It's easier to work with problems such as –2.1x + 3.7 -5 + 4.9x when we rearrange the like terms vertically:
–2.1x + 3.7 -5 + 4.9x
becomes
–2.1x + 3.7
+4.9x -5

2.8x - 1.3 (answer)
x = 37.5 (or) 
Solution:
Given 
AC = 50, DE = 30, EC = 25, BE = x, BC = 25 + x
To find the value of x:
Property of similar triangles:
If two triangles are similar then the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.


Do cross multiplication, we get


Subtract 30x from both sides of the equation.

Divide by 20 on both sides of the equation, we get
x = 37.5 (or) 
Hence the value of x is 37.5 or
.
Answer: -15y
Step-by-step explanation:
6(x-2y) - 3(2x+y)
6x-12y -6x-3y
0x -15y
-15y
Answer:
d. 13.5, 20.25
Step-by-step explanation:
An exponential function is monotonic and does not change sign. On this basis alone, the first three choices can be eliminated.
The common ratio is 6/4 = 3/2.
The term in the sequence after 9 is 9·(3/2) = 27/2 = 13.5.
The term in the sequence after 27/2 is (27/2)·(3/2) = 81/4 = 20.25.
