Hey!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

LCD stands for Lowest Common Denominator.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

So let's say we have the equation 1/9 * 16/27

We want to find the LCD of both fractions. To find the LCD of both fractions find a the lowest common denominator in both fractions.

In this equation the lowest common denominator is 27 because 9 can go in 27 and 27 can go into itself. Se basically 27 is the lowest possibly common denominator both fractions can get to.

Hope This Helped! Good Luck ;)

Find the value of x please and thank you

Given:

In triangle DEF, HG is parallel to DF.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

In triangles DEF and GEH,

$\angle DE F\cong \angle GEH$ (Common angle)

$\angle EDF\cong \angle EGH$ (Corresponding angle)

$\Delta DE F\sim \Delta GEH$ (By AA property of similarity)

We know that corresponding sides of similar triangle are proportional.

$\dfrac{DE}{GE}=\dfrac{DF}{GH}$

$\dfrac{9+(x+5)}{x+5}=\dfrac{12}{6}$

$\dfrac{x+14}{x+5}=2$

$x+14=2(x+5)$

$x+14=2x+10$

Isolating variable terms, we get

$x-2x=-14+10$

$-x=-4$

$x=4$

Therefore, the value of x is equal to 4.

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

For three visits, the electrician earned $40 × 3 = $120 in "per-visit" charges. For working x hours, he earned 20x in "per-hour" charges. The total of these came to 50x:

120 +20x = 50x

120 = 30x . . . . . . . . subtract 20x

4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 30

The electrician worked 4 hours that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

How much is the profit for 1 burrito?: $8 - ($1.50+$1) = $5.5

So, profit for 100 burritos is $5.5 x 100 = $550.
