Answer:

x = 10

6x - 6 = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of both triangles are 63 and 6x - 6; the second longest sides are 49 (greater than 35) and 42 (greater than 30).

So our proportion:

63/(6x-6) = 49/42

Cross multiply

63*42 = 49*(6x-6)

2646 = 294x-294

2940 = 294x

x = 10

Double-check:

63/(6*10 - 6) = 49/42

63/(60 - 6) = 49/42

63/54 = 49/42

7/6 = 7/6

6x - 6 = 6(10) - 6 = 60 - 6 = 54

Answer:

isosceles

Step-by-step explanation:

d= $\sqrt{(4-6)^2+(6-1)^2}\\\sqrt{(-2)^2+(5)^2}\\\sqrt{4+25}\\\sqrt{29}\\\\\sqrt{(6-1)^2+(1-3)^2}\\\sqrt{(5)^2+(-2)^2}\\\sqrt{25+4}\\\sqrt{29}\\\\\sqrt{(1-4)^2+(3-6)^2}\\\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-3)^2}\\\sqrt{9+9}\\\sqrt{18}$

Solve: 2/3x - 3/4 = 5 + 5/6x

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{69}{2}\to x=-34\dfrac{1}{2}\to x=-34.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{3}{4}=5+\dfrac{5}{6}x\qquad\text{multiply both sides by LCD = 12}\\\\12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^4\cdot\dfrac{2}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}x-12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^3\cdot\dfrac{3}{4\!\!\!\diagup_1}=(12)(5)+12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^2\cdot\dfrac{5}{6\!\!\!\diagup_1}x\\\\(4)(2x)-(3)(3)=60+(2)(5x)\\\\8x-9=60+10x\qquad\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\\8x-9+9=60+9+10x\\\\8x=69+10x\qquad\text{subtract}\ 10x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\8x-10x=69+10x-10x\\\\-2x=69\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\\\x=-\dfrac{69}{2}$
