Et the numerator be x, so the denominator is x + 4. So we have: 

<span>x/(x + 4) = 9/15 (cross multiply) </span>
<span>15x = 9(x + 4) </span>
<span>15x = 9x + 36 </span>
<span>15x </span>- 9x<span> = 9x - </span>9x<span> + 36 </span>
<span>6x = 36 </span>
6x/6<span> = 36</span>/6
x = 6
x + 4<span> = 6 + 4 = </span>10

<span>Sine the numerator is 6 and the denominator is 10, then the fraction is 6/10, which in the simplest form is equal to 3/5. </span>

<span>Since 9/15 in the simplest form is also equal to 3/5, then 6/10 is equivalent to 9/15. </span>

<span>Thus, 6/10 is the required fraction. hope  i helped</span>

\frac{x}{x + 4} = \frac{9}{15}
\frac{x}{x + 4} = \frac{3}{5}
5x = 3(x + 4)
5x = 3(x) + 3(4)
5x = 3x + 12
5x - 3x = 3x - 3x + 12
\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{12}{2}
x = 6

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 1) = 2x - 3 + 3x

3x - 3 = 2x - 3 + 3x

0 - 3 = 2x - 3

0 = 2x

2x = 0

x = 0 ÷ 2

According to the graph, what is the value of the constant in the equation
wolverine [178]

The question is missing the graph. So, it is attached below.

Answer:

(D) 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A graph of height versus width.

The equation given is:

Height = constant × Width

Rewriting in terms of 'constant'. This gives,

\textrm{Constant}=\frac{Height}{Width}------------- (1)  

The width is plotted on the X-axis and the corresponding height is plotted on the Y-axis.

The four points plotted on the line are:

(x, y) = (0.5, 1.6), (1, 3.2), (2, 6.4)\ and\ (3, 9.6).

Now, any point will satisfy equation (1).

Consider the point (0.5, 1.6). So, height = 1.6 and width = 0.5. Therefore,

\textrm{Constant}=\frac{Height}{Width}\\\\\textrm{Constant}=\frac{1.6}{0.5}=3.2

Also, we observe that for all the remaining points,

\dfrac{3.2}{1}=\dfrac{6.4}{2}=\dfrac{9.6}{3}=3.2.

Hence, the value of the constant is 3.2.

Option (D) is correct.

Statistics question! 12 pts
Nataly [62]

Answer – C. the sample size 16 is too small

 

If we toss a coin 16 times in order to test the hypothesis H0: p = 0.5 that the coin is balanced, we can't use the z-test for a proportion in the situations because the sample size 16 is too small. The z-test is best used when the sample size is greater than 30; when the sample size is less than 30, t-test is more appropriate.

A Tourist Information Center is between a Bus Station and a Train Station. When mapped on a grid, the Train Station is located a
galben [10]

Answer:

X = 9 and Y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the midpoint of the coordinates  (13,15) and  (5,1).

Using the midpoint formula;

M(X, Y) = [(x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2]

X = (x1+x2)/2

Y = (y1+y2)/2

From the coordinates, x1 = 13, y1 = 15, x2 = 5 and y2 = 1

X = 13+5/2

X = 18/2

X = 9

Similarly;

Y = 15+1/2

Y = 16/2

Y = 8

Hence The Tourist Information Center is located at point X = 9 and Y = 8
