Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by setting up a ratio comparing the small triangle to the large triangle. Remember, combine the values of the parts of the sides given to find the total lengths of the sides:

2x + x + 5 = 3x + 5

4 + 3 = 7

Now, we can set up a ratio:

\frac{x+5}{4}=\frac{3x+5}{7}

Cross multiply:

7(x + 5) = 4(3x + 5)

Distribute:

7x + 35 = 12x + 20

Subtract 7x from both sides:

35 = 5x + 20

Subtract 20 from both sides:

15 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 3.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: You can find the value of x with a little knowledge about proportions between similar polygons. The sides with lengths relative to x are similar to each other meaning that you can use the proportion: x/3x+5 = 4/7 solve for x by cross multiplying and you will get the value of x.

A school has 63% percent girls and 37%, percent boys. If 23%, percent of the girls wears contacts and 42%, percent of the boys w
Degger [83]

Answer:

30% students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of total students of a school.

63% are girls then total number of girls = (0.63)x

37% are boys then total number of boys = ( 0.37)x

Now 23% of girls wear contacts then total number of girls

= (0.63x) × 0.23

=  (0.1449x)

And 42% of boys wear contacts then total number of boys wearing contacts

= (0.37x) ( 0.42)

= (0.1554)x

Total students wears contacts = ( 0.1449x) + (0.1554x)

                                                  = (0.3003x)

Percentage of students wear contacts = \frac{\text{total students wear contacts}}{\text{total students in school}} × 100

= \frac{0.03003x}{x} × 100

= 30%

All 30% students wear contacts.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x²-6x)+(y²+8y)=-21

(x²-6x+9)+(y²+8y+16)=-21+9+16

(x-3)²+(y+4)²=4

center=(3,-4),radius=√4=2

B is the midpoint of AC. If AB = x + 5 and AC = 3x - 6, find BC.
Bas_tet [7]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that at AB is halfway across our line. We see that AC is the total line.

So, to find the other half, we have to subtract AB from AC, which will give us the value of BC.

We first will subtract our x values.

3x-x=2x

And then we subtract our numbers.

-6-5=-11

So, BC is 2x-11.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
