Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>-(x + 5) = 5
-x - 5 = 5
-x = 5 + 5
-x = 10
x = -10</span>
based on the drawing both sides are the same length
so knowing BC = 23 you need to find the value of x and put it in the formula for the side
23=2x+7
16 = 2x
x=8
4x+1 = 4(8)+1 = 33 units
Set the equations equal to each other since the x will be the same. Get like terms on the same side and solve.
2x-5=-2/3x+3
2x-5+5=-2/3x+3+5
2x=-2/3x+8
2x+2/3x=-2/3x+2/3x+8
2 2/3x=8
8/3x=8
(3/8)8/3x=8(3/8)
x=3
x=3
