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

a bottling machine can fill 300 bottles in 5 minutes at this rate how many bottles can be filled in 8 minutes

kirill [66]

480 bottles because 300 divided by 5 is 60 so then you multiply 60 by 8 and you get 480!

Refer to the triangle below. If a = 4 and b = 6, solve for c. show work Also, give the unsimplified radical form answer and then

9966 [12]

Look at the image below where I labeled the sides

To solve this you must use Pythagorean theorem:

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$

a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)

c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

In this case...

a = 4

b = 6

c = unknown

^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem

$4^{2} +6^{2} =c^{2}$

simplify

16 + 36 = $x^{2}$

52 = $x^{2}$

To remove the square from x take the square root of both sides to get you...

√52 = x

^^^Unsimplified radical

2√13

^^^Simplified radical

7.21

^^^Rounded to hundedths

There are 3 consecutive integers. Four times the smallest integer is equal to six more than three times the largest integer. Wha

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer equal x - 1, the next one equal x, and the last one equal x + 1.

4(x-1) = 3(x-1) + 6

x-1 = 5

x = 6

The smallest integer is x - 1, which is equal to 5. Thus, the smallest of the three integers is 5.
