How do I find X in this problem

Mathematics
1 answer:
pogonyaev3 years ago
4 0
You know that BC is congruent to x so you need to solve for x using the ratio:
\frac{12}{24}=\frac{x}{BC}

So then we need to find BC.

We know:
A=\frac{base \times height}{2}
28=\frac{BC \times 7}{2}
Therefore BC =8

Then:
\frac{12}{24}=\frac{x}{8}
x=8 \times \frac{12}{24} = 4

(15/8+2/5)+(-7/8) show ur work
stepan [7]
The answer is 7/5 th. You can add fractions without first having a common denominator so you would change the 8's by multiplying it by 5 to get 40 and you would multiply the 5 by 8 to get 40 as well. And the rule whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top so whatever you multiplied 8 by do the same for the numerator and whatever you multiplied 5 by you do the same for the numerator. So your new equation would be (75/40+16/40)+(-35/40). you would then add the numerator's across to get 56 and the denominator would stay the same so the answer is 56/40. But you have to now simplify 56/40 down to 14/10 and then once more to 7/5 which is the final answer.

the length of a rectangle is 2 cm less than five times the width. the area of the rectangle is 16 cm^2. find the length and widt
ahrayia [7]
<span>length = L
</span>width = w

L = (5w-2) cm

w(5w-2)=16 \\ 5w^2-2w-16=0 \\ D=b^2-4ac=(-2)^2-4*5*(-16)=324 \\ w_{1,2}= \frac{-bб \sqrt{D} }{2a}  \\ w_1= \frac{2- \sqrt{324} }{2*5}= \frac{2-18}{10}=-1.6 \ \ \O \\ w_2=  \frac{2+18}{10}=2 cm

width = 2 cm
length = 5w-2 = 5*2-2 = 8 cm

How do you find direct variation. I’m having trouble understanding some of these examples.
Rufina [12.5K]
Direct variation is a relation that has the form

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality.

If you are told that a relation is a direct proportion, and you are given one data point, you can find k. The you can write the equation of the direct relation.

Here is an example.
The price of gasoline follows a direct variation.
John bought 5 gallons of gas and paid $15.
a) Write an equation for the relation.
b) Using the relation you found, how much do 13.8 gallons cost?

Solution:
Since the relation is a direct variation, it follows the general equation of a direct variation:

y = kx

We are given one data point, 5 gallons cost $15.
We plug in  5 for x and 15 for y and we find k.

y = kx
15 = k * 5
k = 3

Now that we know that k = 3, we rewrite the relation using our value of k.

y = 3x

This is the answer to part a).

Part b)

We use our relation, y = 3x, and we plug in 13.8 into x and find y.

y = 3x

y = 3 * 13.8

y = 41.4

The price of 15 gallons of gas is $41.40.
