Step-by-step explanation:

—Let the unknown number is x, so we can write the equation like below.

\frac{2}{5}  \times x =  \frac{3}{8}

\:

—Find x.

\frac{2}{5}  \times x =  \frac{3}{8}

x =  \frac{3}{8}  \div  \frac{2}{5}

x =  \frac{3}{8}  \times  \frac{5}{2}

x =  \frac{15}{16}

\:

—Let's prove that it's true.

\frac{2}{5}  \times x =  \frac{3}{8}

\frac{2}{5}  \times  \frac{15}{16}  =  \frac{3}{8}

\frac{30}{80}  =  \frac{3}{8}

\frac{30 \div 10}{80 \div 10}  =  \frac{3}{8}

\frac{3}{8}  =  \frac{3}{8}  \:  \:  \text{proved}

\:

So, the other number or the value of x is \frac{15}{16}

A line passes through the point (5,-11) and has a slope of -2 Find an equation of this line.
Vsevolod [243]

Formula: y = mx + b

m being the slope

Slope given: -2, plug it in

Y = -2x + b

Now find y intercept (b)

Plug in the point (5,-11)

-11 = -2(5) + b

-11 = -10 + b, b = -1

Solution: y = -2x -1

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP. I REALLY NEED THIS DONE
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

x = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Altitude- on- Hypotenuse theorem

(leg of big Δ )² = (part of hypotenuse below it ) × (whole hypotenuse)

x² = 25 × 169 = 4225 ( take square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{4225} = 65
