Answer: x=\dfrac{25}{21}

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of parallelogram = Base x height

If two parallelograms are similar, then their corresponding sides are proportional.

That means, \dfrac{\text{Area of first parallleogram}}{\text{Area of second parallleogram}}=\dfrac{\text{height of first parallelogram}}{\text{height of second parallelogram}}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{3x+5}{9x}=\dfrac{16}{20}\Rightarrow \dfrac{3x+5}{9x}=\dfrac{4}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow 5(3x+5)=4(9x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 15x+25 = 36x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 36x-15x=25\\\\\Rightarrow\ 21x = 25\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{25}{21}

Hence, x=\dfrac{25}{21}

10 POINTS IDENTIFY THE SLOPE, Y-INTERCEPT AND GRAPH.<br> 1. Y = 2x + 3<br> 2. Y = 3/4x - 2
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer for problem 1: slope = 2, y intercept = 3

Answer for problem 2: slope = 3/4, y intercept = -2

Explanation:

Both equations are in the form y = mx+b. This is known as slope intercept form. This is because we can read off the values of the slope and y intercept very quickly. We have y = 2x+3 match up with y = mx+b. The m is the slope and b is the y intercept. So m = 2 and b = 3 for this equation. A similar situation happens with the other equation as well. It might help to rewrite the second equation into y = (3/4)x + (-2).

An account earns simple interest. $1800 at 6.5% for 30 months Find the interest earned.
horrorfan [7]
Okay. The formula for simple interest is prt. You multiply the principal (initial amount) by the rate (percentage) by the time (months or years). $1,800 is the principal and 6.5% is the percentage rate. 1,800 * 6.5% (0.065) is 117. You earn $117 in interest annually. The time period is 30 months. There are 12 months in 1 year. Divide the amount of months by 12 to put it in a decimal. 30/12 is 2.5. Now, multiply 117 by 2.5 to find the total amount of interest earned. 117 * 2.5 is 292.5. There. The total amount of interest earned is $292.50.

1m = 100 cm

First sprinter stride is 120 cm. Steps he will take

= 100/1.2 = 83 1/3 steps

Second sprinter takes a stride of 75 cm

= 100/0.75 = 133 1/3 steps
