The simplified ratio of the width of a seating section to the width of the stairs, using proportions, is of:

120.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and these proportions are built in the context of a problem, involving basic arithmetic operations, especially multiplication and division, to find the desired measures.

One example of application of proportions is for ratio problems, as the ratio between two amounts a and b is given by the division of the amount a by the amount b.

A seating section is composed as follows:

30 seats.

Each set has a width of 24 feet.

Hence the total width of a seating section is calculated as follows:

30 x 24 = 720 feet.

The width of a stair is:

6 feet.

Hence the ratio of these widths is given as follows:

720/6 = 120.

What is the solution to the equation 3x-5=2x+8+x?

Marysya12 [62]

So when solving this you are going to have to solve the equation.
Okay so first thing we need to do is simplify both sides of your equation so:
3x−5=2x+8+x
Simplifying process:
3x+−5=2x+8+x
Combine Like Terms ⇒ 3x−5=(2x+x)+(8)
3x−5=3x+8
3x−5=3x+8
Second thing we are now going to do is subtract 3x from both sides so:
3x−5−3x=3x+8−3x
−5=8
Final step is to add 5 to both sides:
−5+5=8+5
0=13
The answer to your question is "There are no solutions"

If a person gets paid $290 a load and receive 5% increase on top of that, how much more is he getting paid?

lesya [120]

That person is getting $14.50 more. Since he gets a 5% increase from the set $290, you must multiply .05 (the percentage) with 290 (that person's original load payment). When you do so, you get $14.50 and that would be how much more the person is getting paid.

34. For the following exercises, given each set of information, find a linear equation satisfying the conditions, if possible.

skad [1K]

Answer:

The linear equation for the line which passes through the points given as (-1,4) and (5,2), is written in the point-slope form as $y=\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{13}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A condition is given that a line passes through the points whose coordinates are (-1,4) and (5,2).

It is asked to find the linear equation which satisfies the given condition.

Step 1 of 3

Determine the slope of the line.

The points through which the line passes are given as (-1,4) and (5,2). Next, the formula for the slope is given as,

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substitute 2&4 for $y_{2}$ and $y_{1}$ respectively, and $5 \&-1$ for $x_{2}$ and $x_{1}$ respectively in the above formula. Then simplify to get the slope as follows,
