Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion. The numbers are in a ratio of 2 to 3, and the smaller number is 18, while the larger number is unknown. We can call it x.

smaller/larger=smaller/larger

2/3=18/x

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second. Then, multiply the numerator of the second by the denominator of the first.

2*x=3*18

2x=54

We want to find out what x is. We have to get x isolated. Currently, x is being multiplied by 2. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2=54/2

x=54/2

x=27

The larger number is 27.

My mom walks 1 mile in 14<br> minutes. If she walked for 56<br> minutes, how far did she walk?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

4 miles

Step-by-step explanation

If your mom can walk 1 mile in 14 minutes then 2 miles would take her 28 minutes 3 miles would take her 42 minutes and finally if she walked 4 miles it would take her 56 minutes.

14 + 14 + 14 + 14 = 56

14 x 4 = 56

Amy is helping plan her school's new basketball court. The west edge of the basketball court is located on the line y = 2x + 5.
ipn [44]

Answer:

Line of east wedge is: 2x - y = 96

So, Option 1 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The east edge cannot intersect with the west edge means that two lines are parallel.

If the two lines are parallel then they have same slope. We need to find the slopes of given lines and check which line has slope same as slope of west edge.

Slope of west edge.

y = 2x + 5

The standard equation for slope intercept form is:

y = mx+b

where m is the slope. So, m= 2

Now finding line for east edge.

Option 1.

Convert each given equation to standard slope intercept form and find the slope.

2x -y =96

-y = -2x +96

Multiply with -1

y = 2x -96

m = 2

Option 2.

-2x -y = 96

-y = 2x +96

y = -2x-96

m = -2

Option 3

-y-2x =48

-y = 2x +48

y = -2x -48

m = -2

Option 4.

y+2x = 48

y = -2x+48

m = -2

So, only line of Option 1 has slope = 2 which is equal to the slope of west edge.

Line of east wedge is: 2x - y = 96

So, Option 1 is correct.
