Multiply all terms by 15
3x+3x= 10x+30
Combine like terms
6x=10x+30
Subtract 10x from both sides
-4x=30
Divide both sides by -4
x= -7.5
Final answer: -7.5
Answer:
115.08
Step-by-step explanation:
If these triangles are congruent, then side RS is congruent to side TV and that means that y = 4 - x. If y = 4-x, we can sub that into the next equation where side RV = side ST and 1 = 4x - y. If y = 4-x, we sub in accordingly to get 1 =4x - (4 - x). That simplifies to 1 = 4x - 4 + x which is, combining like terms, 5 = 5x. That means that x = 1. If x = 1, and y = 4 - x, then y = 4 - 1 and y = 3. There you go!
The triangles are similar because all pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.
