Answer:

\frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The satellite has 30 modular units.

There are equal numbers of non-upgraded sensors in each unit.

Let us assume that on the entire satellite there are x numbers of upgraded sensors.

Then as per the given condition, there are \frac{x}{5} number of non-upgraded sensors in one unit.

Therefore, the number of non-upgraded sensors on the entire satellite is \frac{30x}{5} =6x

Hence, total number of sensors in the satellite is (x+ 6x) =7x

Therefore, the required fraction of the upgraded sensors is \frac{x}{7x} =\frac{1}{7}. (Answer)

Which of the following is the solution to 3/x + 2/(x+1) = 3/5x?
sergey [27]

Answer:

3/x + 2/(x+1) = 3/5x

[3 · 5(x + 1) + 2 · 5x] / 5x(x + 1) = 3(x + 1) / 5x(x + 1)

3 · 5(x + 1) + 2 · 5x = 3(x + 1)

15x + 15 + 10x = 3x + 3

15x + 10x - 3x = -15 + 3

22x = -12

x     = -12/22 = -6/11

Use Pythagorean theorem
kogti [31]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

y^2+8^2=17^2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

y^2+64=289

Step 2: Subtract 64 from both sides.

y^2+64−64=289−64

y^2=225

Step 3: Take square root.  

y=15
