Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x (3-1) + 3
Evaluate using PEMDAS
Parenthesis
Exponents
Math and Division ( left to right )
Addition and Subtraction ( left to right )
2 x (3-1) + 3
According to PEMDAS we do the operations inside of the parenthesis first
3 - 1 = 2
We now have: 2 x 2 + 3
Next we do exponents
There are no exponents so let's move on to multiplication and division
There is indeed multiplication so we do it
2 x 2 = 4
We now have: 4 + 3
Finally we do the addition
4 + 3 = 7
The answer is 7
DF =DE + EF
4x-8 = x-4 + 2x+5
4x - 8 = 3x + 1
4x - 3x = 1 + 8
x = 9
Answer:
a) h = 6 2/17
b) k = 3 8/17
Step-by-step explanation:
We can make a list of corresponding sides:
AB (17 cm) and DE (13 cm)
BC (15 cm) and EC (8+k cm)
CA (8 cm) and CD (h cm)
Because the triangles are similar, we know corresponding sides are proportional.
<h3>a)</h3>
CD/CA = DE/AB
h/8 = 13/17
h = 8(13/17) = 6 2/17
__
<h3>b)</h3>
EC/BC = DE/AB
(8+k)/15 = 13/17
8 +k = 15(13/17)
k = 11 8/17 -8 = 3 8/17
