COULD A KIND SOUL PLEASE HELP ME OUT? In the triangle shown ,AB =2x +9 and BC=5x–12. Find the value of x.

show how you go the answer so I can see if it makes sense!!!

In the given triangle, AB=BC

Now, 2x+9=5x-12

=> 5x-2x=12+9

=> 3x=21

=> x=21/3

=> x=7

Therefore, the value of x is 7.

the least common denominator is 40

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
