Answer:
x=4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
5/15=x/ x+8
Step 1: Cross-multiply.
5/15=x/ x+8
5*(x+8)=x*(15)
5x+40=15x
Step 2: Subtract 15x from both sides.
5x+40−15x=15x−15x
−10x+40=0
Step 3: Subtract 40 from both sides.
−10x+40−40=0−40
−10x=−40
Step 4: Divide both sides by -10.
−10x−10=−40−10
Then your answer will be x=4.
40 cm.
let the length of the first part be 3x, second part be 4x, third part be 5x.
where x is a positive length in cm.
why 3x,4x and 5x ?
so that the ratio of lengths of the 3 parts be 3:4:5.
total length of the stick = 3x + 4x + 5x = 12x=96cm
so x=96/12 = 8cm
therefore the largest part of the stick (5x)= 5*8 =40cm
Let us first find how much he is spending every year, to do this let's find his monthly expense and multiply it by 12.
Every month Cameron spends 1040 + 980 + 120 = 2140
To find out how much he spends yearly, multiply the monthly value by 12,
2140 x 12 = 25680
This value is more than his net income so he clearly has a surplus, but to check we can subtract 129 from every month to get:
(1040 + 980 + 120 - 129) = 2011
2011 x 12 = 24132, which shows that his budget is saving 129 surplus every month. Choice B is correct.
Answer:
B. {16, 19, 20}
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>triangle inequality</em> requires for any sides a, b, c you must have ...
a + b > c
b + c > a
c + a > b
The net result of those requirements are ...
- the sum of the two shortest sides must be greater than the longest side
- the length of the third side lies between the difference and sum of the other two sides
__
If we look at the offered side length choices, we see ...
A: 8+11 = 19 . . . not > 19; not a triangle
B: 16+19 = 35 > 20; could be a triangle
C: 3+4 = 7 . . . not > 8; not a triangle
D: 5+5 = 10 . . . not > 11; not a triangle
The side lengths {16, 19, 20} could represent the sides of a triangle.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The version of triangle inequality shown above ensures that a triangle will have non-zero area.
The alternative version of the triangle inequality uses ≥ instead of >. Triangles where a+b=c will look like a line segment--they will have zero area. Many authors disallow this case. (If it were allowed, then {8, 11, 19} would also be a "triangle.")
12*2=24
24*3=72
72*4=288
n*(x+1)
288*(4+1)
288*5=1440
