Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve both equations:
1) 9x = 5x + 4
Simplifying
9x = 5x + 4
Reorder the terms:
9x = 4 + 5x
Solving
9x = 4 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
9x + -5x = 4 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 9x + -5x = 4x
4x = 4 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
4x = 4 + 0
4x = 4
Divide each side by '4'.
x = 1
Simplifying
x = 1
2) 14x = 4
14x = 4 (divide both sides by 14 to get x)
14x/14 = 4/14
x = 0.285714285714
As you can see, the value of x in the second equations is less than one, therefore making these algebraic equations not equivalent.
5(4) is 20. 10(8) is 80. 25(3) is 75. 20+80+75 equals 175. He has a total score of 175.
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: the secant-tangent rule states that when a secant and a tangent meet at an external point of a circle, the product of the secant and the external segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment
(x)(3) = 6² (secant-tangent rule)
3x = 36
Divide both sides by 3
3x/3 = 36/3
x = 12
