243^0.2x=81^x+5Could you please help me with the steps to this problem?
1 answer:
Answer:
-20/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First simplify the left side of the equation
243^(1/5x)= (243^1/5)^x
=( )^x
= 3^x
Now that the left side is simplified, let's move to the right side
81^(x+5)=( )^(x+5) simplify 81 to base 3^4
= use the product of powers property to multiply the exponents together
=
With both sides simplified, let's rewrite the equation, this time in simplified terms
=
x=4x+20 because both the bases are same, their exponential value must also be equal
-3x=20 solve the algebraic equation for x
x=

<h3>Answer: </h3><h3>Yes, the triangles are similar</h3><h3>AC = 6</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
Focus on triangle ABC. Let's find the missing angle
A+B+C = 180
113+B+22 = 180
B+135 = 180
B = 180-135
B = 45
Between the triangles, have two pairs of angles that are congruent
A = D = 113
B = E = 45
Which is enough to prove the triangles are similar through the angle angle (AA) similarity theorem. This must mean that C = F = 22
Since we have A pair with D, and B pair with E, this means that
The order of the letters is important so we know how the angles pair up. The first letters pair up together, the second letters pair up, and so on.
Consequently, this means sides BC and EF pair up and AC and DF pair up
We can then say...
BC/EF = AC/DF
18/12 = x/4
18*4 = 12*x
72 = 12x
12x = 72
x = 72/12
x = 6
AC = 6
