Determine which equation below have x = 15 as a solution. A.
3x = 15

B.
x – 12 = 27

C.
4 + x = 19

D.
x
_
3= 1.5

C, 4+x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

since you're trying to find x you need to isolate it, so use the other numbers you have, 19 and 4, subtract 4 from 19, (19-4) to get x=15.

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
