Hello!
Since D is the midpoint and the two equations are and both sides of point D the equations equal each other
9x - 7 = 3x + 17
Now you solve it algebraically
Add 7 to both sides
9x = 3x + 24
Subtract 3x from both sides
6x = 24
Divide both sides by 6
x = 4
Now we put this into both equations and add them
9(4) - 7 = 29
3(4) + 17 = 29
29 + 29 = 58
The answer is 58 units
Hope this helps!
The answer to the question is 1700
Alright, so for AB and CD to be parallel, CX and DX would have to be equal, as is with AX and BX. In addition, for CD and AB to be parallel, all sides in both triangles are either equal or not all sides in even one triangle are equal. Therefore, CD is not 3. In addition, two sides of a triangle combined must be greater than the third, so that leaves 5, 4, and 2 for CD. If it was 5, that would mean that all sides are equal, so that leaves 4 and 2. However, I don't see anything to prove either one right, sorry:/
Let's write miles over hours
80 / 2 = 200/ x
cross multiply
80x = 400
divide both sides by 80
x = 5
It will take 5 hours to cover 200 miles
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
Just use similar triangles.
12/10 = 72/x
Now solve for x.
x = 72 * 10 / 12 = 60
