Mathematics
1 answer:
Step2247 [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 19.5

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{-3}{4} = \frac{x}{26}

<em>cross multiply</em>

-3(26) = 4(x)

<em>open the parenthesis</em>

-78 = 4x

<em>divide both sides of the equation by 4</em>

-78/4 = x

-19.5 = x

David cast a shadow 42" long at the same place and time in Emma cast a shadow 28" long. David is 66" tall. What is Emma's height
Nikolay [14]

ANSWER

Emma is 44" tall

EXPLANATION

We have that David cast a shadow 42 inches long and he is 66 inches tall.

At that same place and time, Emma cast a shadow of 28 inches.

Since they are at the same spot and time, we can conclude that the ratio of their height to shadow must be the same.

Let Emma's height be x.

The ratio of David's shadow to height is:

42 : 66 or 42 / 66

For Emma, it is:

28 : x or 28 / x

That means that:

\begin{gathered} \frac{42}{66}\text{ = }\frac{28}{x} \\ \text{Solve for x by cross-multiplying:} \\ 42\cdot\text{ x = 66 }\cdot\text{ 28} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{66\cdot\text{ 28}}{42} \\ x\text{ = 44 inches} \end{gathered}

So, Emma is 44" tall.

6(-p+8)= -6p + 12<br> Can someone help me please
Leno4ka [110]

Multiply the bracket by 6

6(-p+8)= -6p + 12

-6p+48= -6p+12

Move -6p from right side to left side

Sign changes from -6p to +6p

-6p+6p+48= -6p+6p+12

48= 12 ( No solution )

Answer : No solution

Graham graphs the following system of equations to determine its solution.
V125BC [204]

Answer: (2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use substitution to solve this:

First, I use the second equation to solve for y in terms of x.

2x - y = 2

-y = 2 - 2x

y = 2x - 2

Then, I plug the value for y into the first equation:

2x + 4y = 12

2x + 4(2x - 2) = 12

2x + 8x - 8 = 12

10x - 8 = 12

10x = 20

x = 2

Now that we have x, we can plug it into either equation (I used the first) to get the value for y:

2x + 4y = 12

2(2) + 4y = 12

4 + 4y = 12

4y = 8

y = 2

We get the point (2,2) as a solution.

Note: This is the point where both lines intersect.

1/4+3/8 and show work, please!!
gregori [183]

Answer:

The answer is 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : Convert both fractions so they have the same denominator (bottom number in the fraction.)

1/4 = 2/8

So now were dealing with :

2/8 + 3/8 = ?

Step 2 : Add the numerators together to get the numerator for our answer.

2 + 3 = 5

When adding two fractions with the same denominator the denominator stays the same, so our answer is 5/8.

Hope this helps, please mark brainliest. :) Have a nice day.
