Solve the proportion to determine the value of x. 2x / 5 = x+3 / 3

Mathematics

When you solve a proportion, your first step should be to cross-multiply.

\frac{2x}{5} = \frac{x + 3}{3}

When you cross-multiply, you should get this equation:

(2x)(3) = (x + 3)(5)

Now, solve it using algebra.

(2x)(3) = (x + 3)(5)       Multiply
       6x = 5x + 15         Subtract 5x from both sides
         x = 15

The value of x is 15.

Answer:

  ∠CAB = 28°

  ∠DAC = 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do in each case is make use of the relationships you know about angles in a triangle and around parallel lines. You can also use the relationships you know about diagonals in a rectangle, and the triangles they create.

<u>Left</u>

Take advantage of the fact that ∆AEB is isosceles, so the angles at A and B in that triangle are the same. If we call that angle measure x, then we have the sum of angles in that triangle is ...

  x + x + ∠AEB = 180°

  2x = 180° -124° = 56°

  x = 28°

The measure of angle CAB is 28°.

__

<u>Right</u>

Sides AD and BC are parallel, so diagonal AC can be considered a transversal. The two angles we're concerned with are alternate interior angles, so are congruent.

  ∠BCA = ∠DAC = 64°

The measure of angle DAC is 64°.

(Another way to look at this is that triangles BCE and DAE are congruent isosceles triangles, so corresponding angles are congruent.)

The radii of two right circular cylinders are in the ratio 3 : 4 and their heights are in the ratio 1 : 2. Calculate the ratio o
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

18.852:50.272

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

The radii of two right circular cylinders are in the ratio 3 : 4

r1= 3

r2= 4

Their heights are in the ratio 1 : 2

h1= 1

h2= 2

Step two:

The expression for the curve surface area is

CSA= 2πrh

CAS1=  2πr1h1

CAS1=  2*3.142*3*1

CAS1=  18.852

CAS2=  2πr2h2

CAS2=  2*3.142*4*2

CAS1=  50.272

The ratio of their curved surface areas

=18.852:50.272

if 2/3 of the girls in class have brown eyes and 1/4 of the girls have blue eyes, what fraction of the girls in class have neith
Crank
2/3 + 1/4. You start by converting the fractions so that they have a common denominator.
8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12
11/12 of the girls have blue and brown eyes. That leaves 1/12 of the girls who have neither blue nor brown eyes.
