What is the answer to the equation: 6/4=15/x ?

1 answer:

7 0

To be able to find the value of X, we have to cross multiply the two fractions then solve the equation.
As so,

6/4 = 15/x

Cross Multiply:

6 x X = 6x
4 x 15 = 60

We cross multiplied, now we can set up the equation:

6x = 60

Simplify: (Get X by itself)

Divide 6 on each side

6 / 6x = 60 / 6
x = 60 / 6
x = 10

Now we have the total of X! To check our answer, we can substitute X for 10 in the original equation.
As so:

6/4 = 15/10

6/4 = 1.5
15/10 = 1.5

Correct! Our answer is X = 10!

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-

levacccp [35]

The picture attached has the table that repfesents the linear function to find the equation.

Answer:

y = 10x - 6

Explanation:

A linear function is characterized by a constant slope and a unique y-intercept.

Let m be the slope and b the y-intercept of a linear function. Then, slope-intercept equation has the form:

y = mx + b.

Using any two pair of points (x,y) from the table you can determine the values of m and b.

The table is:

x 0 1 2 3 4

y -6 4 14 24 34

You know that it is a linear function because for constant increases of the x-values (1 unit in the table) there is a constant increase of the y-values (10 in the table).

The slope, m, is calculated as:
