Solve for x. −18 = −2/3 x

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate x, we can multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction (-3/2). We do the same to the -18.

Through cross-multiplication, -18/1 x -3/2 simplifies into -9/1 x -3/1 (because 2 goes into 2 once and 2 goes into -18 -9 times).

-9 x -3 = 27; therefore, x = 27

Answer:

X= 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Muliply by the reciprocal to get rid of the fraction on the right.

(-3/2)-18=(-2/3)(-3/2)x

Simplify by multiplying the fractions. The left makes 54/2 and the right makes x because the reciprocals cancel each other out.

54/2=x

Simplify your fraction by dividing 54 by 2

27=x

Umnica [9.8K]

Max

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucas played 2 Rodeo Racing:8 Polar pinball = 1:4 (Divide by 2)

Max played 3 Rodeo Racing:9 Polar pinball = 1:3 (Divide by 3)

1:3 is greater than 1:4 so this proves that Max has played the greater ration of Rodeo Racing to Polar Pinball.

Describe the possible side lengths of the 3rd side of the triangle given the lengths of the 2 other sides?
Sindrei [870]
Heya !

Using a theoram about triangles ,

Given a triangle ∆ABC, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of the triangle is greater than the length of the third side ,

Also , the length of third side always greater than absolute difference of the other two sides ,

Let the third side be x ,

So , x < 9 + 8 and x > 9 - 8
x < 17 and x > 1

Hence , x ∈ [ 2 , 17 ] inch.

Above case is true for any triangle , be it scalene , Isosceles , Right-angled ...

As , for Isosceles , the third side can be 8 or 9 inches ,
For scalene , all values in the above range satusfies ,

For right angled triangle , we have 2 cases ,

Case 1 : Third side is the hypotenuse
Then , x = √(9²+8²) = √145 = 12.0415 inch.

Case 2 : Third side is not the hypotenuse
Then , x = √(9²-8²) = √17 = 4.1231 inch.

Hope it helps you ! :)
