<span>What is the value of x in the proportion x + 1 / x+3 = 15/ 21
a.4
b.1/3
c.1/4
d.3</span>
the answer is
a.) 4
5x + y = 15
y = -5x + 15
Substituting y= -5x+15 from first equation into second equation:
3x + 2y = 16
3x + 2·(-5x + 15) = 16
3x - 10x + 30 = 16
-7x + 30 = 16
7x = 30 - 16 = 14
x = 2
Substituting x=2 into the first equation:
5x + y = 15
5(2) + y = 15
10 + y = 15
y = 15 - 10
y = 5
So your final answers are x=2 and y=5.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Each ice cream cone costs 4 quarters or 10 dimes, so Simon has ...
20/4 + 12/10 = 5 + 1.2 = 6.2
times the price of an ice cream cone. He can buy 6 cones for his friends.
2x-5=95 due to the alternate interior angles thm so you just add 5 to 95 to get 2x=100 then divide by 2 to get x=50!
