let’s suppose PT is equal to TQ
Therefore the equations will be equal
3x+7=8x-8
3x-8x=-7-8
-5x=-15
x=3
We have found x now we will substitute it into each equation
PT=3(3)+7
PT=9+7
PT=16
Then we will substitute the second equation
TQ=8(3)-8
TQ=24-8
TQ=16
And here is the answer please correct me if I’m wrong

Answer:

x = 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of x

Firstly, according to indices;

(a^m)^n = a^(m * n) = a^mn

Also;

a^m * a*n = a^(m + n)

a^0 = 1 (any number raised to zero as its power is 1)

And lastly;

a^m divided by a^n = a^(m-n)

So using these we can have;

7^4x = 7^( 2 + 3)/7^3x

7^4x = 7^5/7^3x

7^4x = 7^(5-3x)

Since we have the same bases, we have to equate the powers

4x = 5-3x

4x + 3x = 5

7x = 5

x = 5/7

Please help me determine the length in its simplest form

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

AB = 4.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of AB be x.

GIVEN :-

BC = 3 units
CD = 4 units
ED = 6 units
BD || AE

TO FIND :-

The length of AB.

FACTS TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-

Basic Proportionality Theorem :-

If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points , the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.

PROCEDURE :-

According to Basic Proportionality Theorem ,

$\frac{CB}{AB} = \frac{CD}{ED}$
