Answer:

x=5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

k=4/5

3 and 5 can go into 15

10/15 and 12/15

10/15 divided by x =12/15

x=5/6

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is $\frac{y}{x}=k$

Solve the equation for x

Cross multiplying, we get

$y=xk$

Divide both sides by k

$x=\frac{y}{k}$

Substituting the given values of y and k

$x=\frac{2/3}{4/5}$

Flip the denominator

$x=\frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{5}{4}\\\\x=\frac{5}{6}$

Thus, the value of x is 5/6

Which person has the highest hourly wage? How do you know?

Inga [223]

Answer:

Savannah

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the unit rate of all of the tables by dividing the values so that you know how much they earn per hour (ex. for Greg, the ratio is 3hours:$27 so divide all values by 3 to get 1hour:$9).

2. Compare all of the unit rate values (Savannah: $9.50 per hour, Greg: $9 per hour, and Kevin: $8.25 per hour).

Evaluate the integral. (Assume a ≠ b. Remember to use absolute values where appropriate. Use C for the constant of integration.)

Bess [88]

Answer:

F(x)= 5*[ $\frac{x^{3} }{3}$ + (a*b)* $\frac{x^{2} }{2}$ + a*b*x + C.

Step-by-step explanation:

First step we aplicate distributive property to the function.

5*(x+a)*(x+b)= 5*[ $x^{2}$ +x*b+a*x+a*b]

5*[ $x^{2}$ +x*(b+a)+a*b]= f(x), where a, b are constant and a≠b

integrating we find ⇒∫f(x)*dx= F(x) + C, where C= integration´s constant

∫^5*[ $x^{2}$ +x*(a+b)+a*b]*dx, apply integral´s property

5*[∫ $x^{2}$ dx+∫(a*b)*x*dx + ∫a*b*dx], resolving the integrals

5*[ $\frac{x^{3} }{3}$ + (a*b)* $\frac{x^{2} }{2}$ + a*b*x

Finally we can write the function F(x)

F(x)= 5*[ $\frac{x^{3} }{3}$ + (a*b)* $\frac{x^{2} }{2}$ + a*b*x ]+ C.

(4x-4)+(3x-2)+(2x+6)=180

Ahat [919]

Answer:

x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x−4+3x−2+2x+6=180

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x−4+3x−2+2x+6=180

4x+−4+3x+−2+2x+6=180

(4x+3x+2x)+(−4+−2+6)=180(Combine Like Terms)

9x=180

Step 2: Divide both sides by 9.

180
