What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
lorasvet [3.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use what is called geometric mean to solve this.

The hypotenuse of this triangle is split into two sections. One section corresponds to/equal to the altitude which is our "X", which corresponds to/equal to the second section.

You find "X" by using geometric mean and the proportion:

16/X=X/9

Then cross multiply to get 16 x 9= 144

then 144=x²

Solve for X.

X=12

Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation:
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Division Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

→In Step 4, it is shown that the equation is:

3x = 30

→However, to solve for x, you must get it by itself. This means you need to get rid of the 3 that's being multiplied. So since the 3 is being multiplied to x, you must do the opposite of multiplication, which is division.

→As you can see, the total of 30 is decreased in Step 5, since it has been divided by 3, giving you a total of 10.

This shows that the property of equality that yields Step 5 is the <u>Division Property of Equality.</u>

Divide 20 chocolates between Adi and Suresh such that adi gets 60% while Suresh gets 40% of the chocolates
Eddi Din [679]

Hello!

To find how much chocolate Adi and Suresh receives, you need to convert the percentage to a decimal, then you multiply that decimal by the total number of chocolates, which is 20.

To convert percentages to decimals, divide the percentage by 100, and remove the percentage.

60% / 100 = 0.60

20% / 100 = 0.20

Then, we multiply 0.60 and 0.20 by 20.

0.60 x 20 = 12

0.40 x 20 = 8

Therefore, Adi gets 12 chocolates and Suresh gets 8 chocolates.
