Find the length of x.​

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer

x = 7.5

Explanation

This is a case of similar triangles.
Similar triangles have bigger triangles which have sides which are multiples of smaller triangles sides.


We know that the adjacent side of the bigger triangle is 6 and for the smaller triangle it’s 4 so the constant factor by which the sides of the small triangle are multiplied to obtain the sides of the large triangle is

6/4 = 3/2

Since we know the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle is 5.

Multiply this by 3/2 to get the hypotenuse of the bigger triangle

3/2 • 5 = 7.5

Solve the system of equations and choose the correct ordered pair. 3x-2y=12 and 6x+3y=21
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Solution ( \frac{26}{7} ,  \frac{-3}{7})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  :  3x - 2y = 12 and 6x + 3y = 21.

To find : Solve the system of equations and choose the correct ordered pair.

Solution : We have given

3x - 2y = 12 -------(1)

6x + 3y = 21-------(2)

Multiplying the equation(1) by 2 , it become.

6x - 4y = 24 .

Now subtract it from equation (2).

6x + 3y = 21

(-)6x - (+)4y = (-)24 .

____________

0 + 7y = -3.

On dividing both sides by 7.

y = \frac{-3}{7}.

Plug the y = \frac{-3}{7} in equation 2 .

 6x  + 3*\frac{-3}{7} = 21

6x + \frac{-9}{7}  = 21.

On multiplying both sides by 7

42x  -9 = 21 *7 .

42x  -9 = 147 .

On adding both sides by 9

42x = 147 + 9 .

42x = 156.

On dividing both sides by 42.

x = \frac{156}{42}.

x = \frac{26}{7}.

Therefore, Solution ( \frac{26}{7} ,  \frac{-3}{7})

Describe what happens to the exponential function when the value of "k" is<br> positive. *
Schach [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:It isn’t. There are really 4 different versions of the exponential function. Positive (like the growth of money invested at 5%), negative (like the US debt constantly becoming more negative), positive decay (like the half life of a radioactive element), or negative decay ( pay half your loan amount in year 1, 1/4 in year two, 1/8 in year three, you in theory will never pay your loan completely but the debt is growing closer to zero.

Target sells 24 bottles of water for $3, and 36 bottles of water for $4. Which is the better buy and by how much?
goblinko [34]
I would say 36 bottles for $4 by 1.4 cent because you get more bottle of waters and it doesn't cost that much money for a bottle of water
