We have to find out the value of the fraction.
<u>Let us assume that:</u>

<u>We can also write it as:</u>




<u>Comparing </u>the given <u>equation</u> with <u>ax² + bx + c = 0,</u> we get:

<u>By quadratic formula:</u>







<u>But </u><u>"</u><u>x"</u><u> cannot be negative. Therefore:</u>

So, the value of the fraction is 1 + √2.
Answer:
BC = 8 and EF = 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since triangle ABC and DEF are congruent to each other, BC corresponds with EF (as determined by the triangle names).
Set BC and EF equal to each other.
x + 6 = 3x + 2
Subtract x from both sides.
6 = 2x + 2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
4 = 2x.
Divide 2 on both sides.
x = 2.
Substitute 2 for x.
BC = 2 + 6
BC = 8
Since we already know that EF is congruent to BC, EF is also 8.
EC = 3(2) + 2
EC = 6 + 2
EC = 8
3:1 should be the answer.
Answer:
The value of x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation

- Expand 12(x-2) = 12x - 24
- Expand 1/2(x+6) = 1/2x + 3
so the equation becomes

simplifying


multiplying both sides by 2

subtracting x from both sides


divide both sides by 29

simplifying

Therefore, the value of x = 2
