Can Someone Solve For X? And Maybe Explain It In A Simple Way?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the two parallel lines, the ratio between the sides must be the same.  Since the bottom is 12 to 18 (a ration of two to three) we know that x and x+5 would have the same ratio.  Logically, x would have to equal 10 so that x+5 would equal 15 and a ratio of two to three would exist there too.  If you go to solve a problem and the answer isn’t obvious, jut set up a ratio.

12/18=x/(x+5)

then cross multiply and solve

12(x+5)=18x

12x+60=18x

60=18x-12x

60=6x

10=x

Answer 2

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set it up as a proportion, since the lines are parallel, the sections are proportionate to each other.

[tex]\frac{x}{12} = \frac{x+5}{18} \\18x=12(x+5)\\18x=12x+60\\6x=60\\x=10[/tex]

At the book fair, Vald spends all of his money on new books. Pamela spends
2/3 as much as Vald. Eli spends 4/3 as much as Vald. Who spent the most?
The least?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take Vald spends $100 on the book fair which are all the money he had.

Pamela Spends 2/3 as much as Vald

Pamela Spends 2/3 x 100 = $66.67

Eli Spends 4/3 as much as Vald

Eli spends 4/3 x 100 = $133.33

From here, we can see Eli Spends the most and Pamela Spends the least.

Answer:

Reason 2)The transitive property of congruence

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several sort of "obvious" properties of equality/congruence. Keeping them sorted out can be a bit of a trick.

  A = A . . . . reflexive property

  A = B ⇔ B = A . . . . symmetric property (erroneously cited in the proof)

  A = B, B = C ⇒ A = C . . . . transitive property (the one needed in the proof)

__

Not to confuse the issue, but there is also the "substitution property of equality" that says if X = Y, then X can be substituted for Y or vice versa. In the end, the transitive property is an application of this, where we're substituting for B in the second equation, or for A in the first equation.

The A=B=C form of Statement 1) in the proof is what gives you the clue it is the transitive property that is wanted here.

A manufacturer of band saws wants to estimate the average repair cost per month for the saws he has sold to certain industries. He cannot obtain a repair cost for each saw, but he can obtain the total amount spent for saw repairs and the number of saws owned by each industry. Thus, he decides to use cluster sampling, with each industry as a cluster. The manufacturer selects a simple random sample of n = 20 from the N = 96 industries he services. The data on total cost of repairs per industry and number of saws per industry are as given in the accompanying table. Estimate the average repair cost per saw for the past month and place a bound on the error of estimation.

Let the width of the room be represented by w. Then the length is (2w-2), and the area is ...

  A = LW

  264 = (2w-2)w

  132 = w² -w . . . . . . . divide by 2, eliminate parentheses

Answers

Answer:

I'm pretty sure this is the answer....

The speakers are $56.

Sorry if i'm wrong. :')

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

You want to buy something that costs $160, and it's on sale for 35% off. What is the item's sale price?

First, convert the 35% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 35% by 100%, or 35% / 100% = 0.350.

Second, find out what 35% of $160 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.350 by the item's cost $160, like this:

0.350 x $160 = $56.00.

So for this sale, you'll save $56.00 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is

$160 - $56.00 = $104.00.

Alternatively, you can think about it this way. The item is 35% off. This means you'll pay 65.000% of the total cost (100% - 35% = 65.000%).

Now what's 65.000% of the total cost?

0.650 x $160 = $104.00.

Just like the result above, the sale price on the item is $104.00

C. 7,000 m = 7 km
D. 0.7 cm = 70 mm
E. 7 m = 7,000 km

Answers

Answer:

The answer is B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Meter is equal to 0.001 Kilometer

1 Centimeter is equal to 0.01 Meters

The unit conversions which has the true measurements are

a) 7 cm = 0.07 m

b) 7,000 m = 7 km

What is unit conversion?

In order to translate measurements of a particular amount between different units, a mathematical conversion factor is usually used. This modifies the measurement of the quantity without altering its effects.

The particular circumstances or the intended result control the conversion process. This may be governed by law, a contract, a list of technical specifications, or other publicly available standards.

A precise conversion from one system to another is necessary for some measures in order to maintain the precision of both the original measurement and the conversion.

Based on the connection between a particular pair of original units and a particular pair of target units, each conversion factor is chosen.

Given data ,

Let the unit conversion be represented as A

Let the first measurement be p

where the value of p is

p = 7 cm

From the unit conversion , 1 m = 100 cm

So , 7 cm = 0.07 m

And , let the second measurement be q = 7,000 m

From the unit conversion , 1 km = 1,000 m

7,000 m = 7 km

Hence , the unit conversions are solved

The length of the altitude of the equilateral triangle below is E) 6√3.

The answer is E) 6√3.

The altitude of an equilateral triangle is the perpendicular line that is drawn from a vertex to the opposite side. The altitude bisects the opposite side and the angle at the vertex.

In this equilateral triangle, the side length is 6. The altitude bisects the opposite side, so the altitude is also 6. The angle at the vertex is 60 degrees, so the altitude forms a 30-60-90 triangle with the opposite side and the altitude.

The ratio of the side length to the altitude in a 30-60-90 triangle is 1:√3:2. So, the altitude is 6 * √3 = 6√3.

Therefore, the length of the altitude of the equilateral triangle is 6√3.

The diagram shows three touching circles.
A is the centre of a circle of radius x centimeters.
B and C are the centers of circles of radius 3.8 centimeters. Angle ABC = 70.
Find the value of x

Answers

Answer:

x = 7.31 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

cos 70° = 3.8/AB

0.3420 = 3.8/AB

AB = 11.11 cm

x = 11.11 - 3.8 = 7.31 cm

The value of x which is the radius of circle A is 7.31 cm

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

AB = AC, hence ∠B = ∠C = 70°

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (angles in a triangle)

∠A + 70 + 70 = 180

∠A = 40°

BC = 3.8 + 3.8 = 7.6

Using sine rule:

BC/sinA = AB / sinB

7.6/sin(40) = AB/sin(70)

AB = 11.11 cm

x = 11.11 - 3.8 = 7.31 cm

The value of x which is the radius of circle A is 7.31 cm
