Step-by-step explanation:

why ? you did it right there already.

the numerator is the top part of the fraction, the "counting" part (how many units of a certain type or size are there).

the denominator (the bottom part) is defining the type or size of units described by the fraction.

so, we are adding 4 to the numerator of 2/5, making it (2+4)/5 = 6/5

what do we need to add to the denominator (the bottom part) to make the fraction have the value of 1/2 ?

so, what x would make 6/x = 1/2 ?

6 = x/2

x = 6×2 = 12

so, we need to get 12 in the denominator, where we have currently 5.

therefore, we need to add 12-5 = 7 to it.

so that

6/(5+7) = 6/12 = 1/2

How many gallons of gas are left after driving 200 miles

BaLLatris [955]

The equation y = -0.04x + 12 gives the number of gallons of gas in your car where x is the number of miles drivene

easy

y=gas left
x=miles

sub 200 for x
y=-0.04(200)+12
y=-8+12
y=4

4 gallons left

If I can paint a wall in 20 min and my friend can paint a wall in 30 min. How many minutes would it take for us to paint a wall

ra1l [238]

Answer: $12\ \text{min}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

It takes 20 min and 30 min for a person and his friend to paint a wall individually i.e.

In 1 min they cover $\frac{1}{20}$ part and $\frac{1}{30}$ part of wall respectively.

If the work together, 1 minute work is

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{30}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3+2}{60}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{60}$

Time required will be reciprocal of it

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{60}{5}=12\ \text{min}$

A section of a rectangle is shaded. The area of the shaded section is 63 square units. What is the value of x?

ella [17]

Answer:

$x=11$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph of a rectangle. The area of the shaded section is 63 square units. We are asked to find the value of x.

We can see from our given graph that shaded section forms a trapezoid, so we will use area of trapezoid formula to find the value of x.

$\text{Area of trapezoid}=\frac{(a+b)}{2}\times h$ , where, a and b represents the parallel sides of trapezoid and h represents height of trapezoid.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

$63=\frac{7+x}{2}\times 7$

$63=(7+x)*3.5$

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 3.5 we will get,

$\frac{63}{3.5}=\frac{(7+x)*3.5}{3.5}$

$18=7+x$

Let us subtract 7 from both sides of our equation.

$18-7=7-7+x$

$11=x$

Therefore, the value of x is 11 units.

I Have 10 Minutes Hurry for Brainlist and pls be accurate

yulyashka [42]

To find the equation we will put the values of x and y in the equations and then check if LHS=RHS.

$\large\red{\sf{y=3x-1}}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 9=3(1)-1\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 9=3-1\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 9≠2 \end{gathered}$

$\large\green{\sf{y=5x+4}}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 9=5(1)+4\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 9=5+4\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 9=9\end{gathered}$

$\large\blue{\sf{y=-2x-8}}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 9=-2(1)-8\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 9=-2-8\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 9≠10\end{gathered}$

$\large\pink{\sf{y=6x-8}}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 9=6(1)-8\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 9=6-8\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto 9≠-2\end{gathered}$

Hence, Option B. y=5x+4 satisfies the system (1,9)
