Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Identify the similar triangles</em>

Triangle DQC and triangle DBR are similar

<em>Step 2: Identify the parallel lines</em>

QC is parallel to BR

<em>Step 3: Find x</em>

DQ/QB = DC/CR

40/24 = x/15

x = 25

Answer: x=25

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the value of "x", you can set up de following proportion:

\frac{BQ+QD}{QD}=\frac{RC+CD}{CD}\\\\\frac{24+40}{40}=\frac{15+x}{x}

Now, the final step is to solve for "x" to find its value.

Therefore, its value is the following:

1.6=\frac{15+x}{x}\\\\1.6x=x+15\\\\1.6x-x=15\\\\0.6x=15\\\\x=\frac{15}{0.6}\\\\x=25

A fruit punch recipe that serves 20 people calls for 32 fluid ounces of pineapple juice and 48 fluid ounces of orange juice. Mon
Hoochie [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

so the ratio of the recipe is 32/48 of pineapple juice and orange juice.

that can be simplified to the ratio of 2/3.

now, she has only 20 floz of pineapple juice.

20/x = 2/3

60/x = 2

60 = 2x

x = 60/2 = 30

she needs 30 floz of orange juice with the 20 floz of pineapple juice to maintain the prescribed ratio for fruit punch.

The two linear equations in two variable is:

12 x + 3 y = 40

7 x - 4 y = 38

(a) For a system of equations in two Variable

a x + by = c

p x + q y = r

It will have unique solution , when

\frac{a}{p}\neq \frac{b}{q}\neq\frac{c}{r}

As, you can see  that in the two equation Provided above

\frac{12}{7}\neq \frac{3}{-4}\neq \frac{40}{38}

So, we can say the system of equation given here has unique solution.

(b). If point (2.5, -3.4) satisfies both the equations, then it will be solution of the system of equation, otherwise not.

1. 12 x+3 y=40

2. 7 x-4 y=38

Substituting , x= 2.5 , and y= -3.4 in equation (1) and (2),

L.H.S of Equation (1)= 1 2 × 2.5 + 3 × (-3.4)

                             = 30 -10.20

                               = 19.80≠ R.H.S that is 40.

Similarly, L H S of equation (2)= 7 × (2.5) - 4 × (-3.4)

                                                  = 17.5 +13.6

                                                  = 31.1≠R HS that is 38

So, you can Write with 100 % confidence that point (2.5, -3.4) is not a solution of  this system of the equation.
