In a proportion there are letters assigned to represent various numbers. a, b, c, and d.

a, b, c, and d are 4 non-zero rational numbers that are terms of proportion.

a/b = c/d or a:b = c:d

a and d are the end terms or known as the extremes.
b and c are the middle terms or known as the means.

With this information, we can gather that the extremes of the following proportion are 3 and 60.

3/15 = 12/60 ; a/b = c/d
a = 3 ; b = 15 ; c = 12 ; d = 60

3 and 60 are the extremes
15 and 12 are the means

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by isolating the variable.

3-√x = 0

√x = 3 (add √x to both sides of the equation)

x = 9 (square both sides of the equation)

4. I NEED HELP ASAP!! PLEASE PUT AND ANSWER AND STEP BY STEP EQUATION!! IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER DON'T PUT ANYTHING!!

Answer:

The answer is A (y = 2x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

B and D aren't correct because the y-intercept is a positive 2 instead of negative 2 like the graph shown. We're now left with A and C. Go on one point of the graph and count up or down to go on the same y value as the other point. Go left or right and count until you go to the same point. Remember that the slope equation is rise/run. Rise meaning up or down. Run meaning left or right.

Rachael has a rope 5 m 32 cm long that she cut into two pieces. One piece is 249 cm long. How many centimeters long is the other

satela [25.4K]

1 m = 100 cm, so 5 m = 500 cm plus the 32 cm, so she has a rope that is 532 cm long.

532 - 249 = 283 cm

So the other piece of rope is 283 cm long.

The slide at the playground has a height of 5 feet.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Assuming the slide is straight - 12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the slide is straight - it creates a right triangle with long side 13 feet and one of the short sides of 5 feet. We need to find the other short side.

We know that:

$x^2 + 5^2 = 13^2\\x^2 + 25 = 169\\x^2 = 144\\x = 12 \vee x = -12\textrm{; but -12 doesn't make sense}$
