Answer: Depends on the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

In most situations, the smaller number is on the right or left depending on what order you are putting the ratio in. For example: I have 8 oranges and 2 apples --> if I want to find the ratio of apples to oranges then the ratio is 2:8 or 1:4 (simplified), on the other hand, if I want to find the ratio of oranges to apples the ratio would be 8:2 or 4:1 simplified. In summary, it depends on what order the question wants you to answer in.

In parallelogram ABCD measure angle A=(2x) and measure angle B=(5x+5). what are the measures of the angles of the parallelogram

iragen [17]

Opposite angles are equal, so we know that C=2x and D=5x+5 as well.

The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is 360, so we have

$2(2x+5x+5)=2(7x+5)=360 \iff 7x+5=180 \iff 7x=175 \iff x=25$

So, the measures of the angles are

$2x=50,\quad 5x+5=130$

When does a compound inequality with OR have a solution that is the entire number line? Can the solution be bounded to one side?

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Concept: Algebraic Analysis

$\geqslant \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \leqslant$
Those two symbols indicate one solution
$< \: \: \: \: \: \: \: >$
Those symbols indicate a range of values
$x < 15 < x$
Indicates two bounded answers
In an inequality there is always a solution

Answer:

Second option is the right choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the second equation by -5 and you'll get the equation same as first equation.

$\frac{5x}{-5}-\frac{20y}{-5}=\frac{-5}{-5}\:\:\:\rightarrow \:\:\:-x+4y=1$

So, it has infinite many solutions.

Solve for xxx: -\dfrac{5}{6}x=-\dfrac{10}{3}− 6 5 x=− 3 10 minus, start fraction, 5, divided by, 6, end fraction, x, equals,

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The value of $x$ is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$-\frac{5}{6}x=-\frac{10}{3}$

We have to solve for x.

Solution:

$-\frac{5}{6}x=-\frac{10}{3}$

Now by using Multiplication property of equality we will Multiply both by -6 we get;

$(-\frac{5}{6}x)\times(-6)=(-\frac{10}{3})\times(-6)\\\\5x =20$

Now by using Division property of equality we will divide both by 5 we get;

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{20}{5}\\\\x=4$

Hence The value of $x$ is 4.
