Answer:

The solution to the proportion \frac{3y-8}{12}=\frac{y}{5} is y=\frac{40}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  proportion \frac{3y-8}{12}=\frac{y}{5}

WE have to find the solution for the given proportion.

Consider the given proportion \frac{3y-8}{12}=\frac{y}{5}.

Cross multiply the terms, we get,

5 (3y - 8) = 12( y )

Simply the terms by multiplying 5 by each term in brackets, we get,

15y - 40 = 12y

taking y terms one sides, we get,

15y - 12y = 40

On simplifying , we get,

3y = 40

Divide both side by 3, we have,

y=\frac{40}{3}

Thus, the solution to the proportion \frac{3y-8}{12}=\frac{y}{5} is y=\frac{40}{3}

\displaystyle\\
 \frac{3y-8}{12} = \frac{y}{5}  \\  \\ 
5(3y-8)=12y\\\\
15y-40=12y\\\\
3y = 40\\\\
\boxed{y =  \frac{40}{3}}

Consider a triangle formed by connecting the three points: (0 0 0), (1 0 0), (1 1 1). a. Find the vector which is perpendicular
Sidana [21]

Answer:

=k−j   or (0 -1 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Vector or Outer Product two vectors, say →x&→y, is  

denoted by →x×→y, is a perpendicular vector to the plane containing them.

The given pts. A (0 0 0), B (1 0 0), C (1 1 1) lie in a

plane ABC.

As suchType equation here., the vectors (→(AB ) )and (→AC ) are members, ∈ of the plane ABC

That is □(→(AB )×(→AC))  to the plane ABC

(→(AB ) )=(1-0,0-0,0-0)=(1,0,0)

(→(AC ) )=(1-0,1-0,1-0)=(1,1,1)

(→(AB )×(→AC=  (0i -j  k)

=k−j  

Which is in the positive Z direction

The sum of 13 and twice a number
Setler79 [48]
This would be 13+2x because if x is the number, then 2 times it would be 2x and the sum means addition so it would be 13+2x

So a scale drawing of a school bus has a scale of 12 inch to 5 feet. If the length of the school bus is 412 inches on the scale
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

So since the scale is 12 inches:5 feet, we have to divide 412 inches by 12 inches because 412 inches is the total length drawn on the scale drawing.

412/12 = 34.3

Then since each 12 inches equals 5 feet and we have 34.3 12x inches. We are just going to multiply 34.3 by 5.

34.3*5 = 171 and 2/3 feet is your actual length of the bus
