Answer: x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
So the figures are the same, except the bigger one is bigger. It's equally bigger on all sides, so basically 6 * y = 15 to find what it is enlarged by. Then multiple 8 by y to find the missing length.
6*y = 15
/6
y = 2.5
8 * 2.5 = 20
We can also check this by:
4 * 2.5 = 10
6 * 2.5 = 15
8 * 2.5 = 20
Answer: 72
heyy, umm basically group like terms together. E.g. 6= 1/2x + 1/4x - 2/3x. Then, just solve for x e.g. 1/2 + 1/4 - 2/3 and use the answer to equal it to 6. Which should be 1/12x=6... pretty sure haha. Then divide. E.g.6/1/12 for x. In this case I got 72.. :)
Equation:
distance + distance = 2250 miles
3x + 3(x-110) = 2250
6x - 330 = 2250
6x = 2580
x = 430 mph (rate of the westbound plane)
x-110 = 320 mph (rate of the eastbound plane)

3)The original rational number was 17/12.
4)The age of Ruby and Reshma are 20 and 28 years respectively.
Explanation:
3)Let the numerator be x.
So denominator will be (x - 5)
If we add 5 to numberator then it will be (x + 5)
New number is (x + 5)/(x - 5)=11/6
Solve for X by cross multiplying
6(x + 5)=11(x - 5)
6x + 30=11x - 55
5x=85
x=17
So original rational number was 17/12.
4)The ages of Ruby and Reshma are in the ratio 5:7
So, let the present ages of Ruby and Reshma be 5x and 7x respectively.
Also, it is given that four years from now the ratio of their ages will be 3:4
So, the equation - 5x + 4 / 7x + 3 = 3/4
⇒4(5x+4)=3(7x+4)
⇒20x+16=21x+12
⇒21x−20x=16−12
⇒x=4
⇒5x=20 and 7x=28
The age of Ruby and Reshma are 20 and 28 years respectively.
The answer should be:
20.875
Hope this helps.
