Answer:
B. 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both triangles are similar, therefore,
GM/XD = AG/KX
(x - 2)/6 = (x + 9)/9
Cross multiply
9(x - 2) = 6(x + 9)
9x - 18 = 6x + 54
Collect like terms
9x - 6x = 18 + 54
3x = 72
Divide both sides by 3
x = 72/3
x = 24
The value of 8 in '56982' is 80 whereas the value of 8 in '156408' is just 8 so the value of the 8 in 56982 is x10 larger than the value of 8 in 156408.
Hope this helps x
A 100 m
B 900m
C -5,100m
D- 8,800
3x - 9y = 9
-3x + 4y = -14
-5y = -5
y = 1
3x - 9(1) = 9
3x - 9 = 9
3x = 18
x = 6
So, the answer is (6, 1)
