Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required common multiplier of the given ratios be x.

Therefore, the required numbers are 5x and 7x.

According to the given information:

5x + 7x = 96

12x = 96

x = 96/12

x = 8

7x = 7*8 = 56

Thus, the largest number is 56.

  • $24000 at 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

In rectangle KLMN, KM =6x +16 and LN =49. Find the value of X
wolverine [178]
The answer is 5.5

In a rectangle, lengths of diagonals are equal. If you draw the rectangle, you can see that KM and LN are diagonals, so they must be equal:
KM = LN

KM = 6x + 16
LN = 49

6x + 16 = 49
6x = 49 - 16
6x = 33
x = 33/6
x = 5.5

If 5(3x-7)=20, then what is 6x-8 ?
Colt1911 [192]
First solve for x in the first equation. So you'll have to substitute,
5(3x-7)=20
15x-35=20
Then add 35 to both sides.
15x=55
Divide 55 by 15.
So x = 3.66...
Then plug in 3.7 for x in 6x-8
6(3.7)-8
Its approximately 14.2
