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

Drag the expressions to show the order of their quotients from least to greatest
Damm [24]

Answer:

by solving the divisions

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 8/9 ÷ 7/11 = 8/9 × 11/7 = 88/63 = 1.40
  • 19/12 ÷ 3/10 = 19/12 × 10/3 =190/36 = 5.28
  • 19/12 ÷ 1/15 = 19/12 × 15 = 285/12 = 23.75

8/9 ÷ 3/10 = 8/9 × 10/3 = 80/27 = 2.96.

now from the solutions you can get the least to greatest

1.40 , 2.96, 5.28 and 23.75
