Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Cross multiply</u>

k/6 = 15/18

k(18) = 6(15)

<em>18k = 90</em>

<u>Step 2:  Divide both sides by 18</u>

18k / 18 = 90 / 18

<em>k = 5</em>

Answer:  k = 5

<u>Another way to do it is to multiply both sides by 6</u>

k/6 * 6 = 15/18 * 6

k = 90 / 18

<em>k = 5</em>

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for <em>k</em> in the given proportion, we use the means-extremes property. The product of the extremes, (k)(18), equals the product of the means, (6)(15).

So we have (k)(18) or 18k = (6)(15) or 90.

Now we have the equation 18k = 90.

Dividing both sides by 18, <em>k = 5</em>.

It's a good idea to check the answer in these types of problems so if we plug a 5 back in for <em>k</em> in the original proportion, we have \frac{(5)}{6}= \frac{15}{18} which is a true statement since 15/18 reduces to 5/6.

PLEASE ANSWER THIS 30 POINTS BRAINLIEST WILL BE GIVEN PICTURE INCLUDED!!

The first step is to quickly factor each of the five equations... to do so, find the right factors of the 3rd given number so that they add up in an equal number to the second number... 14 = -7 • -2 and -9 = -7 + -2


a^2 - 9a + 14 = 0
(a - 7) (a - 2)

a - 7 = 0, a = 7
a - 2 = 0, a = 2

{2,7}



a^2 + 9a + 14 = 0
(a + 7) (a + 2)

a + 7 = 0, a = -7
a + 2 = 0, a = -2

{-2, -7}


a^2 + 3a - 10 = 0
(a + 5) (a - 2)

a + 5 = 0, a = -5
a - 2 = 0, a = 2

{-5, 2}


a^2 - 5a - 14 = 0
(a - 7) (a + 2)
a - 7 = 0, a = 7
a + 2 = 0, a = -2

{-2, 7}
