So a hack is we know that 20% times 5 =100% and 40 divided by 2=20 so

50=40%
divide both sides by 2
25=20%

20 times 5=100 so
multiply both sides by 5
125=100%

 All you have to do is times 100 by 50 and then divide the product: 5000 by 40 which equals 125.

how I solved it (solved for X) below:

40/100 = 50/x --> 50*100 = 40x --> 5000 = 40x --> 5000/40 = x --> 125 = x
<u></u>
KEY: <u>/ means </u><u>divide</u>  <u>* means times</u>  <u>= means equals</u>  <u>--> means "next step</u><u>"</u>

It is called cross multiplication

Solve the system of equations algebraically:<br><br> 2x - y = -1<br> 3x + y = 6
Sindrei [870]
Using substitution method
from the first equ
2x+y=-1
y= -1-2x --------(3)
put equ 3 into equ 2
3x -1-2x=6
3x-2x=6+1
x =7
put x+7 into equ 1
2(7) + y = -1
14 + Y =-1
y= -1-14
y=-15
so
x=7 and y=-15<span />

Someone please help me find x

So for a tangent and a secant, you multiply x^2 (since it’s a tangent you square it) and test that equal to 6(6+12) so now you have x^2=6(6+12). solve for X to get sqrt(108) or 10.4

the equation is — tan^2=outside x whole thing

remember to ADD the entire secant (so add 6 plus 12) don’t multiply them (6x12)

x^2=6(6+12)
x^2=6(18) OR x^2=36+72
x^2=108
x=sqrt(108) OR x=10.4

Answer:

\$11.13

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the surface area of the cylinder

The surface area of the cylinder is equal to

SA=\pi r^{2} +2\pi rh

we have

r=3/2=1.5\ in ----> the radius is half the diameter

h=5\ in

assume

\pi =3.14

substitute

SA=(3.14)(1.5)^{2} +2(3.14)(1.5)(5)=54.165\ in^{2}

<em>Find the cost</em>

54.165*(0.75)=\$40.62

step 2

Find the surface area of the square prism

The surface area of the prism is equal to

SA=b^{2} +4bh

we have

b=3\ in

h=5\ in

substitute

SA=(3)^{2} +4(3)(5)=69\ in^{2}

<em>Find the cost</em>

69*(0.75)=\$51.75

step 3

Find the difference of costs

\$51.75-\$40.62=\$11.13
