Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
= 
2/4 = 5/x
1/2 = 5/x
cross multiply
x=5*2 = 10
Answer:216
Step-by-step explanation:
We let x to represent the number of other nuts
Peanut : other
5 : 3
360 : X
Then we cross multiply
5 × x = 360 × 3
5X = 1080
Divide bothside by 5
5X/5 = 1080/5
X = 216
Therefore the number of other nuts in the can is 216.
Use the app Desmos it’s a graphing calculator! Or you can go to y= if you have a TI-84 plus calculator
X=width of a coccer pitch
2x-20=length of a soccer pitch
Area (rectangule)=length x width
We suggest this equation:
x(2x-20)=6000
2x²-20x=6000
2x²-20x-6000=0
x²-10x-3000=0
We solve this quadratic equation:
x=[10⁺₋√(100-4*1*-3000)]/2=[10⁺₋√(100+12000)]/2=
=(10⁺₋110)/2
we have two solutions:
x₁=(10-110)/2=-50, invalid solution.
x₂=(10+110)/2=60
x=60
2x-20=2(60)-20=120-20=100
Solution: the length is 100 m, and the width is 60 m.
To check:
Area=100 m*60 m=6000 m²
The twice of width is =2(60 m)=120 m,
20 m less than twice its width is: 120 m-20 m=100 m=the length.
