Solve for x. Please:)

Mathematics
1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

  x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle and larger one are similar, so corresponding sides are proportional.

  8/4 = (8 +(x -1))/5

  10 = x +7 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5 and simplify

  3 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 7

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The short segments are also proportional:

  (x -1)/(5 -4) = 8/4

  x -1 = 2 . . . . simplify

  x = 3 . . . . . . add 1

Two variable inequalities from their graphs<br> Find the inequality represented by the graph
ikadub [295]

Answer:

y ≤ -1/3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The shading is below the line so it is y ≤ and then the slope is -1/3x because when you go down 1 and 3 units to the right, you get another point. And lastly, the y-intercept is 1.
