For which value(s) of x are the triangles congruent?​

Mathematics

Varvara68 [4.7K]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

The solutions are 2 and 5

Because it's asking what would make the triangles congruent, you would set up the equation like this because the angles (angle 3 and angle 4) need to be equal:

x^2 = 7x - 10

Next, you add 10 to both sides. This is so that you can move it to the other side, addition is the inverse of subtraction.

x^2 + 10 = 7x

Now subtract 7x from both sides. Subtraction is the inverse of addition. You do this to get it on the other side so you can factor it. You can move the 10 and 7x to the other side in any order or at the same time, I just did it like this.

x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0

Now, factor. I don't really know how to explain factoring, you just get a feel for it with a lot of practice.

(x - 2)(x - 5) = 0

You can use FOIL to check this if you want to. x(x) is x^2, -2(-5) is 10), -2x - -5x is -7x. Now, find what you need to do to make what's in each of the groups of parentheses equal to 0.

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

One of the solutions is 2, because you add 2 to x to get 0.

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

The other solution is 5, because you add 5 to x to get 0. Lastly, check your solutions by plugging them in to the original equation.

2^2 = 7(2) - 10

4 = 14 - 10

So 2 is definitely a solution.

5^2 = 7(5) - 10

25 = 35 - 10

5 is also a solution.

Hope that helps :]

Consider the expression. What is the result of applying the quotient of powers rule to the expression?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Let us consider the expression:

\frac{a^5\cdot b^6}{a^2\cdot b^9}     (1)

Now, the quotient of power rules says that the numbers that have same base can be find by subtracting if powers are with same sign

And adding if powers are with opposite sign.

We will solve equation (1) by this quotient of power rule.

So, it can be rewritten as:

a^{5-2}\cdot b^{6-9}

\Rightarrow a^{3}\cdot b^{-3}.

At the bike shop x, it cost $2.75 per hour plus a $3.00 deposit to rent a bike.AT Bike shop z cost $1.75 per hour plus a $7.00 d
Alex_Xolod [135]

Multiply the rate per hour by the number of hours (n) and add the deposit.

A)

Bike shop x: c = 2.75n + 3.00

Bike shop z: c = 1.75n + 7.00

B) to find when they will cost the same set the equations equal to each other and solve for n:

2.75n + 3.00 = 1.75n + 7.00

Subtract 3 from each side:

2.75n = 1.75n + 4.00

Subtract 1.75n from both sides:

1.00n = 4.00

Divide both sides by 1:

n = 4 hours
