What is the answer to w/2 +7=w/3+9?

2 answers:

7 0

1. Multiply both sides by 6 (the LCM of 2, 3,)

3w + 42 = 2w + 54

2. Subtract 42 from both sides

3w = 2w + 54 - 42

3. Simplify 2w + 54 - 42 to 2w + 12

3w = 2w + 12

4. Subtract 2w from both sides

3w - 2w = 12

5. Simplify 3w - 2w to w

w=12

Your answer is 12

W/2 - w/3 = 9-7
3w - 2w = 9-7
W = 2

The length of the hypotenuse of a 30-60 -90 triangle is 14 units. what is the length of the short leg

kifflom [539]

Recall that the short leg is the side opposite the 30 degrees angle. And the ratio of the short leg to the hypotenuse is 1:2.

Let the length of the short leg be x, then,

$\cfrac{x}{14}=\cfrac{1}{2}\\ \\\Rightarrow2x=14\\ \\\Rightarrow x=\cfrac{14}{2}=7$

ABCDE ~ FGHIJ. Figure 2 is a dilation of figure 1, and the scale factor is 0.6. Given that FG = 12 cm, find AB.

avanturin [10]

We known that the figures are similar if and only if the corresponding sides and and angles have the common scale factor. In this item, the scale factor is 0.6. The length of AB is determined by multiplying the length of FG with the scale factor. That is,
AB = FG x scale factor
AB = (12 cm) x 0.6
AB = 7.2 cm
Thus, the length of side AB is 7.2 cm.
