Pls help find x in both

Mathematics
1 answer:
RUDIKE [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar triangles, corresponding sides are in same ratio

\frac{28}{24} = \frac{3x-9}{x +8}\\\\\frac{7}{6}=\frac{3x-9}{x+8}\\

Cross multiply,

7*(x + 8) = 6*(3x -9 )

7x + 7*8 = 6*3x - 6*9

7x +  56   = 18x - 54

          56 = 18x - 7x -54

          56 = 11x - 54

         11x - 54 = 56

               11x  = 56 +54

                11x = 110

               x = 110 /11

x = 10

PR = 3x -9

     = 30 - 9

PR = 21

Given a term in an arithmetic sequence and the common difference, find the first five terms
andriy [413]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the first five terms

we come with a1

a(n) = a1 +(n-1)d

a(17) = a1 +(17-1)6=71

 So a1=71-96= <u>-25  </u>

first five terms:

a1= -25

a(2) = -25 +(2-1)6=<u>-19</u>

a(3) = -25 +(3-1)6=<u>-13</u>

a(4) = -25 +(4-1)6=<u>-7</u>

a(5) = -25 +(5-1)6=<u>-1</u>

<u>hope it helps</u>

Dan is 8 years older than Fiona. Gavyn is 9 years younger than Fiona. If the total of their ages is 56, how old is the eldest of
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

If Fiona's age is x, Dan and Gavyn's ages respectively are x + 8 and x - 9. We can write:

x + x + 8 + x - 9 = 56

3x - 1 = 56

3x = 57

x = 19

The eldest is Dan (because x + 8 > x and x + 8 > x - 9). His age is x + 8 = 19 + 8 = 27.
