Everett made 3/5 of the baskets he shot. Suppose he shot 60 baskets. How many did he make?

2 answers:

7 0

You have to multiply 5×12 to get 60. And whatever you do on the bottom you do on the top. So
you then multiply 3×12 and you
get 36. So he got 36 out of 60
shots.

3 (12) 36
-- = --
5 (12) 60

What is the length of DE? I need to find X. A: 8 B: 7 C: 5 D:6

erik [133]

The ratio of one triangle to the other (because they are similar, since the top angles are both 44 degrees and the two sides on the other sides of them are the same) is 12:8, or 3:2.

So therefore, we can say it's 9:6, so DE is 6.

Solve (x + 6)/x - 4) = -16 0 (-12. 22) 0 1-4. 2) O {-4. 6)

Answer:

$3\frac{7}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{(x + 6)}{(x - 4)} = - 16 \\ \\ x + 6 = - 16(x - 4) \\ x + 6 = - 16x + 64 \\ x + 16x = 64 - 6 \\ 17x = 58 \\ x = \frac{58}{17} \\ x = 3\frac{7}{17} \\$
