Let's see.
4x/5 + 4/3 = 2x
First we have to make each denominator the same, so I'll multiply 4x/5 by 3/3, 4/3 by 5/5, and 2x by 15/15
Now we have 12x/15 + 20/15 = 30x/15
With everything in the same denominator we can solve the new equation of
12x + 20 = 30x
20 = 18x
10 = 9x
X= 10/9
The ratio for the problem above is one to four. A ratio is a relationship between number which describes how many times the second number contains the first number. The problem above gave two metric unit of length which are the centimeter and meter and the ratio between those two is one to a hundred. Therefore, we have a comparison between two amounts which are 75 and 300 and we can conclude a ratio of one to four.
Add the who numbers: 4 + 2 = 6
You are correct, it's C. 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Incenter is the intersection of angle bisectors.</u>
- ∠MJP = ∠OJP, ∠MKP = ∠NKP, ∠NLP = ∠OLP
<u>First find the value of x:</u>
- 7x - 6 = 5x + 4
- 7x - 5x = 4 + 6
- 2x = 10
- x = 5
<u>Find the angle MJP:</u>
<u>We know sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Using this find the missing angle measure:</u>
- 2*m∠MJP + 2*m∠NJP + 2*m∠MKP = 180°
- m∠MJP + m∠NJP + m∠MKP = 90°
- 29° + 26° + m∠MKP = 90°
- m∠MKP = 90° - 55°
- m∠MKP = 35°
Answer: the cost per unit of gas is $0.38
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost per unit of electricity.
Let y represent the cost per unit of gas.
During one month, a homeowner used 600 units of electricity and 100 units of gas for a total cost of $344. It means that
600x + 100y = 344- - - - - - - - - -1
The next month, 400 units of electricity and 250 units of gas were used for a total cost of $299.
It means that
400x + 250y = 299- - - - - - - - - -1
Multiplying equation 1 by 400 and equation 2 by 600, it becomes
240000x + 40000y = 137600
240000x + 150000y = 179400
Subtracting, it becomes
- 110000y = - 41800
y = - 41800/- 110000
y = 0.38
Substituting y = 0.38 into equation 1, it becomes
600x + 100 × 0.38 = 344
600x + 38 = 344
600x = 344 - 38 = 306
x = 306/600
x = 0.51
