Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since triangle ADE and triangle ABC are similar, that means their sides are proportional, thus we get the equation

$\frac{AD}{AB} =\frac{DE}{BC}$

$\frac{2}{6} = \frac{x}{12}$

$6x = 24\\x=4$

Thus the value of x is 4

Have I been solving these equations correctly?

Tresset [83]

14)

2(-3)² => 2(-3)(-3) => 2*9 = > 18

27+18-11 => 27 + 7 = > 34.

16)

$\bf p(x)=\cfrac{x^2-4}{2x+1}\implies p(-8)=\cfrac{(-8)^2-4}{2(-8)+1}\implies p(-8)=\cfrac{64-4}{-16+1} \\\\\\ p(-8)=\cfrac{60}{-15}\implies p(-8)=-4$

17)

$\bf h(x)=3\cdot 9^x\implies h(-2)=3\cdot 9^{-2}\implies h(-2)=3\cdot \cfrac{1}{9^2} \\\\\\ h(-2)=\cfrac{3}{9^2}\implies h(-2)=\cfrac{3}{81}\implies h(-2)=\cfrac{1}{27}$

The sum of two numbers is 65. The larger number is 23 more than the smaller number . What are the numbers ?

KiRa [710]

Let's represent the smaller number by x and the larger number x+23
x+x+23=65 x+23=21+23=44 So the two numbers are 21 and 44
2x+23=65
2x+23-23=65-23
2x=42
2x/2=42/2
x=21
