Maybe i have that you wanted We can represent the situation like that: Y=-15 and x=-20 Then When y=12 x=? We make x(The unknown) *-15=12*(-20) We have an simple équation to solve Thus x=(12*(-20))/-15 X=16

X1= -20
x2= x2
y1= -15
y2= 12

x1  : x2 ::  y1 : y2
-20 : x   :: -15: 12

Means = x and -15
Extremes= -20 and 12

<span>Product of mean = Product of extremes
</span>       -15x = -20*12
            x = -240/-15
            x2 = 16

How do I go about to understand the problem
raketka [301]
You just have to multiply the numerators and the denominators.
The answer is 14 over 56. Then, you need to simplify the question.
So, since 56 is divisible by 14, divide the numerator and the denominator by 14.
Then you get your answer, which is one-fourth.
Hope that helped!

Solve the following equation for x: 5x + 3y = 15.
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

x = negative three fifthsy + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = 15

Subtract 3y from both the sides,

5x = 15 - 3y

Divide by 5 on both sides,

x = -3y/5 + 15/5

x = -3y/5 + 3

5. The length of a rectangular swimming pool is 50 yards, and the width of the pool is 16
d1i1m1o1n [39]
The answer is C. I got this by doing a^2 + b^2= c^2. 50^2 + 16^2=c^2, 2500 + 256 = c^2, 2756 = c^2, then you take the square root of 2756 and that gives you your answer 52.50 yards. Hope this helps :D
