Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
the dot is at 16 and the arwor gose up
These two triangles are similar and the conversion factor is 2/3. This can be found by dividing one side length corresponding to the other on the other triangle.
In this case, DF ~ AC
DF = 12
AC = 18
12/18 = 2/3
Knowing this, we can multiply 15 by 2/3 to find the length of DE because side lengths AB and DE are similar.
15 • 2/3 = 10
DE = 10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3X + 6 + 4X + 20
7X + 26
Remember the distributive property? It goes like x(a+b)=xa+xb... For example 3(6+7)=(3*6)+(3*7)=39
Same here
5(3x-6)-8(3x-7)
do the thing
(15x-30)-(24x-56)
Take parentheses off.
15x-30-24x+56
//WHY PLUS 56 NOT MINUS?
//because there was a minus sign outside the original parentheses, so the signs inside have to be flipped when the parentheses is taken off
//Let's simplify now
15x-24x-30+56
-9x+26
^^The answer!
