1 fathom = 6 feet

2 1/2 fathoms = x feet

2 1/2 fathoms • 6 feet = x feet

x = 15

2 1/2 fathoms = 15 feet

You just do 2 * 6, which is 12,
then 1/2 of a fathom, or 6 is 3
so, add 3 to 12 to get 15.

2 1/2 fathoms = 15 feet.

Solve the proportion

mario62 [17]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf x = 5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf Solve \: for \: x \: over \: the \: real \: numbers: \\ \sf \implies \frac{2}{x - 3} = \frac{5}{x} \\ \\ \sf Take \: the \: reciprocal \: of \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies \frac{x - 3}{2} = \frac{x}{5} \\ \\ \sf Expand \: out \: terms \: of \: the \: left \: hand \: side: \\ \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{x}{5} \\ \\ \sf Subtract \: \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} \: from \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - ( \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} ) = \frac{x}{5} - ( \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} ) \\ \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{x}{5} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{x}{5} - \frac{x}{5} + \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf \frac{x}{5} - \frac{x}{5} = 0 : \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf \frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{2} = 0: \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{5} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{5} = \frac{5x - 2x}{10} = \frac{3x}{10} : \\ \sf \implies \frac{3x}{10} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf Multiply \: both \: sides \: by \: \frac{10}{3} : \\ \sf \implies \frac{3x}{10} \times \frac{10}{3} = \frac{3}{2 } \times \frac{10}{3} \\ \\ \sf \frac{3x}{10} \times \frac{10}{3} = \cancel{\frac{3}{10} } \times( x) \times \cancel{ \frac{10}{3} } = x : \\ \sf \implies x = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{10}{3} \\ \\ \sf \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{10}{3} = \cancel{ \frac{3}{2} } \times \cancel{ \frac{3}{2} } \times 5 : \\ \sf \implies x = 5$

What is the function to 5c+4=2 (c-5)

Vinvika [58]

To solve the function we proceed as follows:
5c+4=2(c-5)
opening the parentheses we get:
5c+4=2c-10
putting like terms together we get
5c-2c=-10-4
3c=-14
c=-14/3
