2(3 - x) = 16(x + 1)*

x = -5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step 1: Write out equation

2(3 - x) = 16(x + 1)

Step 2: Distribute

6 - 2x = 16x + 16

Step 3: Add 2x on both sides

6 = 18x + 16

Step 4: Subtract 16 on both sides

-10 = 18x

Step 5: Divide both sides by 18

-10/18 = x

Step 6: Simplify

-5/9 = x

Step 7: Rewrite

x = -5/9

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

no solution.
