Solve similar triangles (advanced) Solve for x x=?

Mathematics
1 answer:
lesya692 [45]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

AD/AB = DE/BC (Similarity Theorem)

AD = 6 + 4 = 10

AB = 6

DE = 2

BC = x

Plug in the values

10/6 = 2/x

Cross multiply

10*x = 2*6

10x = 12

Divide both sides by 10

x = 12/10

x = 1.2

What is 3/4 + 1/2 and what is 1/3 + 11/48 in simplest form and a mixed number <br>​
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

1) 5/4 or 1 1/4

2) 9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4+1/2: you multiply 1/2 by 2 to get a common denominator then get 2/4, 3+2=5, 5/4 or 1 1/4

1/3+11/48: you multiply 1/3 by 16 to get common denominator & get 16/48, 16+11= 27/48, divide by 3 & get simplest form of 9/16

Help, don’t understand this problem.
Mila [183]

Answer:

(2, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - 5y = - 9 → (1)

x + 2y = 8 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term, that is

- 3x - 6y = - 24 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

(3x - 3x) + (- 5y - 6y) = (- 9 - 24), that is

- 11y = - 33 ( divide both sides by - 11 )

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting in (2)

x + 2(3) = 8

x + 6 = 8 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x = 2

Solution is (2, 3 )
