3x : 2 = 15

3x = 15 * 2

3x = 30

x = 30 : 3

x = 10

--------------------------------

3(10) :2 = 15

A bag of marbles contains 15 blue marbles and 25 green marbles. Which of the following shows the fraction of green marbles in th

hichkok12 [17]

In total, there are 40 marbles. 25 of those marbles are green. What I did was divide the number of green marbles by fourth, the total number of marbles. (25/40) You should come up with 0.625. Then you convert the decimal into a fraction. 5/8 is equivalent to 0.625. Thus, 5/8 of the marbles are green.

Hope this helps :)

Find the length of the shorter leg of a right triangle with the longer leg is 9 feet more than the shorter leg the hypotenuse is

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Length of Shorter leg = 27 feet

Length of Longer leg = 36 feet

Length of Hypotenuse = 45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let,

Length of Shorter leg = x,

According to the given condition we have

∴ Length of Longer leg = x + 9 feet

∴ Length of Hypotenuse = 2x - 9 feet

To Find:

Length of Shorter leg = ?

Solution:

Now In Right Angle Triangle, By Pythagoras theorem we have

$(\textrm{Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm{Shorter leg})^{2}+(\textrm{Longer leg})^{2}$

substituting the given values we get

$(2x-9)^{2} = (x)^{2}+(x+9)^{2}\\$

By using Identity (A ± B)² = A² ± 2AB +B² we get

$4x^{2} -36x+81=x^{2} +(x^{2} +18x+81)\\\\4x^{2} -2x^{2} -36x-18x=81-81\\\\2x^{2} -54x=0\\2x(x-27)=0\\2x=0 or x-27=0\\\therefore x\ cannot\ be \ zero\\\therefore x = 27 \feet$
