Answer:

The value of x is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let B be between A and C.

AB = 3x + 5

BC = 5x - 1

AC = 36

To Find:

x=?

Solution:

B be between A and C as shown in Figure

A-B-C such that

AC=AB+BC           ...........Line Addition Property

Substituting the given values we get

36=3x+5+5x-1=8x+4\\\\\therefore 8x=36-4=32\\\\\therefore x=\dfrac{32}{8}=4\\\\\therefore x=4

The value of x is 4.

For what value of c is the relation a function (2,8),(12,3),(c,4),(-1,8),(0,3)
Fittoniya [83]
The value of c is { c | c ∈ R, c ∉ {-1,0,2,12} }.
c is a number such that it is not in the set {-1,0,2,12} else we end up with a domain value having multiple range values, contradicting with the definition of a function.

To celebrate her birthday, Whitney wants to take her friends adventuring in a 4WD vehicle from All Terrain Tours.
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Whitney can bring <u>6 friends.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why is this:

Whitney is bringing 400 pounds of things plus <u>her own body weight! </u>

400 + 165 = 565 pounds

Now we add on Whitneys freinds which is <u>165 (their body weight) + the 10 pounds of gear which equals 175 pounds. So each friend would be 175 pounds total weight. </u>

175 x 6 = 1,050 pounds

If we add on Whitneys total weight thats:

565 + 1,050 = 1,615

<u>Adding on another friend would be 1,790 pounds which would be over the weight limit for the vehicle. </u>

Hence, Whitney can bring along 6 friends for her birthday.

<em>Hope this helped! :)</em>

At a family reunion, each of Sana aunts and uncles is getting photographed once, The aunts are taking pictures in groups of5 and
yaroslaw [1]

This question is based on least common multiple method.

As given in the question,

Aunts are taking pictures in group of = 5

Uncles are taking pictures in group of = 10

So we have been asked what is the minimum number of aunts Sana have.

As we have been given that the number of aunts and uncles is equal so to find the minimum number of aunts we will apply the least common multiple method.

So we get LCM of 5,10 as 10

Hence there are minimum 10 aunts.

If a man were to sell his T.V set for 7200, he would have lost 25%. For what price must he sell it to​
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

S.P of a t.v = rs 7200

Loss % = 25%

Therefore, C.P = S.P (100/100-loss)

=7200(100/100-25)

=7200 x 100/75

=9600

So,now C.P = 9600

Profit% = 25%

Therefore, S.P = C.P (100+profit/100)

=9600(100+25/100)

=9600 x 125/100

=12000

So,the price he should sell to gain 25%

=12000

Hope it helps...!!!
