In the diagram, AB:BC is 3:4 and AC:42 Find BC

Mathematics
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago
6 0
From the diagram:
AB + BC = AC
we know that AC = 42, therefore:
AB + BC = 42 ..............> equation I

We know that the ratio AB:BC is 3:4. This means that:
AB/BC = 3/4
4AB = 3BC
AB = (3/4) BC ...............> equation II

Substitute by equation II in equation I to get BC as follows:
(3/4) BC + BC = 42
1.75 BC = 42
BC = 24

Substitute with the value of BC in equation II to get AB as follows:
AB = (3/4) * 24 = 18

Factor 3xy+21x+9 completely
inn [45]

Answer:

<h2>Hence the second option is the correct answer</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we are required to factor out the given terms as stated in the expression, what is obtainable is that we look for terms(greatest terms) that are common to all the terms in the expression and factor it out.

here is a way to do it

given the following expression

3xy+21x+9

From the expression above we can see that 3 is common to all the terms of the expression so that we have

3(xy+7x+3)

hence the second option is the correct answer

2.3,2 4/5, 2.6 from least to greatest
Alex777 [14]
Hello there! 

Least to greatest of these problem

For the fractions you can simplify it make it easier for you to solve these types of problems

Anyhow! 

Let's find our answer, shall we? 

2.3 = 2.3 \\ \\  2\frac{4}{5} =  \frac{14}{5}  =  2.8 \\ \\ 2.6 = 2.6
 
Our answer: 2.3 \\ 2.6 \\  2\frac{4}{5}

Since opening night, attendance at Play A has increased steadily, while attendance at Play B first rose and then fell. Equations
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: option d is correct .


Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the same attendance  we set both equation equal

8x+191 = -x^2+26x+126

simplifying equation ,we get

x^2 -18x+65=0

(x-5) (x-13) = 0

x =5  or x =13

therefore on 5th day and 13th day  both plays attendance  is same

and it is obtained by plugging x = 5 in  and x =13 in either of the equation.

for x = 5 ,

y = 8(5) +191 = 40+191 = 231

for x = 13

y = 8(13)+191

 = 104+191

 = 295

therefore option d is correct
