Answer:

A. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply:

30x = 72(5)

x = 360/30

x = 12

Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the two proportions equal to each other:

\frac{5}{x}  = \frac{30}{72}

Cross multiply to solve for x:

5 · 72 = 30 · x

360 = 30x

Divide both sides by 30:

360/30 = 30x/30

12 = x.

Therefore, the value of 'x' in this proportion is 12.

An artists builds a sculpture out of metal and wood that weighs 14.9 kilograms.3/4 of this weight is metal,and the rest is wood.
Softa [21]

Given is a sculpture that is built up of metal and wood, and the weight of this sculpture is 14.9 kilograms.

It says that three-fourth of the total weight is metal and says to find the weight of wooden part.

We can find the weight of metal part and then subtract it from the total weight to calculate the answer.

Total weight = 14.9 kilograms.

Metal part = three-fourth of total weight = \frac{3}{4} *14.9=\frac{44.7}{4} =11.175 \;kilograms

Wooden part = 14.9 - 11.175 = 3.725 kilograms.

Hence, the wooden part is 3.725 kilograms.

For each system of equations, drag the true statement about its solution set to the box under the system?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

y = 4x + 2

y = 2(2x - 1)

Zero solutions.

4x + 2 can never be equal to 4x - 2

y = 3x - 4

y = 2x + 2

One solution

3x - 4 = 2x + 2 has one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The system of equation has zero number of solution if the coefficients

 of x and y are the same and the numerical terms are different

- The system of equation has infinity many solutions if the

   coefficients of x and y are the same and the numerical terms

   are the same

- The system of equation has one solution if at least one of the

  coefficient of x and y are different

* Lets solve the problem

∵ y = 4x + 2 ⇒ (1)

∵ y = 2(2x - 1) ⇒ (2)

- Lets simplify equation (2) by multiplying the bracket by 2

∴ y = 4x - 2

- The two equations have same coefficient of y and x and different

  numerical terms

∴ They have zero equation

y = 4x + 2

y = 2(2x - 1)

Zero solutions.

4x + 2 can never be equal to 4x - 2

∵ y = 3x - 4 ⇒ (1)

∵ y = 2x + 2 ⇒ (2)

- The coefficients of x and y are different, then there is one solution

- Equate equations (1) and (2)

∴ 3x - 4 = 2x + 2

- Subtract 2x from both sides

∴ x - 4 = 2

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ x = 6

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) or (2) to find y

∴ y = 2(6) + 2

∴ y = 12 + 2 = 14

∴ y = 14

∴ The solution is (6 , 14)

y = 3x - 4

y = 2x + 2

One solution

3x - 4 = 2x + 2 has one solution
