Hi!

We can set up a proportion then cross multiply to solve this.

\frac{45}{x}  \frac{18}{100}

45 x 100 = 4500
4500/18 = 250

The answer is 250

Hope this helps! :)

Hello,

14/25 = x/275

25 => 275

14 => x

x = 275 * 14 / 25 = 154

What is the value of x in the triangle?
yulyashka [42]
<h3>Answer: C) x = 13</h3>

====================================================

Work Shown:

We have a right triangle with legs a = 5 and b = 12. The hypotenuse is c = x which is unknown for now.

Use the pythagorean theorem to find x.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 12^2 = x^2

25 + 144 = x^2

169 = x^2

x^2 = 169

x = sqrt(169)  .... apply the square root to both sides

x = 13

Graph the following lines and write the equation in slope-intercept form. With y intercept of −3 and an x intercept of −4.5.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

y=-\frac{2}{3}x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line we need 2 points. We know:

  • If the y-intercept of the line is -3 then the point is (0,-3).
  • If the x-intercept of the line is -4.5 then the point is (-4.5,0).

Using these two point, we will find the slope and then substitute it into the point slope form y-y_1=m(x-x_1) with a point.

Slope: m=\frac{0--3}{-4.5-0}=\frac{0+3}{-4.5}=\frac{3}{-4.5}=-0.6667

This decimal is -2/3. We will now substitute -2/3 and (0,-3) into the point slope form.

y--3=-\frac{2}{3}(x-0)\\y+3=-\frac{2}{3}(x)\\y+3=-\frac{2}{3}x\\y=-\frac{2}{3}x-3
