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

Which ordered pair represents the y-intercept of the graph of the equation y = -3x - 9?
Mnenie [13.5K]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = -3x - 9

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = -9, I should get y = 0

When x = -9
y = -3 (-9) - 9
= 18 (I did not get 0, wrong)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = -3, I should get y = 0
y = -3(-3) - 9
y = 9 - 9 
y = 0 (Yes, I got 0, correct)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = 0, I should get y = -3
y = -3 (0) - 9
y = 0 - 9
y = -9 (I did not get -3, wrong)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = 0, I should get y = -9
y = -3 (0) - 9
y = 0 - 9
y = -9 (Yes, I got -9, correct)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: (-3, 0) and (0, 9) are ordered pairs of the equation (Answer B, D)

The sum of the areas of two circles is 80 pi
katovenus [111]
The area of a circle is A = πr^2. We let A1 And A2 the areas of the circles and r1 and r2 the radius of each, respectivley.

A1 + A2 = 80π
Substitute the formula for the area,
π(r1)^2 + π (r2)^2 = 80π

From the statement, we know that r2=2(r1).

<span>π(r1)^2 + π (2 x r1)^2 = 80π
</span>We can cancel π, we will have

5 x (r1)^2 = 80
Thus,

r1 = 4 and r2 = 8

What is the answer to this equation. Please I really need help.
Anika [276]

Answer:

Angle A = Angle X

Line Segment CA = Line Segment ZX

Angle Y = Angle B

Line Segment YX = Line Segment BA

Step-by-step explanation:

Both triangles are stated to be equal so we can draw two triangles and label them. One triangle has Point A, Point B, and Point C. The second triangle has Point X, Point Y, and Point Z. Make sure that Point X on the second triangle is in the same spot as Point A on the first triangle (same for points B, C, Y, and Z).

1. Pia printed two maps of a walking trail. The length of the trail on the first map is 8 cm. The length of the trail on the sec
Alex

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b) 1- scale factor from the first map to the second map:

\frac{8}{6}  = 1.33

   2- landmark on the first map is a triangle with side lengths of 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm.

Side lengths of the landmark on the second map

Divide the length by scale factor:

side lengths of 3 mm:  \frac{3}{1.33} = 2.25 mm

side lengths of 4 mm:  \frac{4}{1.33} = 3.007 mm

side lengths of 5 mm:  \frac{5}{1.33} = 3.75 mm
