Hey!

We could write the problem like this,
$\frac{7}{8}=\frac{21}{x}$
Cross multiply!
$7x=8\cdot \:21$
We know that $8\cdot \:21=168$ , let's plug that in.
$7x=168$
Divide both sides by 7.
$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{168}{7}$

Our final answer would be,
$x=24$

Thanks!

$\frac{21}{1} \frac{7}{8} = \frac{21}{x} ( \frac{21}{1} ) 
 \\ Cross-out, the DOUBLE 21's \\ 7(x) = 21 \\ 21(8) = ? \\ 7(x) = 168 \\ \frac{168}{7} = 24 \\ Answer: x = 24$ $Choice. 2$

A rectangular cracker has a length of 5 centimeters and an area f 20 square centimeters. Find its perimeter.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

18cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the length of the rectangle but we need to find the width which we'll call w. Area is a, l is length.

a = l * w

20 = 5 * w

divide both sides by 5 to cancel the multiplication by 5 on the right side

4 = w

The rectangle is going to have two sides that are the length of l, and two sides that are the the length of w. We're looking for the perimiter p.

p = 2l + 2w

p = (2 * 5) + (2 * 4)

p = 18

Help me find the function pls

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function has been shifted upward by 2 units, but there has been no horizontal scaling. Any horizontal offset must be equal to some number of whole periods.

Choices A and B show tan( )+2, the correct vertical offset. However, choice A has a horizontal scale factor of 2. The correct choice is B, which has no horizontal scaling (the coefficient of x is 1) and a horizontal offset of π, one full period.

Comment on horizontal scaling

Horizontal scaling is different from vertical scaling in that using k·x in place of x compresses the graph horizontally by a factor of k. On the other hand, using k·f(x) in place of f(x) expands the graph vertically by a factor of k.
