8 0

Answer:

  x = 17 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding segments are proportional.

  (3x)/(4x) = (3x +7)/(5x -8)

  3(5x -8) = 4(3x +7) . . . . . . . . multiply by 4(5x-8)

  15x -24 = 12x +28 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  3x = 52 . . . . . . . . . . add 24-12x

  x = 17 1/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Please help! Dont get it wrong pls
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

5.4 > x > 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two sides is always greater than the third side

Case1 :

4.1 + 1.3 > x

5.4 > x

Case2:

4.1 + x > 1.3 or 1.3 + x > 4.1

x > 1.3 - 4.1 or x > 4.1 - 1.3

x > - 2.8 or x > 2.8

Note that it is obvious x is not -ve so neglect -2.8. x > 2.8

Hence,

5.4 > x > 2.8
