What is the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
zzz [600]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ EAB and Δ EDC are similar by the AA postulate , so the ratio of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is

\frac{AB}{DC} = \frac{EA}{ED} , substitute values

\frac{10}{4} = \frac{2x+10}{x+3} ( cross- multiply )

10(x + 3) = 4(2x + 10 ) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

10x + 30 = 8x + 40 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

2x + 30 = 40 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

2x = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 5

Leona [35]

Answer:

$33.33

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the above :

WalMart offered a 15% discount off the regular price of a Ice Cream Maker.

The amount of the discount is $5.00.

The formula for Percentage Discount =

Discount/Original amount × 100

Original amount = x

Hence:

$5/x × 100 = 15%

= 5/x = 15/100

Cross Multiply

5 = 0.15 × x

5= 0.15x

x = 5/0.15

x = $33.33

Therefore, the regular price of the Ice Cream Maker is $33.33

(6+ (1/2y)) + y =21

to get:

y=10

then to find x:

x+ 10 = 21

x=11
