To solve, isolate the x. Cross multiply

3/13(13)(5) = x/5(5)(13)

3(5) = (13)x

Simplify

13x = 15

Isolate the x. Divide by 13.

13x/13 = 15/13

x = 15/13

x = 1.2

1.2 is your answer

hope this helps

Janet and her brother John went out to eat. Both paid the same amount. Janet got three burgers and left a $10 tip. John bought 4

lianna [129]

Answer:

Cost for 1 burger = 5 $

Amount spent by Janet = 25$

Amount spent by John = 25$

Explanation:

Let the cost for burger be p.

Janet got three burgers and left a $10 tip

Amount spent by Janet = 3 p + 10

John bought 4 burgers, but only left a $5 tip

Amount spent by John = 4 p + 5

Both paid the same amount.

So, we have 3 p + 10 = 4 p + 5

=> p = 5 $

So, cost for 1 burger = 5 $

Amount spent by Janet = 3 x 5 + 10 = 25$

Amount spent by John = 4 x 5 + 5 = 25$

On a basketball court the free throw line is marked off geometrically this area of the court is called a key and is topped

Alenkinab [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Arc length formula is

$s = rx$

where x is radinas.

A semi circle has a radian measure of

$\pi$

The radius is half of the diameter, 12 so the radius is

$12 \times \frac{1}{2} = 6$

So the arc length is

$6 \times \pi = 6\pi$

Area of semi circle is

$\frac{1}{2} \pi {r}^{2}$

where r is the radius.

$\frac{1}{2} \pi6 {}^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2} 36\pi$

$18\pi$
