Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

4/x=8/(x-3)

We can solve this using cross products

4 ( x-3) = 8x

Distribute

4x -12 = 8x

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x-12 = 8x-12-4x

-12 =4x

Divide each side by 4

-12/4 = 4x/4

-3 =x

james went out for a long walk . He walked 3 2/5 of the mile. then he sat down to take rest . After that he walked 5/7 of a mile

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Altogether James walked $4\frac{4}{35}$ miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves mixed fractions. Mixed fractions are first converted into proper fractions and then any operation can be performed on them.

Given

Distance of first walk = $3\frac{2}{5}$ of a mile

Distance of second walk = 5/7

In order to find how much he walked altogether, we have to find the sum of both fractions.

$Total\ distance = 3\frac{2}{5}+\frac{5}{7}\\= \frac{17}{5}+\frac{5}{7}\\=\frac{17*7}{5*7} + \frac{5*5}{7*5}\\=\frac{119}{35} + \frac{25}{35}\\=\frac{119+25}{35}\\=\frac{144}{35}\\=4\frac{4}{35}$

Hence,

Altogether James walked $4\frac{4}{35}$ miles.

Find x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree. Show your work.

ira [324]

Answer:

x = 63.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right we can use trig. ratios to solve

tan x° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{14.6}{7.2}$

⇒ x = $tan^{-1}$ ( $\frac{14.6}{7.2}$ ) = 63.7°
