Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Comparing triangle EGD and triangle ELA
AL/DG = EL/EG
AL = x, DG = 3, EL = 5+5+5+5= 20
EG = 5
x/3 = 20/5
x/3 = 4
x = 3×4
x = 12
Answer:
x = 0, 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out equation
x² - 7x = 0
Step 2: Factor out <em>x</em>
x(x - 7) = 0
Step 3: Find roots
x = 0
x - 7 = 0
x = 7
Answer:
1. 1/2
2. 1
3. 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try! A variable doesn't have to be "x", it could be "y", "w" or any letter, name or symbol
First let's start with the relationship between grams and centigrams and grams and milligrams.
1 gram = 100 centigrams
1 gram = 1000 milligrams
Because these two equations are equal, we can rewrite our equation as 100 centigrams = 1000 milligrams.
Now we divide by 100 to simplify our equation to 1 centigram = 10 milligrams.
With this simplified equation we see that we multiply the number of centigrams by 10 to find the equal number of milligrams.
