Answer:

$x = 10.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∆ABD is similar to ∆CBE, therefore, the ratio of their corresponding side lengths would be equal to each other. Thus:

$\frac{BD}{BE} = \frac{AD}{CE}$

BD = 12 cm

BE = x

AD = 27 cm

CE = 23.4 cm

Plug in the values

$\frac{12}{x} = \frac{27}{23.4}$

Cross multiply

$x \times 27 = 23.4 \times 12$

$27x = 280.8$

Divide both sides by 27

$x = 10.4$

8 ^ x * 16 ^ x - 1 equals 1

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

${8}^{x} \times {16}^{x } - 1 = 1 \\ {2}^{3x} \times {2}^{4x} = 1 + 1 \\ {2}^{7x} = {2}^{1} \\ 7x = 1 \\ x = \frac{1}{7}$

HELP When 2((Three-fifths x + 2 and three-fourths y minus one-fourth x minus 1 and one-half y + 3)) is simplified, what is the r

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

<h2> StartFraction 7 over 10 EndFraction x + 2 and one-half y + 6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression $2(\frac{3x}{5}+2\frac{3y}{4}-\frac{x}{4}-1 \frac{1}{2}y+3)$

To simplify the expression, we need to first collect the like terms of the functions in parentheses as shown;

$= 2(\frac{3x}{5}-\frac{x}{4}-1 \frac{1}{2}y+2\frac{3}{4}y+3)\\= 2(\frac{3x}{5}-\frac{x}{4}- \frac{3}{2}y+\frac{11}{4}y+3)\\$

Then we find the LCM of the resulting function

$= 2(\frac{3x}{5}-\frac{x}{4}- \frac{3}{2}y+\frac{11}{4}y+3)\\= 2(\frac{12x-5x}{20} - (\frac{6y-11y}{4})+3)\\= 2(\frac{7x}{20}- (\frac{-5y}{4})+3 )\\= 2(\frac{7x}{20}+ \frac{5y}{4}+3 )\\= \frac{7x}{10} + \frac{5y}{2} +6\\= \frac{7x}{10} + 2\frac{1}{2}y+6\\$

The final expression gives the required answer
