To find the answer, you find out the height of the plants for each week until they're the same.

Equation: Growth × Week + Original Height

For Kia: 2/3w + 8 1/5
For Lyric: 1/6w + 10 7/10
Kia:
Week 0 = 8 1/5 in.
Week 1 = 8 13/15 in.
Week 2 = 9 8/15 in.
Week 3 = 10 1/5 in.
Week 4 = 10 13/15 in.
Week 5 = 11 8/15 in.

Lyric:
Week 0 = 10 7/10 in.
Week 1 = 10 13/15 in.
Week 2 = 11 1/30 in.
Week 3 = 11 1/5 in.
Week 4 = 11 11/30 in.
Week 5 = 11 8/15 in.

Solution: 5 Weeks

0.2y=0.5x+0.1 please solve with math thank you
Cerrena [4.2K]
<span>"Simplifying 0.2y = 0.5x + 0.1
 Reorder the terms: 0.2y = 0.1 + 0.5x Solving 0.2y = 0.1 + 0.5x Solving for variable 'y'.
 Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.  
Divide each side by '0.2'. y = 0.5 + 2.5x Simplifying y = 0.5 + 2.5x"</span>

Ainat [17]

Answer:

51 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that for every 15 minutes of a show, there are two minutes to commercial. At this rate, Leila has seen 45 minutes of a show. We are asked to find the time for which Leila has been watching TV.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

\frac{\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}}{\text{Minutes of TV show}}=\frac{15+2}{15}

\frac{\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}}{\text{Minutes of TV show}}=\frac{17}{15}  

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

\frac{\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}}{45}=\frac{17}{15}

\frac{\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}}{45}\times 45=\frac{17}{15}\times 45

\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}=\frac{17}{1}\times 3

\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}=51

Therefore, Leila has been watching TV together for 51 minutes.

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Similar Triangles</u>

By looking at the construction of the figure, we can safely assume both triangles are similar, i.e. their internal angles are equal and their sides are proportional. Following the proportion of the heights and bases of both triangles we can set this relationship:

\displaystyle \frac{45}{36}=\frac{5x}{20}

Simplifying both fractions

\displaystyle \frac{5}{4}=\frac{x}{4}

Solving for x

x=5
