I am not sure what you mean, but x=4
Answer:
Total length of the first swing=64 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The total length of all four swings can be expressed as;
Total length of all 4 swings=Length of first swing+length of second swing+length of third swing+length of fourth swing
where;
Total length of all 4 swings=175 m
Length of first swing=x
Length of second swing=75% of length of first swing=(75/100)×x=0.75 x
Length of third swing=75% of length of second swing
Length of third swing=(75/100)×0.75 x=0.5625 x
Length of fourth swing=75% of length of third swing
Length of fourth swing=(75/100)×0.5625 x=0.421875 x
replacing;
Total length of all 4 swings
175=x+0.75 x+0.5625 x+0.421875 x
2.734375 x=175
x=175/2.734375
x=64
Total length of the first swing=x=64 m
Answer:
ST = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Line segment RS and segment ST must add up to line segment RT
Step 1: Define
RS = 17
ST = x + 6
RT = 3x - 5
Step 2: Set up equation
mRS + mST = mRT
17 + x + 6 = 3x - 5
Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>
x + 23 = 3x - 5
23 = 2x - 5
28 = 2x
x = 14
Step 3: Find mST
ST = x + 6
ST = 14 + 6
ST = 20
