Describe how to verify whether expressions are equivalent, and explain the purpose of verifying equivalent expressions.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

80x^8−68x^6+16^5−20x^4−4x^3+8x^2

hope i'm right lol

$75.00

step-by-step explanation:

i = prt

i = 1,5000 * 0.025 * 2

i = 75
