Answer:
2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The lower number will always be on the right side unless its negative numbers , So the lower number is 2.25 , Why it isn't 1.26 is because its much far from 2.26 and so cannot be counted . Thanks
Answer:
x=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
7x2-x=7
7x2=14.
14-x=7
When you finished the last step, you will subtract 14 to both sides.
14-x=7
14-14-x=7-14
this will cancel out the 14 on the left.
And will leave you with:
-x=7-14
7-14 is -7.
and this will get you to
-x=-7
To finish this off, you have to turn the negative x/variable, into a positive x/variable.
So, you will divide both sides of the equation by the same term.
-x = -7
into
and it will be -7.
I hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 2 similar triangles : ABE and DCE
that means they have the same angles, and the scaling factor from one triangle to the other is the same for every side.
and that means that
DE/AE = EC/BE (= DC/AB)
we know that
AE = AD + DE
BE = BC + EC
a.
so, we have actually
DE/(AD+DE) = EC/(BC+EC)
DE/(10+DE) = 8/(2+8) = 8/10 = 4/5
DE = 4(10+DE)/5
5DE = 4(10+DE) = 40 + 4DE
DE = 40 cm
b.
AD/DE = 3/5
BC/EC must be 3/5 too.
15/EC = 3/5
15 = 3EC/5
75 = 3EC
EC = 25 cm
Answer: the rate uphill is 6 mph.
The rate downhill is 10 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the rate at which the jogger ran uphill.
The jogger runs 4 miles per hour faster downhill than uphill. This means that speed at which the jogger ran downhill is (x + 4) mph
Time = distance/speed
if the jogger can runs 5 miles downhill, then the time taken to run downhill is
5/(x + 4)
At the same time, the jogger runs 3 miles uphill. It means that the time taken to run uphill is
3/x
Since the time is the same, it means that
5/(x + 4) = 3/x
Cross multiplying, it becomes
5 × x = 3(x + 4)
5x = 3x + 12
5x - 3x = 12
2x = 12
x = 12/2
x = 6
The rate downhill is 6 + 4 = 10 mph
