6)x-7+10 7)3+x+1 8)8x-16 9)x/2-9
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Making denominator same in first bracket we get


Dividing 6 by 3 we get 2

using distributive law

Hence this is our answer
<u>Given</u>:
The given triangle is a similar triangle.
The length of the hypotenuse is 18 units.
The length of the leg is a.
The length of the part of the hypotenuse is 16 units.
We need to determine the proportion used to find the value of a.
<u>Proportion to find the value of a:</u>
We shall find the proportion to determine the value of a using the geometric mean leg rule.
Applying the leg rule, we have;

Substituting the values of hypotenuse, leg and part, we get;

Thus, the proportion used to find the value of a is 
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
Answer:
13 pears in the 21st bag
Step-by-step explanation:
mean = total number of pears/total number of bags
8 = x/21
x = 168
number of pears in 20 bags = (6 x 2) + (7 x 6) + (8 x 9) + (9 x 1) + (10 x 2)
= 155
number of pears in the 21st bag = 168 - 155
= 13
