Answer:
112
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate for x
First expand the bracket to
12x^2 - 15x = 12x - 5
Move everything to one side
12x^2 - 27x + 5
Use quadratic formula and sub in values
X = 2.046989
X = 0.203610
You can use the rule of exponents
to write
So, even if not required, we have a = 5 and b = 3.
Finally, if c equals all this, we have
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, notice that these two triangles are similar using AA.
Because sides BC and EC are corresponding, you can divide 24 by 8, to determine that the ratio of similitude is 3.
That means that because sides AC and DC are corresponding, 25 - 2x divided by x is 3.
25 - 2x / x = 3
25 - 2x = 3x
25 = 5x
x = 5
x is the same as side CD, so CD = 5.
