In the equation 4x + 5 = 21, what does x =

X=4

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation, you have to subtract 5 from both sides.

4x + 5 = 21

     -5      -5

4x=16

Then you gotta get rid of the X so divide the 4 from both sides. That gets you X=4

the answer is 48m^2!

step-by-step explanation:

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
