Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 2(10+x)=28 where x is the unknown number we are trying to find. Use distrubutive property to combine like terms. 2 times 10 is 20 and 2 times x is 2x. Now we have 20+2x = 28. What you do to one side you must do to the other. 20 minus 20 is 0. 28 minus 20 is 8. Now our equation is 2x is 8. To find 1 x we divided in half. 8/2 is 4 therefore the missing variable is 4.

What is x in the similar triangles? Please help:)
topjm [15]

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both right triangles are similar, therefore:

\frac{2x - 6}{20} = \frac{39}{x + 8}

Cross multiply

(2x - 6)(x + 8) = 39*20

2x(x + 8) -6(x + 8) = 780

2x^2 + 16x - 6x - 48 = 780

2x^2 + 10x - 48 = 780

Subtract 780 from both sides

2x^2 + 10x - 48 - 780 = 0

2x^2 + 10x - 828 = 0

2x^2 + 46x - 36x - 828 = 0

2x(x + 23) - 36(x + 23) = 0

(x + 23)(2x - 36) = 0

x + 23 = 0

x = -23

Or

2x - 36 = 0

2x = 36

x = 18

What is the next step in completing this construction?
muminat
The intent of the construction appears to be to produce tangents from point P to the circle O. There are several possible next steps:
• Name the point of intersection just created between the arc and circle O
• Draw a line (or segment) between points P and J
• Draw a line (or segment) between point P and the intersecting point just created on circle O.

A cube has a volume of 2197 m^3. Its surface is to be painted. Each can of paint covers about 40 m^2. How many cans of paint are
Gelneren [198K]
<em>Volume= a³</em>
<em>a=edge</em>
<em>2197 = a³</em>
<em>=> a=13 m</em>
<em>Surface area=6a²=6*13²=6*169=1014 m²</em>
<em>\frac{1014}{40} = 25,35 ≈ 26</em>
<em>=> <u>26 cans needed</u></em>
