Answer:

x = 40/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 = (8/x) + 6

-6                -6

2/3 - 6 = -16/3

-16/3 = 8/x

*x          *x

(-16/3)x = 8

+16/3     +16/3

x = 40/3

Answer: x= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation  : \dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{8}{(x+6)}

To solve the above equation, first we multiply 3(x+6) on both sides , then we get

3(x+6)\times\dfrac{2}{3}=3(x+6)\times\dfrac{8}{(x+6)}

\Rightarrow\ (x+6)\times2=3\times8

Using distribution property : (b+c)a=ba+ca

we get

\Rightarrow\ (x)(2)+(6)(2)=24

\Rightarrow\ 2x+12=24

Subtract 12 from both sides , we get

\Rightarrow\ 2x=12

Divide both sides by 2 , we get

x=6

Hence, the value of x= 6 .

A line with a slope of -4 has a coordinate of (0,3). If the other coordinate is (6,t),
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Alrighty! So this is what we know:

Slope (m) = (-4)

Co-ordinate (0,3)

Co-ordinate 2 (6,t)

t = ?

Let's find our equation...

y=mx+b <-- just plug what we know in...

3=(-4)0+b

3=0+b

b=3

We just found b! woohoo

Now what is t? t is a value we need to know WHICH IS the y value of a co-ordinate that corresponds to when x is 6, as we know a co-ordinate is expressed as --> (x value, y value).

SO-

t=y

plug it in our equation...

y=mx+b

t=(-4)x+3

t=(-4)(6)+3

t=(-24)+3

t=(-21)

SOOOOOOOO WE HAVE OUR T!! just write a therefore statement like "therefore the value of t is -21." and you're set! hope this helped, any questions? ask in the comment section. :)

The consecutive angles of a parallelogram measure (x+30) and 4x°. What is the measure of the smallest
Sophie [7]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

180=(x+30)+(4x)

Ok, combine like terms. That'll give you

180=5x+30.

Now solve for x. X is going to equal 30.

Then substitute 30 for x in the angles. One angle will be 60 and the other will be 120.

60 is smaller than 120 so that's your answer.

There are 10 boys and 12 girls in the tennis club. The coach wants to select two players to practice first. Which statements are
Sidana [21]
Since there are 22 participants all in all. The possible combinations of the two picked for practice first is, 
                               22C2 = 231
The probability of picking one from each gender will be solved through the calculation below.
                              (10C1)x(12C1) / 231 = 40/77
In percentage, the answer would be approximately 52%. Thus, the answer is the first choice.
