There is no values of X that will make the expression correct

MissTica3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 9 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

6/8 = x/12 = x/16

Simplify

3/4 = x/12 = x/16

Multiply 3/4 by 3/3 (does nothing but changes the number)

9/12 = x/12

x = 9

Multiply 3/4 by 4/4 ( also does nothing)

12/16 = x/16

x = 12

A straight line passing through A(3,2) and B(5,y) has gradient -2. find the value of y​
astraxan [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient \:  =  \:  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

y2 = y , x2 = 5

y1 = 2 , x1 = 3

- 2 \:  =  \:  \frac{y - 2}{5 - 3}

-4 = y-2 ==> y = -2

You purchased concentrated cleaner that must be diluted (watered down)
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The volume of the concentrated 80 gallons mixture is 20 gallons

The volume of water in the 80 gallons mixture is 60 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The content of Container A = The cleaner

The concentration of the cleaner = 20% solution

The content of Container B = Pure water

The concentration of the desired solution = 5%

The volume of the required solution = 80 gallons

Let x represent the volume of the concentrated solution and y represent the volume of water in the 80 gallons mixture

Therefore, we have;

20/100 × x + y×0 = 5/100×80

x + y = 80

y = 80 - x

20/100 × x + (80 - x)×0 = 5/100×80

0.2·x = 4

x = 4/0.2 = 20

x = 20 gallons

y = 80 - x = 80 - 20 = 60

y = 60 gallons

The volume of the concentrated solution (80 gallons mixture) = x = 20 gallons

The volume of water in the 80 gallons mixture = y = 60 gallons.

By what percent will a fraction increase if its numerator is decreased by 30%
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = numerator

Let y = denominator

\implies \dfrac{x}{y}

Decreased by 30% = 100% - 30% = 70% = 70/100 = 0.7

Decreased by 50% = 100% - 50% = 50% = 50/100 = 0.5

\implies \dfrac{0.7x}{0.5y}

\implies \dfrac{0.7}{0.5}=1.4

\implies 1.4 \ \dfrac{x}{y}

1.4 as a percentage = 1.4 x 100 = 140%

Therefore, the percentage increase is 140 - 100 = 40%
