2x/21=12/18
Use cross multiply
2x(18)=21×12
36x=252
Divided 36 for both side
36x/36=252/36
x=7. As a result, x=7 is your final answer. Hope it help!

You can use something called crossed multiplication (not sure the official name but something like that) basically when you have 2 fractions that equal to each other, you can multiply the numerator on the left-hand side with the denominator on the friction on the right side. and repeat the same with the numerator on the right side and multiply it by the denominator on the left. that way, there will be no more fractions and will just leave you simple algebraic equations.
so in here2x / 21 = 12 / 18 252 = 36x x = 7

A toxic radioactive substance with a density of 7 milligrams per square centimeter is detected in the ventilating ducts of a nuc
uysha [10]
For this case we have an equation of the form:
 y = A * (b) ^ t
 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: decrease rate
 t: time in years.
 Substituting values we have:
 7 = A * (0.5) ^ ((1/20) * t)
 For t = 45 years we have:
 7 = A * (0.5) ^ ((1/20) * 45) 
 Clearing A:
 A = 7 / ((0.5) ^ ((1/20) * 45))
 A = 33.3
 Answer:
 
the density of the substance when it was deposited 45 years ago was:
 
A = 33.3 milligrams per square centimeter

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

a person travel 50 ft from the bottom to the top of the escalator

Step-by-step explanation:

An escalator lifts people to the second floor of a building, 25 ft above the first floor. The escalator rises at a 30 degree angle

The escalator forms a right angle triangle

opposite to 30 degree angle is 25 feet. to find the distance from the bottom to the top of the escalator we find the hypotenuse

let x be the hypotenuse

sin(theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

sin(30)=\frac{25}{x}\\x sin(30)= 25\\x=\frac{25}{sin(30)} \\x=50\\

a person travel 50 ft from the bottom to the top of the escalator
