Answer:

  x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The corresponding segments are proportional, so you can write any of several equations relating the different segment lengths. Here's one way:

  top segment/bottom segment = x/(x+5) = (x-2)/(x+1)

Multiply by the product of denominators:

  (x +1)x = (x +5)(x -2)

  x² +x = x² +3x -10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  10 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10 -x -x² to both sides of the equation

  5 = x . . . . . divide by 2

1. It costs $15.50 to buy 8 yards of material. How much
Levart [38]

Answer:

if you can split it in half its: $38.75

if you cant its: $46.50

Step-by-step explanation:

half:

1. 8+8+4=20

2. 15.50 divided by 2 = 7.75

3. 7.75 + 15.50 + 15.50 = 38.75

not half:

1. 8+8+8= 24

2. 15.50 times 3 = 46.50

12 (x+1/6) = 8 20 points
Aliun [14]

Answer:

12x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

12 is multiplyed by both the x and the (1/6) since it is outside the equation.

so 12 times x = 12x since we dont know what x is

and 12 times (1/6) = (12/6) = 2

Any help is appreciated, check the picture above for the question.​
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

y + 5 > -2 i.e. option 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

An inequality is shown in the number line by an arrow and we have to identify the inequality from the options given.

It is clear from the given figure that the y variable is plotted and its value is greater than - 7 but not including - 7.

Therefore, option 4 which gives the inequality y + 5 > -2 will be the correct answer.

As it gives y > - 2 - 5 i.e. y > - 7 (Answer)

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 63 inches. If the length of each side is (4x-3), find the value of x.
balu736 [363]
Equilateral triangle have the same side lengths. Perimeter = sum of all sides
(4x - 3) + (4x - 3) + (4x - 3) = 63
Remove parentheses
4x - 3 + 4x - 3 + 4x - 3 = 63
Combine like terms
12x - 9 = 63
12x = 72, x = 6

Solution: x = 6
