Answer:
1. 37.5
2. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. the smaller triangle and the bigger triangle are similar, so the sides are also similar.
this means that 16/46 = 20/(x+20)
then, just solve that for x
16/46 = 20/(x+20)
divide both sides by 4
4/46 = 5/(x+20)
multiply both sides by (x + 20)
(x+20) * 4/46 = 5
multiply both sides by 46
4x + 80 = 230
subtract 80
4x = 150
divide 4
x = 37.5
2. do the same thing ( still similar triangles)
the equation would be (3x + 1)/10 = (7x - 1)/22
solve
22(3x + 1) = 10(7x - 1)
66x + 22 = 70x - 10
32 = 4x
x = 8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 6x + 12 = 3x - 27
3x + 12 = -27
3x = -39
x = -13
2. 2p - 3 = 3p + 2
-p - 3 = 2
-p = 5
p = -5
3. 6x - 2 - 35x -28 = 18x - 27
-29x - 30 = 18x - 27
-47x - 30 = -27
-47x = 3
x = -3/47
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
add all the xs together and it give you 3x and if tou combine the 1s it gives you two
Answer:
GCF: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
The factors of 20 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
Then the greatest common factor is 4.
