Cindy claims that if there is a variable is in the denominator, the equation three over x plus one over three equals five over s

ix becomes unsolvable. Cindy explains, "There is a value for x that makes the denominator zero, and you can't divide by zero." Demonstrate to Cindy how the equation is still solvable and show all work for full credit.

x = 6

given \frac{3}{x} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6}

to eliminate the fractions multiply through by the lowest common multiple of x, 3 and 6 , that is 6x

multiply all terms by 6x gives

18 + 2x = 5x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

18 = 3x ( divide both sides by 3 )

6 = x

As a check

\frac{3}{6} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5}{6}

Answer: I don’t know if you want the area or just y but anyways, y= 9

Step-by-step explanation:


The question requires a scale factor (since both triangles have similar sides (an equal ratio is a good way to think about it) the 10cm side of the large triangle is proportionate to the same side of the smaller triangle.

In other words to get that scale factor (how much one shape is bigger than the other) we need to divide the 10 by 4 (you need to use the same side you can’t do 10/6 because they are completely different sides) 10/4 = 2.5

Now we know the larger triangle is 2.5 times bigger than the smaller triangle. This means the smaller triangle is 2.5 times smaller than the big triangle. So to find the base of the larger triangle we use a similar method we used to find the scale factor (but not divide multiply because when you want to find the bigger you multiply when you want to find scale factor/ smaller you divide) so 6* 2.5= 15 and since y is not the entire base only a part of it, we can do 15(which is the entire length of the big triangle base) - 6 = 9

Therefore y=9

Solve for x..................
Yanka [14]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x+131)° and (5x+19)° are supplementary. Therefore, (5x+19)° + (5x+131)° equals to 180°.

Knowing that, we can do the following:

  • (5x+19) + (5x+131) = 180
  • 5x + 19 + 5x + 131 = 180
  • 10x + 140 = 180
  • 10x = 40
  • <em>x = 4</em>

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

6 times

Step-by-step explanation:

We will have to divide in order to solve this problem.

\frac{3}{4}÷\frac{1}{8}

We will have to find the reciprocal of 1/8, which is basically flipping it, so it is 8.

After, we will have to multiply 3/4x8. The product would come out as 24/4, and if you simplify it, the answer will be 6 times.
