Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem.  Put the side of the small triangle over the side of the large triangle.

9           15

------ = ----------

2x-1        3x

Using cross products

9*3x = 15(2x-1)

27x = 30x-15

Subtract 30x from each side

27x-30x = 30x-30x -15

-3x = -15

Divide by -3

-3x/-3 = -15x/-3

x = 5

6 times a number is 27 less than the square of that number. Find the positive solution.
Verdich [7]

Let x = your number.

6x = x^2 - 27. Subtract 6x from each side.

0 = x^2 - 6x - 27. Factor

0 = (x-9) (x+3). Set each term equal to zero

(x+3) = 0. Subtract 3 from each side.

x = -3. This is the negative solution.

(x-9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.

x = 9. This is the positive solution.

1/4 hour because since it took him 3/4 hr to milk 3 groups, it is reasonable to divide 3/4 by 3. So in 1/4 hour.
