Answer:2

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x+5)/3 = 3/2

Multiply both sides by 3:

2x + 5 = 9/2

Subtract 5 from both sides:

2x = 9/2 - 5 = 9/2 - 10/2 = 3/2

Divide both sides by :

x = 3/4

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A number x is multiplied by 2, then has 3 added to it, then is divided by x+5, and the answer is 3 halves.

Or, as an equation:

\frac{2x + 3}{x + 5}  =  \frac{3}{2}

Let's cross multiply:

4(2x + 3) = 2(x + 5)

Expand:

8x + 12 = 2x + 10

Now solve:

6x + 12 = 10

6x = -2

x =  \frac{-1}{3}

So the answer is -1/3

Given: ABCD parallelogram BK ⊥ AD , AB = 6, AK = 3 Find: m∠A, m∠B, m∠C, m∠D
Troyanec [42]

Answer: Angle A = 60°, angle B = 120°, angle C = 60°, angle D = 120°

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram for further details.

The question has given the parallelogram ABCD as having side AB measuring 6 units, side AK measuring 3 units and line BK has been drawn perpendicular to line AD. This means line AK forms a right angle at the point where it meets line AD. From the information provided and the figure derived from that, we have right angled triangle ABK with the right angle at point K, line AB equals 6 units and line AK equals 3 units.

Using angle A as the reference angle, line AK is the opposite (side facing the reference angle), line AB is the hypotenuse (line facing the right angle) and line AK is the adjacent (side that lies between the right angle and the reference angle).

Hence, using the trigonometric ratios,

Cos A = adjacent/hypotenuse

Cos A = 3/6

Cos A = 0.5

Checking with the calculator, (that is second function of Cos 0.5)

A = 60

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal (that is line AD is parallel to line BC) and therefore opposite angles are equal (that is angle A is equal to angle C).

Similarly, angle B is equal to angle D. However, angles in a quadrilateral equals 360 degrees.

Therefore, angles in parallelogram ABCD is derived as;

A + B + C + D = 360

60 + B + 60 + D = 360

120 + B + D = 360

Subtract 120 from both sides of the equation

B + D = 240

Having known that angle B equals angle D, angles B and D is derived as each half of the value 240

Angle B = 240/2

Angle B = 120

and angle D = 120

Therefore, the angles are;

A = 60, B = 120, C = 60, D = 120

Consumer complaints are frequently reported to the Better Business Bureau. Industries with the most complaints to the Better Bus
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Let the complaints by Industry be CbI

CbI               Frequency

Bank            26

Cable           44

Car               42

Cell               60

Collection     28

b) Percentages

CbI               percentage (%)

Bank              13

Cable            22

Car                21

Cell               30

Collection     14

c) The industry with the highest number of complaints is the Cell Industry.

d) The Bar Chart is attached to this solution. It was constructed in the Ms Excel suite.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The frequencies are simply the number of times each industry sector sent in a complaint. So, it's straight forward to present.

b) The percentage for each industry is done in comparison to the the total amount of complaints received.

Percentage for each industry = 100% × (Number of complaints from that industry)/(Total number of complaints)

Total amount of complaints received = 200

For Bank industry,

Percentage = 100% × (26/200) = 13%

For the Cable Industry,

Percentage = 100% × (44/200) = 22%

For Car industry,

Percentage = 100% × (42/200) = 21%

For Cell industry,

Percentage = 100% × (60/200) = 30%

For Collection industry,

Percentage = 100% × (28/200) = 14%

c) The industry with the highest number of complaints is the one with the highest frequency and percentage, and that is the Cell Industry.

d) The Bar Chart is attached to this solution. It was constructed in the Ms Excel suite.

PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION <br>Show that 4x – 7 is equivalent to 4(x - 1) – 3 when x = 3.​
Drupady [299]

Answer:

4(3) - 7 = 4(3 - 1) - 3

12 - 7 = 4(2) - 3

5 = 8 - 3

= 5

They are equivalent because when they are both simplified they have the same answer 5
