Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles shown are alternate exterior angles.
Alternate exterior angles are congruent
This means that 46 must equal 3x - 14
Note that we've just created an equation that we can use to solve for
We now use the equation to solve for x
3x - 14 = 46
add 14 to both sides
3x - 14 + 14 = 46 + 14
simplify
3x = 60
Divide both sides by 3
3x / 3 = x
60 / 3 = 20
We get that x = 20
It's the third one and the last one are the only ones that make immediate sense.
Answer:
x=3 and x=-1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
4x^2-7x=15
subtract 15 from each side:
4x^2-7x-15=0
factor (trying different numbers that the sum is 7 and the quotient is 15)
(2x-6 )(2x+2.5 )=0
2x-6=0 add 6 to each side
2x=6
x=3
2x+2.5=0 subtract 2.5 from each side
2x=-2.5
x=-1.25
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1</u>:-
given the lengths of two sides of a right angle are represented by 2x and 3(x+1) and longest side is 17 units.
AB = 2x and BC = 3(x+1) and longest side AC= 17
by using Pythagoras theorem
<u>step 2:-</u>
The hypotenuse is longest side is AC = 17 units
(17)^2 = 4x^2 +9(X+1)^2
on simplification, we will use formula
289 = 4x^2 +9(x^2+2x+1)
finding factors 70 X 52 = 3640
Taking common , we get
13x(x-4)+70(x-4)=0
x-4=0 and 13x+70=0
x=4 and
x=4 and
we can not choose negative value so x value is 4
Final answer:- x = 4
<u>verification:-</u>
<u></u><u></u>
289 = 4(4)^2+9(4+1)^2
289 = 64 +9(25)
289=289
