Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
right triangle ABC
using Pythagoras' identity
BC² = 7² + 24² = 49 + 576 = 625 ( take square root of both sides )
BC = = 25
Since the triangles are congruent then corresponding sides are congruent.
ST = BC , that is
3x - 8 = 25 ( add 8 to both sides )
3x = 33 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 11
Answer:
In this equation x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, it is easiest to convert these words to numbers. That would make it
4 - <em>x </em>· 7 = -10
First subtract 4 from both sides.
4 - <em>x</em> · 7 - 4 = - 10 - 4
Then you simplify.
-<em>x ·</em> 7 = -14
Divide both sides by 7.
Then you simplify that fraction to 2 and thats how you get your answer.
