Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick is not to get all caught up in Pythagoras. There is a much simpler way to do it. Find the area of the triangle two different ways. DG and DE are at right angles. That is one way to find area. The other is use the height (DF) and multiply that by the hypotenuse GE.

DG*DE/2 = GE * DF/2 Multiply both sides by 2

DG*DE = GE * DF

DG = 8

DE = 15

GE = 17

8*15 = 17* DF

120 = 17 * DF Divide by 17

120/17 = DF

DF = 7.06

2x-7=117 what is the value of x

Tcecarenko [31]

$2x - 7 = 117$

Add 7 to both sides

$7 + 2x - 7 = 117 + 7$

At the left hand side 7 will cancel 7

At the right hand side 7 will add up

$2x = 124$

Divide through by 2

$x = \frac{124}{2}$

simplify the fraction

$x = 62$
