<span>To find the answer to this equation, use the result of "27 people" who prefer tea. This is equivalent to 3 out of 10 people in the whole survey sample. Using equivalent fractions to find the total sample, we see that "3/10 = 27/x." Multiplying 3 by 9 gives 27, so multiplying 10 by 9 gives a total sample size of 90 people.</span>
Answer:
x = 2 or
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 2)(x + 7) = 0
x - 2 = 0
Add 2 to both sides
x - 2 + 2 = 2 + 0
x = 2
OR
x + 7 = 0
Subtract 7 from both sides
x + 7 - 7 = 0-7
x = -7
Therefore
x = 2 or
x = -7
Answer:
FE = 28 and YZ = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
In similar triangles the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.
(4)
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
39(5x - 2) = 42(4x + 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
195x - 78 = 168x + 84 ( subtract 168x from both sides )
27x - 78 = 84 ( add 78 to both sides )
27x = 162 ( divide both sides by 27 )
x = 6
Thus
FE = 5x - 2 = 5(6) - 2 = 30 - 2 = 28
(5)
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
35(3x - 7) = 40(2x + 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
105x - 245 = 80x + 80 ( subtract 80x from both sides )
25x - 245 = 80 ( add 245 to both sides )
25x = 325 ( divide both sides by 25 )
x = 13
Thus
YZ = 2x + 2 = 2(13) + 2 = 26 + 2 = 28
