What is a / b (2x - 12) = c / d ; x ?

Alex17521 [72]

we are given

$\frac{a}{b} (2x-12)=\frac{c}{d}$

we can solve for x

We can isolate x

step-1: Multiply both sides by b/a

$\frac{b}{a}*\frac{a}{b} (2x-12)=\frac{b}{a}*\frac{c}{d}$

$(2x-12)=\frac{bc}{ad}$

step-2:Add 12 both sides

$(2x-12)+12=\frac{bc}{ad}+12$

$2x=\frac{bc}{ad}+12$

step-3: combine right side

$2x=\frac{bc+12ad}{ad}$

step-4:Divide both sides by 2

$x=\frac{bc+12ad}{2ad}$ ..............Answer

These triangles are similar and the sides are proportional. Which proportion correctly describes the situation below?

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

"If two triangles are similar, their corresponding sides are proportional."

We will check each proportionality ratio given in the options for the given property,

Option (1),

$\frac{QB}{DM}=\frac{DF}{QL}=\frac{LB}{MF}$

$\frac{3.5}{2}=\frac{5}{8.75}=\frac{10.5}{6}$

$\frac{7}{4}=\frac{4}{7}=\frac{7}{4}$

But $\frac{7}{4}\neq \frac{4}{7}$ .

Therefore, this option is not the answer.

Option (2),

$\frac{FM}{LB}=\frac{BQ}{MD}=\frac{QL}{DF}$

$\frac{6}{10.5}=\frac{3.5}{2}=\frac{8.75}{5}$

$\frac{4}{7}=\frac{7}{4}=\frac{7}{4}$

But $\frac{4}{7}\neq \frac{7}{4}$ ,

Therefore, this option is not the option.

Option (3),

$\frac{BQ}{MD}=\frac{QL}{DF}=\frac{BL}{MF}$

$\frac{3.5}{2}=\frac{8.75}{5}=\frac{10.5}{6}$

$\frac{7}{4}=\frac{7}{4}=\frac{7}{4}$

Therefore, this option is the answer.

Option (4),

$\frac{6}{10.5}=\frac{2}{3.5}=\frac{5}{10.5}$

$\frac{4}{7}=\frac{4}{7}=\frac{10}{21}$

But, $\frac{4}{7}\neq \frac{10}{21}$

Therefore, this is not the correct option.

how do you write the equation of a line with a slope of -2/15 that passes through the point ( - 5,5 )

prohojiy [21]

point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-5 = -2/15(x--5)

y-5 = -2/15 (x+5)

change to slope intercept form

distribute

y-5 =-2/15x -10/15

y-5 = -2/15x -2/3

add 5 to each side

y = -2/15x -2/3 + 5

y = -2/15x -2/3 + 15/3

y = -2/15x +13/3
