Answer:

  x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

You know z = x+4, so ...

  3z -x/2 = 37 . . . . . . . . the given relation

  3(x +4) -x/2 = 37 . . . . substituting for z

  5/2x +12 = 37 . . . . . . .eliminate parentheses and simplify

  5/2x = 25 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12

  x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2/5

_____

<em>Check</em>

3z = 3·14 = 42

x/2 = 10/2 = 5

42 exceeds 5 by 37 . . . . true

harkovskaia [24]
105 m = 2.5 h
 
x miles = 1 hour

You cross multiply since it's a proportion:
2.5 * x
105 * 1

=

2.5x = 105

Then you divide everything by 2.5

1. A test-tube has a diameter of 3cm. How many turns would a piece of thread of length
Alex Ar [27]

So if we think of a test tube, it looks sort of like a cylinder. This means that its cross-section would be a circle. To find out how many turns a piece of thread would make around the test tube, we need to find the circumference of the test tube, then divide the length of the string by the circumference.

Step 1) Find the circumference

C = pi x diameter

C = 3.14 x 3

C = 9.42

Step 2) Divide the length of the string by the circumference

90.42 / 9.42 = 9.5987

The string would make approximately 9.60 turns around the test tube.

Hope this helps!! :)
