Why would it be be appropriate to express a ratio of 7 to 9 but not a ratio 7 to 14?

A ratio of 7:14 reduces to 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio of 7:9 cannot be reduced because both 7 and 9 are prime and only divisible by 1. The ratio 7:14 has a common divisor of 7 so it reduces to 1:2

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.

good luck on your studies! : )
