8 0

Answer:

x=2.8≈3

Step-by-step explanation:

x:2=7:5

\frac{x}{2}=\frac{7}{5}

by cross-multiplication

x×5=2×7

5x=14

x=14/5

x=2.8≈3

i hope this will help you :)

Answer:

On occasions you will come across two or more unknown quantities, and two or more equations

relating them. These are called simultaneous equations and when asked to solve them you

must find values of the unknowns which satisfy all the given equations at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The solution of a pair of simultaneous equations

The solution of the pair of simultaneous equations

3x + 2y = 36, and 5x + 4y = 64

is x = 8 and y = 6. This is easily verified by substituting these values into the left-hand sides

to obtain the values on the right. So x = 8, y = 6 satisfy the simultaneous equations.

2. Solving a pair of simultaneous equations

There are many ways of solving simultaneous equations. Perhaps the simplest way is elimination. This is a process which involves removing or eliminating one of the unknowns to leave a

single equation which involves the other unknown. The method is best illustrated by example.

Example

Solve the simultaneous equations 3x + 2y = 36 (1)

5x + 4y = 64 (2) .

Solution

Notice that if we multiply both sides of the first equation by 2 we obtain an equivalent equation

6x + 4y = 72 (3)

Now, if equation (2) is subtracted from equation (3) the terms involving y will be eliminated:

6x + 4y = 72 − (3)

5x + 4y = 64 (2)

x + 0y = 8

Please help im so lost Ty btw

Answer:

1) gradient  (00) (-2 4) = y2-y1 / 2-1 = 4/-2 = -2  m = -2/1  means = m = -2  (negative slope)   2)  gradient  y2-y1 / x2-x1 = 3-0 / 2-0  = 3/2 = (1 1/2)/1   m = 1 1/2  (positive slope) we use the formula y-values divided by the change in the x-values.    The equation of the gradient each goes like this 1) y = -2x   as y is at origin nothing else to add     The equation of the gradient each goes like this 2) y = 1  1/2x     The equation of the point formula  1) we take the y -y1 = m (x +x 1)  =  y-0 = -2x (x +0)  (as m = -2) y = -2(x +0)   and  The equation of the point formula  2)  y - 0 = m ( x +x1)     y - 0 = 1 1/2( x +0)  = y = 1 1/2( x +0)

Write the decimal as a fraction in simplest form. 0.25 (with 25 repeating)
zlopas [31]
1/4, because you disregard the repeating 25s and round, and 25 x 4 is one hundred, so simplified it's 1/4.

Someone please please help me with this !
Elanso [62]

Answer:

551.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

Adjacent = 1300 feet

Opposite = x

Angle = 23°

We solve using the trigonometric function Tangent

tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent

tan 23 = x/1300 feet

Cross Multiply

x = tan 23 × 1300 feet

x = 551.81726107 feet

Approximately = 551.8 feet

The Length of the building = 551.8 feet
