What is the value of x? enter your answer in the box. units

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

x = 27

Discussion:

Triangle DQC and DBR are similar by AAA so corresponding parts have the same ratio.

x /(x+18) = 39 /(39 + 26)    =>

x/(x+18) = 39/65                 =>  as 39 = 13*3 and 65 = 13 * 5

x/(x+18) = 3/5                      => cross multiply both sides by x+18

x = (3/5)*(x+18)                   => multiply both sides by 5

5x = 3(x+18)                        =>

5x = 3x + 54                        => subtract 3x from both sides

2x = 54                                =>

x = 27

Thank you,

Step-by-step explanation:

got it right on the quiz

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

answer: y=4000x+14000
