Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

$\frac{MN}{FG}$ = $\frac{NP}{GH}$ , substitute values

$\frac{x}{12}$ = $\frac{10}{20}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ ( cross- multiply )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

Combine likes terms to create an equivalent expression 1/7 - 3(3/7h -2/7)

Anastasy [175]

$\frac{1}{7} -3(\frac{3}{7}h -\frac{2}{7}) = \frac{7-9h}{7}$

Solution:

Given expression is:

$\frac{1}{7} -3(\frac{3}{7}h -\frac{2}{7})$

We have to combine the like terms

From given expression,

$\frac{1}{7} -3(\frac{3}{7}h -\frac{2}{7})$

By distributive property,

The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.

a(b + c) = ab + bc

Therefore,

Solve for brackets using distributive property

$\frac{1}{7} - (3 \times \frac{3}{7}h) + (3 \times \frac{2}{7})\\\\\frac{1}{7} - \frac{9h}{7} + \frac{6}{7}$

Add 1/7 and 6/7

$\frac{1}{7} + \frac{6}{7} -\frac{9h}{7}\\\\\frac{1+6}{7} -\frac{9h}{7}\\\\Simplify\\\\\frac{7}{7}-\frac{9h}{7}\\\\1-\frac{9h}{7}\\\\Simplify\\\\\frac{7-9h}{7}$

Thus the equivalent expression is found

a mountaineer climbed 1,000 feet at a rate of x feet per hour, he climbed and additional 5,000 feet at a different rate. this ra

marshall27 [118]

A mountaineer climbed 1000 feet at a rate of x feet/hour

1000 = x ( t 1 ) eq1

5000 = X ( t 2) eq2 ( he climbed additional at different rate )

the rate was 10 feet / hour less than twice the first rate

X = 2x - 10 eq3

take eq1 and eq 2

( total time = t 1 + t 2 = T)

T = 1000/x + 5000/X

but X = 2x-10

T = 1000/x + 5000/( 2x -10)

T = 1000/x + 5000/( 2(x-5))

T = 1000/x + 2500 / (x-5)
