Answer:
x = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
3-2x=21
-3 -3
-2x=18
/-2 /-2
x=-9
We will use the formula for the slope:
m = ( y2- y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )
For PQ : m = ( 0 - 0 ) / ( a + c - 0 ) = 0
For RS : m = ( b - b ) / ( a - ( 2a + c )) = 0
Both slopes are m = 0, so PQ and RS are parallel to x - axis and at the same time parallel to each other ( PQ | | RS ). One pair of opposite sides is parallel.
check the picture below.
so, when we have a line from a 90° angle running perpendicular to the opposite side, like in this case, we end up with three similar triangles, a large one containing the other two, a medium and a small one.
now, using the sides proportions as you see there, of the small and large one, we get that much.
