Well, first I split it up into two different equations:
6-4=2
5/8-2/9=.4027
Then, added the two: 2.4027

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=7\dfrac{23}{25}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x\div3\dfrac{3}{10}=2\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\text{convert the mixed number to the impropper fraction}\\\\3\dfrac{3}{10}=\dfrac{3\cdot10+3}{10}=\dfrac{33}{10}\\\\2\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{2\cdot5+2}{5}=\dfrac{12}{5}\\\\x\div\dfrac{33}{10}=\dfrac{12}{5}\\\\x\times\dfrac{10}{33}=\dfrac{12}{5}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by}\ \dfrac{33}{10}\\\\x\times\dfrac{10\!\!\!\!\!\diagup}{33\!\!\!\!\!\diagup}\times\dfrac{33\!\!\!\!\!\diagup}{10\!\!\!\!\!\diagup}=\dfrac{12}{5}\times\dfrac{33}{10}\\\\x=\dfrac{396}{50}$

$x=\dfrac{198}{25}\\\\x=\dfrac{175+23}{25}\\\\x=\dfrac{175}{25}+\dfrac{23}{25}\\\\x=7\dfrac{23}{25}$

What is the value of x?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> x = ?

Tema [17]

The partial circles in each corner mean that all 3 angles are identical, which means this is an equatorial triangle. In an equatorial triangle all three sides are the same.

We can set two of the equations to equal each other and solve for x:

3x -5 = 2x +20

Add 5 to each side:

3x = 2x +25

Subtract 2x from each side:

x = 25

Find the value of y.

Phoenix [80]

$\boxed{y=6\sqrt{3}}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

For a better understanding of the problem I've built up two triangles from the given triangular shape. So these two triangles are similar. Therefore, we can solve this problem by using ratios and corresponding sides in this way:

$\frac{x}{3}=\frac{12}{x} \\ \\ x^2=36 \\ \\ x=\sqrt{36} \\ \\ x=6$
