Solving \frac{6}{x+2}=\frac{3}{4} we get x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve \frac{6}{x+2}=\frac{3}{4}

Solving:

Cross multiply both terms:

4*6=3(x+2)\\24=3x+6\\3x=24-6\\3x=18\\x=18/3\\x=6

Verifying the solution:

Putting x=6 in the question given:

\frac{6}{x+2}=\frac{3}{4}

\frac{6}{6+2}=\frac{3}{4}

\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}

\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{4}

Solving \frac{6}{x+2}=\frac{3}{4} we get x=6

Of 10<br> Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (2,-2) and (0,-6).
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1}  \\

From the question we have

m  =  \frac{ - 6 -  - 2}{0 - 2}  =  \frac{ - 6 + 2}{ - 2}   =   \frac{ - 4}{ - 2}  = 2 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2</h3>

Hope this helps you

Please help me with 2 and 3 and use the elimination process!
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

2. Judy =$5

Ben= $4

Step-by-step explanation:

2. Let Judy =  x  and Ben =  y

8x + 10y = 80

9x + 5y = 65

Solve these simultaneous equations.

8 x  +  10 y  =  80

18 x  +  10 y  =  130

Take the second equation away from the first equation

− 10 x  =  − 50

x  =  5

This means that Judy gets paid $5 an hour.

Therefore, Ben gets paid $4 an hour.

Answer:

3. 24 quarters and 16 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

3. Let the number of dimes = x and the number of quarters = y

                                    Value      Value

Type        Number       of             of

of             of                EACH      ALL

coin         coins            coin        coins

-------------------------------------------

dimes         x              $0.10       $0.10x

quarters      y             $0.25      $0.25y

-------------------------------------------

TOTALS    40                            $7.60

x + y = 40

0.10x + 0.25y = 7.60

Get rid of decimals by multiplying every term by 100:

10x + 25y = 760

So we have the system of equations:

x + y = 40

10x + 25y = 760

         

We solve by substitution.  Solve the first equation for y:

x + y = 40

y = 40 - x

Substitute (40 - x) for y in 10x + 25y = 760

      10x + 25(40 - x) = 760

      10x + 1000 - 25x = 760

           -15x + 1000 = 760

                  -15x = -240

                       x = 16 = the number of dimes.

Substitute in y = 40 - x

                     y = 40 - (16)

                     y = 24 quarters.

$1.60 + $6.00 = $7.60

I hope that helped, sorry for taking so long :-)

Hayden had 2 and 1/2 gallons of water in his watering can. The seed packet said to use 1/4 of a gallon for peppers and 5/8 of a
Flauer [41]

Answer:

7/8 of a gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

First find a common denominator for each of the values, in this case eighths. Next, add the total water used for the tomatoes and peppers (you'll get 7/8 gallons). Then, convert the 2 and a half gallons to eighths, getting 20/8 of a gallon. Next, subtract the 7/8 from the 20/8; getting 13/8. Since you need to find the amount of water used for the lettuce, subtract the last value from 3/4 gallons (or 6/8)
