Hi!

Let's write the equation in number form first.

7 over 8
7/8

minus 1
7/8 - 1

over x
7/8 - 1/x

equals 3
7/8 - 1/x = 3

over 4
7/8 - 1/x = 3/4

Now to find the value, let's put each option as the value for x.

A. x = 1
7/8 - 1/1 = 3/4
7/8 - 1 = 3/4
0.875 - 1 = 0.75
-0.125 = 0.75
This is wrong.

B. x = 2
7/8 - 1/2 = 3/4
7/8 - 0.5 = 3/4
0.875 - 0.5 = 0.75
0.375 = 0.75
This is wrong.

C. x = 4
7/8 - 1/4 = 3/4
7/8 - 0.25 = 3/4
0.875 - 0.25 = 0.75
0.625 = 0.75
This is wrong.

D. x = 8
7/8 - 1/8 = 3/4
7/8 - 0.125 = 3/4
0.875 - 0.125 = 0.75
0.75 = 0.75
This is correct!

The answer is d. x = 8

Hope this helps! :)

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

m

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the value of x

we know that

In an inscribed quadrilateral the opposites angles are supplementary

so

In this problem

m

substitute the values and solve for x

(2x-7)+(x+4)=180\°

3x-3=180\°

3x=183\°

x=183\°/3=61\°

step 2

Find the measure of angle B

m

substitute the value of x

Use the relationship between the angles in the figure to answer the question.
grigory [225]

Answer:

x = 52, A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles across from each other are both acute angles, which means that considering their positioning, they're gonna equal the same in degrees. If the question were asking to find the value of x on one of the obtuse angles, your answer would be B, considering both of those lines would equal 180 degrees.

Hope that helps!

n an orchid show, seven orchids are to be placed along one side of the greenhouse. of the orchids, we see that the number of lin
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

7 orchids can be lined as 7!. This means that for the first orchid of the line, you can select 7 options. When you place the first orchid, for the second option you can select among 6 since 1 orchid has already been placed. Similarly, for the 3rd orchid of  the line, you have left 5 options. The sequence goes in this fashion and for 7 orchids, you have 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 possibilities. However, there is a restriction here. 3 of the orchids are white and 4 are levender. This means that it does not make a difference if we line 3 white orchids in an arbitrary order since it will seem the same from the outside. As a result, the options for lining the 7 orchids diminish. The reduction should eliminate the number of different lining within the same colors. Similar to 7! explanation above, 3 white orchids can be lined as 3! and 4 levender orchids can be lined as 4!. To eliminate these options, we  divide all options by the restrictions. The result is:

\frac{7!}{4!*3!} = 35. [(7*6*5*4*3*2*1/(4*3*2*1*3*2*1)]

If y= (2x^2+x)^3 +(x-1) /(1-x). find dy dx​
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=(2x²+x)³+(x-1)/(1-x)

=(2x²+x)³+(x-1)/-(x-1)

=(2x²+x)³-1

dy/dx=3(2x²+x)(4x+1)-0

=3x(2x+1)(4x+1)
