Answer:
x= 14
Step-by-step explanation:
When the triangles are similar, they should have a similar ratio that makes one side equal to another. In this case, the ratio is 1.5 as 24 divided by 16 is 1.5. Now, taking the side that is "similar" to the x-value which is 21, we divided 21 by 1.5 resulting in x= 14.

Answer: D) 3/150</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
With the use of a calculator, we see that,
- 11/19 = 0.57894736842106...., the decimals eventually repeat; but unfortunately my calculator ran out of room to show the repeating portion
- 4/7 = 0.5714285714285714..., the block "571428" repeats forever
- 1/3 = 0.333333.... the 3s go on forever
- 3/150 = 0.02
So 3/150 converts to the terminating decimal 0.02
The word "terminate" means "stop". In the other decimal values, the decimal digits go on forever repeating the patterns mentioned.
----------------------
A non-calculator approach will have us simplify 3/150 into 1/50 after dividing both parts by the GCF 3. Then notice how 50 has the prime factorization of 2*5*5. The fact that the denominator 50 can be factored in terms of only 2's and 5's is enough evidence to conclude that the fraction converts to a terminating decimal.
If the denominator factors into some other primes, other than 2s and 5s, then we don't have a terminating decimal. So that's why 11/19, 4/7 and 1/3 convert to non-terminating decimals.
Answer:
1. -7.5
2. $1
3. 40
Step-by-step explanation:
For number 1, it can be solved by using the PEMDAS method, or see explanation below:
6x - 4x - 36 = 6 - 2x
2x - 36= -2x + 6
4x + 36 = 6
4x = -30
x = -15/2 or -7.5
For number 2, substitute 3 into both equations:
f(x) =1.50(3) + 2.00
and
f(x) = 2.00(3) + 1.50
This would get $6.50 and $7.50, which, if subtracted, gets $1.
For number 3, do something similar to the previous problem. Substitute 3 for x. It would be 5(2^3), or 40.
Hope this helps!
