Percentages are different from fractions and decimals because percents are limited to being per 100, whereas fractions and decimals can be in any place. for example, a fraction can be 1/2 and a decimal can be 3.7265432981. There is no limit to the place for decimals and fractions, but percentages are limited to the hundredths place. I hope that helps :)

Help me with this math question pls!! Find the value of x

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

using the mid segment formula since quadrilateral WZYP is similar to that of MZYT, this is expressed as;

29 = 1/2(23 +11x+2)

Cross multiply

2(29) = 23+11x+2

58 = 25 + 11x

11x = 58 - 25

11x = 33

Divide both sides by 11

11x/11 = 33/11

x = 3

Hence the value of x is 3

If I have an equation in which x = pounds, and y = total cost, can I substitute quarts into the equation

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Yes, you can

Step-by-step explanation:

As a point of reference, assume the equation is:

$y = 5x$

Where

$y = total\ cost$

and

$x = pounds$

In standard unit of conversion:

$1\ pound = 0.4793\ quart$

So:

$x\ pounds = 0.4793x\ quart$

Substitute 0.4793x for x in $y = 5x$

$y = 5 * 0.4793x$

$y = 2.3965x$

The above equation is the equivalent of $y = 5x$ in quarts

<em>So, irrespective of what the equation is, you can always substitute quarts into the equation.</em>
