8/x = 5/9 solve for x

i gotchu, x = 14.4

8/x = 5/9 (solve for x)

first you'd cross multiply (property of multiplication)

(8)(9) = (5)x

72 = 5x

then you flip your equation (communitive property)

5x = 72

then you need to eliminate five so you'd divide by 5 (inverse operation)

5x/5 72/5

x = 72/5

so x would be 14.4 since 72/5 is 14.4

(or just 14 since if you rounded it your answer would be 14)

REY [17]

Answer:  (2p + 1.5d)  + (5*(2)) = T

Step-by-step explanation: (2p + 1.5d)  + (5*(2)) = T

Since there are no costs, i'll make up my own uwu;

Matinee = $5

Popcorn = $2

Drink = $1.5

T = total

(2p + 1.5d)  + (5*(2)) = T

2p ($2 for each bag of popcorn - p represents popcorn)

1.5d ($1.5 for each drink, - d represents drinks)

5*2 ( 5 * 2 because we are already given the amount of matinee tickets they buy.

givi [52]

Answer:

M: (-7, -3)

A: (0, -3)

T: (0, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

each of the points are associated with a letter. you can find the points by looking at the points it matches up with in the formatting of (x,y)

for example, for M, you can see that the dot on the x axis seems to be hovering below -7, on the y axis, it seems to be hovering next to -3. therefore, its (-7,-3)

Consider randomly selecting a student at a large university. Let A be the event that the selected student has a Visa card, let B
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

P(A) = 0.6, P(B) = 0.4, P(C) = 0.2,

P(A ∩ B) = 0.3, P(A ∩ C) = 0.12, P(B ∩ C) = 0.1 and P(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 0.07,

Where,

A = event that the selected student has a Visa card,  

B = event that the selected student has a MasterCard,  

C = event that the selected student has an American Express card,

We know that,

P(A ∪ B ∪ C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A ∩ B) - P(A ∩ C) - P(B ∩ C) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C)

= 0.6 + 0.4 + 0.2 - 0.3 - 0.12 - 0.1 + 0.07

= 0.75

Hence, the probability that the selected student has at least one of the three types of cards is 0.75.

The sum of two numbers is "-1" One number is 12 more than the other one. Find the numbers.
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x = 5.5

y = - 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers = x

Let the other number = y

x + y = - 1

x = y + 12    Put the second equation into the first one

y + 12 + y = - 1       Subtract 12 from both sides

y + y = - 1 - 12        Combine both left and right sides

2y = - 13                Divide by 2

2y/2 = - 13/1

y = - 6.5

x + y = - 1

x - 6.5 = - 1            Add 6.5 to both sides

x = 5.5
