Answer
The missing length is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the missing length with x
The sides of the given shape are directly proportional.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
We factor 2 to obtain;
We factor the polynomial within the parenthesis by grouping.
We apply difference of two squares on the second factor: 
We now compare to;
It is now obvious that
Answer:
5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the denominator be x and numerator be y.
Given, numerator is 4 less than denominator
=> y = x - 4 ...(1)
When 5 is added to both:
Numerator = y + 5 , and, denominator = x + 5
Now their ratio is 5/7.
=> (y + 5)/(x + 5) = 5/7
=> 7(y + 5) = 5(x + 5)
=> 7y + 35 = 5x + 25
=> 7y - 5x = 25 - 35
=> 7(x - 4) - 5x = -10 {y=x-4}
=> 7x - 28 - 5x = -10
=> 2x = 18
=> x = 9
Thus,
Fraction is y/x = (x-4)/x = (9-4)/9 = 5/9
Number of nickels plus number of dimes equals total number of coins
so
n + d = 40
then they tell us that "there are seven times as many dimes as there are nickels"
this translates to
d = 7n
we then plug that into our first equation
and get
n + 7n = 40
then we solve for n
add like terms
8n = 40
then divide both sides by 8
n = 40/8 = 5
therefore Jimmy has 5 nickels
90,000
the reason is because look at the 1,000 place that rounds the 10,000 place to 0 and carries the 1 over to the 100,000 place
