Both are correct they just chose a different variable to solve for first. they will both get correct answers if they do the rest correctly.
The chapter 7 test will have 20-30 questions on it. Novanet!
Answer:
PR = 16
SR = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
6/8 = (x-3)/(x+1)
8x-24 = 6x+6
simplify
2x = 30
x = 15
PR = 15 + 1 = 16
SR = 15 - 3 = 12
All three sides of the triangle are the same so youcan set two of the equations equal to each other and solve for x:
4x-10 = 3x +2
Add 10 to each side:
4x = 3x + 12
Subtract 3x from each side:
x = 12
