Step-by-step Solution:

Let the "?" be known as "x".

Given equation:

3/5 = 24/40 = x/60

Therefore, we obtain the following equations:

Equation 1: 3/5 = 24/40
Equation 2: 3/5 = x/60
Equation 3: 24/40 = x/60

Clearly, the second and the third equation have the "x" variable included. Therefore, we will only focus on the second and third equations.

3/5 = x/60
24/40 = x/60

Note: We can choose any equation to solve for x. The value of x in both equations will be the same as 3/5 = 24/40.

Determining the "x" variable in Equation 2:

⇒ 3/5 = x/60
⇒ 5x = 60 × 3 [Cross multiplication]
⇒ 5x = 180 [Simplifying]
⇒ 5x/5 = 180/5 [Dividing]
⇒ x = 36 [Simplifying]

Determining the "x" variable in Equation 3:

⇒ 24/40 = x/60
⇒ 40x = 24 × 60 [Cross multiplication]
⇒ 40x = 1440 [Simplifying]
⇒ 40x/40 = 1440/40 [Dividing]
⇒ x = 36 [Simplifying]

Therefore, the value of "?" is 36.

Answer:

? = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that 3/5 and 24/40 is equal

Therefore we can either use:

3/5 = ?/60 or 24/40 = ?/60

I will use 3/5 = ?/60

Let ? = x

Hence we have

3/5 = x/60

Multiply both sides by 10

6 = x/6

Multiply both sides by 6

x = 36

Therefore, the question mark = 36

Let's check the answer by Simplifying the fraction:

3/5 = 36/60

3/5 is in already simplify

36/60 simplify = 3/5

3/5 = 3/5

Thus, the question mark = 36

Help asap!!! exponential function matching table..?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equations have the form of a geometric sequence

$y=ar^x\text{ y=final value, a=initial value, r=common ratio, x=term number}\\ \\ \text{The common ratio is found by dividing any term by the previous term, in this case}\\ \\ r=\frac{1}{3},\ a=27\\ \\ f(x)=27\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^x$

Graph a line with a slope of 3/4 that contains the point (2,-3).

arsen [322]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, plot the point (2, -3) on the graph. Then, use the slope to pick another point. The slope is rise over run. For your slope, the line will go 3 places up and then 4 places to the right. Using a straight-edge, follow the points and you will get the graph of the line.

In this problem, you must use SohCahToa which basically means:

Sin - opposite over hypotenuse

Cosine - adjacent over hypotenuse

Tangent - Opposite over hypotenuse

So in this picture we have 4 -which is on the opposite side of x - and a 5 -which is the hypotenuse of the triangle. This means we must use sin.

Using a calculator you put in:

$sin^{-1} (\frac{4}{5} )$

Your answer is 53.13 degrees
