Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-15x - 40 = 23 - 8x  

Add 8x to both sides

-15x + 8x - 40 = 23

          -7x - 40 = 23

Add 40 to both sides

                - 7x = 23 + 40

                  -7x = 63

 Divide both sides by (-7)

            x = 63/-7

x = -9

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-15x - 40 = 23 - 8x

<em>add 8x to both sides to bring -8x to the left side</em>

-15x + 8x - 40 = 23

<em>add 40 to both sides to bring -40 to the right side</em>

-15x + 8x = 23 + 40

<em>add the common terms</em>

-7x = 63

<em>for x to be alone divide -7 to both sides</em>

x = -9

<em>I hope this helped!</em>

Rectangle ABCD is shown with diagonal AC drawn. Point F is on AC and point E on DC such that FE is perpendicular to DC. Prove tr
777dan777 [17]

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle CEF.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u></u>

Diagram is inserted for the reference.

ABCD is a rectangle.

ABC is a right angled triangle because all the angles of the rectangle are 90◦ - (a)

CEF is a right angled triangle because FE is perpendicular to DC – (b)

In triangles ABC and CEF,

1. Angle ABC = Angle CEF = 90◦ (Both are right angles from a and b)

2. Angle BCA = Angle EFC (Alternate angles on parallel lines are equal on intersection)

Hence using Similarity property of AA (Angle, Angle), Triangle ABC and CEF are similar.
