Solve for x. Please:)

Mathematics
1 answer:
lutik1710 [3]2 years ago
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

Step-by-step explanation:

7 + 3 = 10

+ 679 - 2056 = -1377

- 398 + 1 = -397

-23 - 237 = 260

2 - 6 = -4

-2 × 3 × -4 = 24

absolute value of -36 = 36

6 + 4 = 10

- 5928 - 965 = -6893

215 × 212 + 212 × 314 = 112148

(15 + 5) ÷ (15 + 5) = 20 ÷ 20 = 1

-457 + 1 = -456

- 218 -1 = -219
