Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(3x - 3) / 5 = (2x - 2) / 4

Begin by cross multiplying

Solution

  • 4(3x - 3) = 5(2x - 2)                 Use the distributive property to remove brackets
  • 12x - 12 = 10x - 10                    Add 12 to both sides.
  • 12x = 10x - 10 + 12                   Combine the right
  • 12x = 10x + 2                           Subtract 10x from both sides
  • 12x-10x = 2                              Combine the left
  • 2x = 2                                      Divide by 2
  • x = 2/2
  • x = 1

Note: the original equation gives you 0/5 = 0/4   which is 0 = 0.

Lines AB and BC intersect at point B. Ray BD bisects angle ABC. (4x-24) B (x+6) What is the value of x?
Verizon [17]

If line AB and BC are intersecting at point B and ray BD bisect the angle ABC, then the value of x is 23

The line AB and BC are intersecting at point B.

Ray BD bisect the  angle ABC

∠ABD = x+8 degrees

∠ABD=∠DBC = x+8

Because the ray BD bisect the ∠ABC, so ∠ABD and ∠DBC will be equal

∠ABD+∠DBC= 4x-30 degrees

Because both are vertically opposite angles

Substitute the values in the equation

x+8 + x+8 = 4x-30

2x+16 = 4x-30

2x-4x = -30-16

-2x = -46

x = 23

Hence, if line AB and BC are intersecting at point B and ray BD bisect  the angle ABC, then the value of x is 23

If sin Θ = 5/6 , what are the values of cos Θ and tan Θ?
CaHeK987 [17]
For the answer to the question above, I'll provide a solution to my answer below
sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 

<span>so, cos²θ = 1 - (5/6)² => 11/36 </span>

<span>=> cosθ = ±√11/6 </span>

<span>Also, tanθ = sinθ/cosθ => (5/6)/(±√11/6) </span>

<span>i.e. tanθ = ±5/√11 
</span>I hope my answer helped you. Feel free to ask more questions. Have a nice day!
