Answer:

A. x = 7

B. x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 5/x = 30/42

5/x = 5/7

5 = 5/7 x

5= 5x/7

5 x 7 = 5x

35 = 5x

35/5 = x

7 = x

x = 7

B. x/8 = -12/32

x/8 = -3/8

x = - 3/8 x 8

x = - 24/8

x = -3

The sum of two numbers is twenty-four. The difference of the two numbers is four.

RSB [31]

Answer:

$x + y = 24$

$x - y = 4$

Now, add these two equations.

You get,

$2x = 28$

$x = \frac{28}{2}$

$x = 14$

Given,

$x + y = 24$

$14 + y = 24$

$y = 24 - 14$

$y = 10$

You can test this to the other equation as well.

$x - y = 4$

$14 - 10 = 4$

Hence, the two numbers are 14 and 10.

Answer:

The % growth rate is 15.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the function is given by $f(w) = a(b)^{w}$ , where f(w) is the number of a specific product produced after w weeks.

Now, given for w = 0, f(0) = 190 = a

So, the function becomes $f(w) = 190(b)^{w}$ ............. (1)

Now, it is also give that at w = 1, f(1) = 220.

So, from equation (1) we get,

$220 = 190 (b)^{1} = 190b$

⇒ b = 1.15789.

Now, b = 1 + r

⇒ 1.15789 = 1 + r

⇒ r = 0.15789

Therefore, the % growth rate is 0.15789 × 100% = 15.8% (Approx.)

Identify the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that is perpendicular to y = -1/3 x + 2 and passes through (2, 1)

Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the other line, meaning if the slope of the other line is $-\frac{1}{3}$ , then the slope of the line perpendicular is $3$ .

Knowing this, we can start to construct the equation for the line:

$y = mx + b$

$y = 3x + b$

To solve for $b$ , we plug in the coordinates of the point that we know the line runs through, $(2, 1)$ :

$y = 3x + b$

$1 = 3(2) + b$

$1 = 6 + b$

$b = -5$

Therefore, the slope of the line that is perpendicular ot the line provided in the equation is the following:

$y = 3x - 5$
