Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of segments is used:

EF +FG = EG

3x +(5x +16) = 11x -2 . . . . substitute given expressions

8x +18 = 11x . . . . . . . . add 2

18 = 3x . . . . . . . . subtract 8x

6 = x . . . . . . divide by 3

The value of the variable is 6.

Check

The segment lengths are ...

EF = 3x = 3·6 = 18

FG = 5x+16 = 5·6 +16 = 46

EG = 11x -2 = 11·6 -2 = 64 = 18+46 . . . answer is correct

Which values for x and y make the statement (x + 5)(y - 6) = 0 true?

-BARSIC- [3]

$||Solving \ for \ x. ||$ 

$(x + 5)(y - 6) = 0$

$(x + 5)(y - 6) = 0 :x$

$
x+5=0
 
$ $|Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ y-6|$

$
x=-5
 
$ $|Subtract \ 5 \ from \ both \ sides|$

$||Solving \ for \ y. ||$

$
y-6=0
 
$ $|Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ x+5|$

$
y=6
 
$

$Solution =\ \textgreater \ x = -5, y = 6$
