How do i solve this equation? (x-2) + (2x + 8)

3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is no = sign, this is not an equation that can be solved but an equation that can be simplified or combined.

(x-2) + (2x + 8)

Step 1:

Add like terms

Like terms: x and 2x      -2 and 8

x + 2x = 3x      -2 + 8 = 6

3x + 6

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
