Mathematics
1 answer:
Nataly [62]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

AE = 18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ AEB and Δ DEC are similar , then corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

\frac{AE}{DE} = \frac{AB}{DC} , substitute values

\frac{2x+4}{x+8} = \frac{12}{10} ( cross- multiply )

10(2x + 4) = 12(x + 8) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

20x + 40 = 12x + 96 ( subtract 12x from both sides )

8x + 40 = 96 ( subtract 40 from both sides )

8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 7

Then

AE = 2x + 4 = 2(7) + 4 = 14 + 4 = 18 units

4/5w-12=2/3w<br> what is the step by step answer to those equation?
Mariulka [41]
Kulay, there is no such thing as a "step by step answer" here.  You seem to want a "step by step solution."

I must assume that by 4/5 you actually meant (4/5) and that by 2/3 you meant (2/3).  Then your equation becomes:

(4/5)w - 12 = (2/3)w. 

The LCD here is 5*3, or 15, so mult. every term by 15:

12w - 180 = 10w.   
Add 180 to both sides, obtaining 12 w - 180 + 180 = 10w + 180.     

Then 12w = 10w + 180.  Simplifying, 2w = 180.    What is w?

Write an algebraic expression for 84 more than the product of 167 and b
Ket [755]

Answer:

  167b + 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication is indicated between a number and a variable by writing them next to each other. A "product" is the result of multiplication, so "the product of 167 and b" is written 167b.

If you want a value that is 84 more than that, you get it by adding 84.

  167b + 84
