Answer:

  x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

  FL/NL = EL/ML

  (2x -5)/78 = 12/72 . . . . . . fill in given values

  2x -5 = 78(12/72) = 13 . . . multiply by 78

  2x = 18 . . . . add 5

  x = 9 . . . . . . divide by 2

Two sides of a triangle have lengths of 16 cm and 17 cm. Which could be the length of the third side?
Goryan [66]

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than to the length of the third side.


x - third side


if x ≤ 16 < 17 or 16 ≤ x < 17 then


x + 16 > 17 |-16

x > 1


x ∈ (1; 16]


if 16 < 17 ≤ x then


16 + 17 > x

33 > x


x ∈ [17; 33)


Answer: x ∈ (1; 16] ∪ [17; 33) → 1 < x ≤ 16 or 17 ≤ x < 33

What is the value of x in the equation 8 + 4 = 2 (x minus 1)?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

x = 7

Explanation:

8 + 4 = 2 (x − 1)

Simplify both sides of the equation

8 + 4 = 2(x − 1)

8 + 4 = (2)(x) + (2)(−1) (Distribute)

8 + 4 = 2x + −2

(8 + 4) = 2x − 2 (Combine Like Terms)

12 = 2x − 2

12 = 2x − 2

Flip the equation

2x − 2 = 12

Add 2 to both sides

2x − 2 + 2 = 12 + 2

2x = 14

Divide both sides by 2

2x  / 2 = 14 / 2

x = 7
