Given the proportion 8/5 = 2/m-3 what is the value of m

Mathematics

Hey there! :)

Answer:

m = 4.25, or 17/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the proportion:

\frac{8}{5}= \frac{2}{m-3}

Cross multiply:

8(m - 3) = 5 · 2

Distribute the 8:

8m - 8(3) = 10

8m - 24 = 10

Add 24 to both sides:

8m = 34

Divide both sides by 8:

8m/8 = 34/8

m = 4.25, or 17/4.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Domain= [0,18], Range = [0,31.50]

Step-by-step explanation:

If Charlie will only go to a single ride one time the possible rides he could go on would be 0 rides to all 18 rides for a domain of [0,18]. The output of the maximum and minimum x values would give us 0 dollars for riding 0 rides and 31.50 for riding all 18 (1.75 *0 = 0) and (1.75*18 = 31.50) so the range is [0, 31.50]

1. The largest of 2 integers is one more than
Aleks [24]

The larger integer is 28.

I'm first going to call these 2 integers n and m, where n is the larger and m is the smaller. We can now write equations based on the information they gave us:

(equation 1) n + m = 37, which tells us that the sum of the integers is 37

(equation 2) n = 3m + 1, which tells us that the larger integer is one more than 3 times the smaller.

Now we can simultaneously solve these equations, and I'm going to do this by substituting in equation 2 into equation 1:

n + m = 37

(3m + 1) + m = 37

4m + 1 = 37

- 1

4m = 364

÷ 4

m = 9

Now that we know the smaller integer is 9, we can find the larger by using equation 1:

n + m = 37

n + 9 = 37

- 9

n = 28

I hope this helps!
