Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use similar triangles and ratios. Put the small triangle side over the large triangle side.
9cm 3x -20
---------- = ---------------- We need to add the sides to get to the larger triangle
72+9 cm 3x-20 + 56
We can cross multiply to solve
9 * (3x-20+56) = (72+9) * (3x-20)
Simplify
9*(3x+36) = 81*(3x-20)
Distribute
27x +324 = 243x -1620
Subtract 27x from each side
27x-27x +324 = 243x-27x -1620
324 = 216x-1620
Add 1620 to each side
324+1620 = 216x
1944 = 216x
Divide each side by 216
1944/216 = 216x/216
9=x

Answer:$120
Step-by-step explanation
I had homework over this a day ago
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
we have 400 people. that is 10/10 of the whole group.
7/10 of the whole group drink tea. that is
400 × 7/10 = 40 × 7 = 280
that leaves 3/10 of the whole group not drinking tea
400 × 3/10 = 40 × 3 = 120
from the 280 tea drinkers 20% drink at lay e cups of tea each day. that is
280 × 20/100 = 28 × 2 = 56
because 20 out of 100 is the meaning of 20%.
and the remaining 80% of the tea drinkers drink less then 3 cups each day.
280 × 80/100 = 28 × 8 = 224
b)
out of the 400 people 56 drink at least 3 cups of tea each day. that is
56/400 = 7/50
