Answer: -6 5/12 or -6.42

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, 5 -12 - + 5/4 = 2/3

Let the missing value be x

Then subtract 5 from 12

-7 - x + 5/4 = 2/3

Add 7 to both sides

= -7 - x + 5/4 +7 = 2/3 +7

+7 cancels -7 on the left hand side of the equation

= -x + 5/4 = 2/3 +7

Then, subtract 5/4 from both sides to get

-x = 2/3 - 5/4 +7

-x= 77/12

x = -6 5/12 or -6.42

I hope this helps

James earned $39,600 last year. He paid $11,250 towards rent and $1,422 in car payments. What percent of his earnings did Jon pa

tester [92]

Step 1:
Add rent & car payments

=11,250+1422
=$12,672

Step 2:
to determine %, set up a proportion
12,672 is to his total of 39,600 as x is to 100

12,672/39,600 = x/100
cross multiply
(12,672)(100) = (39,600)(x)
1,267,200= 39,600x
divide both sides by 39,600
32%= x

OR

Alternative Step 2:
12,672 ÷ 39,600= 0.32
Alternative Step 3:
0.32 x 100 = 32%
or move decimal to the right 2 places

His rent and car payments are 32% of his earnings.

Hope this helps! :)

Find the missing segment.

Bond [772]

Answer:

? = 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are similar because of the AA Theorem.

The larger triangle's side that is equal to 9 + 3 corresponds to the smaller triangle's side length of 9, while the larger triangle's 21 + ? side corresponds to the smaller triangle's 21 side. Now, we can set up a proportion!

$\frac{9}{9+3} =\frac{21}{21 + ?}$
