Answer:

x =30

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to evaluate the solution 4/5=20/(x-5)?

solution

the first step to take is to cross multiply

4/5=20/(x-5)

we have,

5 x 20 = 4 ( x -5)

100 = 4x - 20

combine the like terms

100+20 = 4x

120 = 4x

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

120/4 = 4x/4

30 = x

x =30

therefore the value of x in the expression 4/5=20/(x-5)? is 30

In a contest to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar, Alice guessed 25;Betty, 18;Clare,23;Dotty,19;Edith,24;and Fran,17. Two

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

<em>There are 21 jelly beans in the jar.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the number of jelly beans in the jar is $x$

Two were off by 2, two were off by 3, two were off by 4. That means, the six guessed number will be: $(x+2), (x-2), (x+3), (x-3), (x+4), (x-4)$

Given that, Alice guessed 25; Betty, 18; Clare, 23; Dotty, 19; Edith, 24; and Fran, 17.

So, the sum of all six guessed number will be: $25+18+23+19+24+17=126$

Thus, the equation will be..........

$(x+2)+(x-2)+(x+3)+(x-3)+(x+4)+(x-4)= 126\\ \\ 6x= 126\\ \\ x=\frac{126}{6}=21$

So, the number of jelly beans in the jar is 21.

Identify the congruent triangles in the figure.

Komok [63]

Answer:

The answer would be HFG = KIJ (A)

If we know that the opposite and the adjacent side of the triangle are congruent, then the hypotenuse is congruent too. Therefor, A is correct as we know the opposite side and the adjacent side are congruent.

A motel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $27 per day. If 26 rooms were rented one day for a total of $807,

torisob [31]

Let, number of double rooms and single rooms are d and s.

d + s = 26 ....1 )

Hotel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $27 per day.

34d + 27s = 807 ....2)

Solving equation 1 and 2, we get :

34( 26 - s ) + 27s = 807

884 - 34s + 27s = 807

7s = 77

s = 11

And d = 26 - 11 = 15

Therefore, number of double rooms and single rooms are 15 and 11.

Hence, this is the required solution.
