Answer:

3/4 = 16/x

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the original ratio: 3:4 (a.k.a. 3/4 or 3 to 4)

Because 16 correlates to red paint and 3 correlates to red paint the will be in the same location (as the numerator or denominator).

Also, the amount of blue paint is unknown so that is <u>x</u>. <u>4</u> also represents blue paint, so <u>4</u> and <u>x</u> will also be on the same level (as the numerator of denominator).

Setting up the equation: 3/<u>4</u> = 16/<u>x</u>

Well if she added three blue and four red originally, and is now using 16 red then we would divide 16 by the original four. Which means to get the number of blue we are gonna end up multiplying by four. So three times four is twelve. Which means she would use 12 blue and 16 red to get the same color she got with 3 blue and 4 red earlier. The equation, lets use x for blue and y for red, would be 4(3x + 4y) = desired color

Lets day the original price of the dvd player was $100,
36% marked down means you pay $64x
64x = $41.60
100x = 100/54 x 41.60 = 4160/64 = #65.00 = original cost
similarly, stereo tuners = 100/78 x 69.42 = 6942/78 = $89 original cost
DVD = 65- 41.60 = $ 23. 40 less 
Stereo = 89- 69.42 = $ 19.58 less
Diffrence is $ 3.82
so your answer is the dvd player price was reduced by $3.82 more than the stereo tuner.

What is the solution to the system of equations shown below?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

  b.  (1, 3, ­-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator or scientific calculator can solve this system of equations for you, or you can use any of the usual methods: elimination, substitution, matrix methods, Cramer's rule.

It can also work well to try the offered choices in the given equations. Sometimes, it can work best to choose an equation other than the first one for this. The last equation here seems a good one for eliminating bad answers:

  a: -1 -5(1) +2(-4) = -14 ≠ -18

  b: 1 -5(3) +2(-2) = -18 . . . . potential choice

  c: 3 -5(8) +2(1) = -35 ≠ -18

  d: 2 -5(-3) +2(0) = 17 ≠ -18

This shows choice B as the only viable option. Further checking can be done to make sure that solution works in the other equations:

  2(1) +(3) -3(-2) = 11 . . . . choice B works in equation 1

  -(1) +2(3) +4(-2) = -3 . . . choice B works in equation 2

Calculate the area of the given quadrilaterals.​
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

dissect the trapezium into a square and triangle. since the triangle is a right angled one the base is 17-7=10cm

the height is found using Pythagorean theorem to be 24cm i.e 26²=x²+10²,x=√(676-100),x=√576,x=24cn

area of trapezium is (1/2)(a+b)h

a is the shorter side and b the longer side

(1/2)*(7+17)24

=288cm²
