What is the value of x?​

Mathematics
1 answer:
adell [148]3 years ago
4 0

again, we're assuming that both triangles are similar, and thus using proportions.

\stackrel{\textit{assuming the triangles are similar}}{\cfrac{x+1}{27}=\cfrac{5}{x-5}\implies x^2+x-5x-5=135}\implies x^2-4x-5=135 \\\\\\ x^2-4x-140=0\implies (x-14)(x+10)=0\implies x = \begin{cases} 14~\textit{\large \checkmark}\\ -10 \end{cases}

we do not use the -10, because whatever value "x" may be, can't be negative or even 0.

Simplify<br> a(cube)-1000b(cube)<br> 64a(cube)-125b(cube)
Elanso [62]

The simplification of a³ - 1000b³ and 64a³ - 125b³ is (a - 10b) × (a² + 10ab + 100b²) and 4a - 5b) • (16a² + 20ab + 25b²) respectively.

<h3>Simplification</h3>

Question 1: a³ - 1000b³

a³ - b³

= (a-b) × (a² +ab +b²)

  • 1000 is the cube of 10
  • a³ is the cube of a¹
  • b³ is the cube of b¹

So,

(a - 10b) × (a² + 10ab + 100b²)

Question 2: 64a³ - 125b³

a³ - b³

= (a-b) × (a² +ab +b²)

  • 64 is the cube of 4
  • 125 is the cube of 5
  • a³ is the cube of a¹
  • b³ is the cube of b¹

So,

(4a - 5b) • (16a² + 20ab + 25b²)

after spending 1/3 of her money on a TV and 1/4 of it on a game console,Cindy still had $600 left. how much money did she spend
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:


$360 on game console

$480 on tv

$1440 before spending money

x - 1/3x - 1/4x = $600

12/12x - 4/12x - 3/12x = $600

5/12x = $600

x = (12/5)($600)

x = $1440

Game Console = (1/4)(1440) = $360


Hope this helped!

This is on my homework, can someone help me? TwT
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

$221

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The total cost s $627.83, for one desk that costs $185.83, and two identical chairs (c).

The equation: $185.83 + 2c = $627.83

This equation represents the cost of the desk plus two chairs of the same price, which adds up to the total price.

Solve for c:

  • $185.83 + 2c = $627.83
  • 2c = $442
  • c = $221

Each chair, c, costs $221.
