Answer:

x = 5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram first.

We know that in a triangle if we draw a line parallel to the baseline then it will divide the other two lines of the triangle in the same ratio.

Therefore, from the given figure it is clear that $\frac{x}{13-x} = \frac{2}{3}$

⇒ 3x = 26 - 2x

⇒ 5x = 26

⇒ x = 5.2 (Answer)

Selmas class making a care package to give to victims of a natural disaster.Selma packs one box in 5 minutes and has already pac

bixtya [17]

Each of them need to work 105 minutes more in order to have packed the same number of boxes.

Explanation

Suppose, they need to work for $x$ minutes more in order to have packed the same number of boxes.

Selma packs one box in 5 minutes and Trudy packs one box in 7 minutes.

So, the number of boxes packed by Selma in that $x$ minutes $=\frac{x}{5}$ and the number of boxes packed by Trudy in $x$ minutes $=\frac{x}{7}$

Given that, Selma and Trudy have already packed 12 and 18 boxes.

Now if each of them packed the same number of boxes, then the equation will be......

$12+\frac{x}{5}=18+\frac{x}{7}\\ \\ \frac{x}{5}-\frac{x}{7}= 18-12\\ \\ \frac{7x-5x}{35}=6\\ \\ \frac{2x}{35}=6\\ \\ 2x= 210\\ \\ x= \frac{210}{2}=105$

So, each of them need to work 105 minutes more in order to have packed the same number of boxes.

There is a vendor at a carnival selling bags of cotton candy. Each bag of cotton candy has the same cost. She starts each day wi

umka21 [38]

Answer:

The cost of each cotton candy bag is $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let, the vendor has $x$ dollar at the starting of each day.

Let, the cost of each cotton candy bag is $y$ .

Now when she sells a total of 12 bags, she has $128.

$x+12y=128$ .....(1)

After she sells a total of 20 bags, she has $160.

$x+20y=160$ ....(2)

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2.

$(x+20y)-(x+12y)=160-128$

$8y=32$

$y=4$

Hence, the cost of each cotton candy bag is $4.
