Answer:
<em>C. 15</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that these segments formed from each parallel line are proportional, x/5 = x-6/3.
Now cross multiply by multiplying each denominator by the opposite numerator, this is so the denominators or bottom numbers of each fraction will cancel.
x/5 = x–6/3 → (3)(x/5) = (3)(x–6/3) → 3x/5 = x–6 →
(5)(3x/5) = (5)(x–6) → 3x = 5(x–6) → 3x = 5x – 30.
The last step is to do the basic algebra to find x:
3x = 5x – 30
–5x –5x
[5x will cancel when you subtract both sides by 5x]
-2x = -30
(-1) (-1)
[2 negatives make a positive when -1 is multiplied by an expression with a negative coefficient]
2x = 30
÷2 ÷2
[divide both sides by 2 to simplify 2x to x]
x = 15
_____
You can also check that both sides are proportional because
5 → x
x = 15
5 → 15
3 → x – 6
x = 15
3 → 9
5 × <u>3</u> = 15
3 × <u>3</u> = 9
Answer:

Answer:
0.0000046
Answer:
The Distributive Property.
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x - 1) = 12
When distributing out the 4, it must go to all the terms within the brackets like this:
4x - 4 = 12.
4x = 16
x = 4.
Answer:
900
Step-by-step explanation:
10% de 9000 es 900
Trabajando el 10% de 9000
Escribe 10% como 10100
Dado que, encontrar la fracción de un número es lo mismo que multiplicar la fracción por el número, tenemos
10100 de 9000 = 10100 × 9000
Por tanto, la respuesta es 900
Si está utilizando una calculadora, simplemente ingrese 10 ÷ 100 × 9000, lo que le dará 900 como respuesta.
