(13 + x)/(50 - x ) = (2/1)
Cross Multiply
2(50-x) = 1(13 + x)
100 - 2x = 13 + x
add 2x to both sides
100 -2x + 2x = 13 + x + 2x
100 = 13 + 3x
Subtract 13 from both sides
100 - 13 = 13 - 13 + 3x
87 = 3x
divide both sides by 3
29 = x
(13 + 29)/(50-29) = 42/21 = 2 to 1 ratio
5x-4=4x+8
-4x. -4x
X-4=8
+4. +4
X=12
5(12)-4=4(12)+8
60-4=48+8
56=56
Answer: The constant of proportionality is 5 because the equation would be y=kx but instead of k it has 5.
Answer:
Density = 52.8 pound per cubic feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following data;
Length = 2.5 feet
Width = 0.5 feet
Height = 0.25 feet
Mass = 16.5 pound
To find the density of the wood;
First of all, we would determine the volume of the wood.
Volume = length * width * height
Volume = 2.5 * 0.5 * 0.25
Volume = 0.3125 cubic feet
Next, we find the density;
Mathematically, density is given by the formula;
Density = mass/volume
Substituting into the formula, we have;
Density = 16.5/0.3125
Density = 52.8 pound per cubic feet.
