Answer:

-3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First represent this with numbers. Less means subtraction -, times means multiplication *, is means equals =.

And let's represent "a number" with x.

63 - 15x = 72

Solve for x. First subtract 63 from both sides.

-15x = 72-63

-15x = 9

x = -9/15 = <u>-3/5</u>

Answer:

-3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be represented as 63 - 15 x X = 72

To further simplify the problem : 63 - 15x = 72

Then you subtract

- 15x = 9

- 3/5

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=2\sqrt{21}\ and\ y=4\sqrt3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

ΔADC and ΔCDB are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

$\dfrac{AD}{CD}=\dfrac{CD}{DB}$

We have

$AD=14-8=6\\CD=y\\DB=8$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{6}{y}=\dfrac{y}{8}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$y^2=(6)(8)$

$y^2=48\to y=\sqrt{48}\\\\y=\sqrt{16\cdot3}\\\\y=\sqrt{16}\ cdot\sqrt3\\\\\boxed{y=4\sqrt3}$

For x use the Pythagorean theorem:

$x^2=6^2+(4\sqrt3)^2\\\\x^2=36+48\\\\x^2=84\to x=\sqrt{84}\\\\x=\sqrt{4\cdot21}\\\\x=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{21}\\\\\boxed{x=2\sqrt{21}}$
