35 because you add 6 to the 5 and get 35

How do you find the answer

It is E X= 22

J LINE SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLE so
the angle is = 180 - (5x-16 ) = 180-5x +16 =196 -5x ( angle in the triangke )

the other angle in the triangle = 50 ( alt interior angles line l parallel m
then we took the triangle sum = 180

<span>196 -5x </span> + 2x +50 = 180
so x = 22

I need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find X. I don’t know how to do that!!

frutty [35]

Answer:

17) x=8

18) $x=\sqrt{189}$ or $x= 3\sqrt{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So the rule is $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$ , "c" being the hypothenuse, or the long line that is opposite to the right angle.

17) We know that both values of x are equal to each other, which makes everything 10x easier!

$x^{2} +x^{2} =(8\sqrt{2}) ^{2}$

(by the way we know the x values are our a and b values because they are legs! the way I like to remember the legs is that they are connected to the right angle box, and therefore support the hypothenuse)

<em>simplify</em> (╥︣﹏╥)

$2x^2=8^2(\sqrt{2} )^{2}$

$2x^2=64(2)$

$2x^2=128$

$x^{2}= 128/2$

$x^{2} =64$

x=8

18) Just pretend that the flipped triangle doesn't exist. It's parallel to the other triangle with values on it, and basically servers no purpose other than being parallel to the sister triangle :)

Anyways, since we know the hypothenuse (15) but we don't know one of our leg values (x), we're going to change our equation a bit!

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

It doesn't matter if you put the one leg value in a or b, just as long as you stick to that same equation you started with the entire time!

$15^{2} -6^{2} =x^{2}$

$225-36=x^{2}$

$x^{2} =189$

$x=\sqrt{189}=3\sqrt{21}$

The more you do these, the easier they'll get, so don't worry!

Help. Solving Multi Step Ratio Problems!

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Part 1) $30\ coupons$

Part 2) $12\ sandwiches$

Part 3) $60\ push-ups$

Part 4) $96\ minutes$

Part 5) $\$95$

Part 6) $1\frac{7}{8}\ cups\ of\ pretzel$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

At the Green House of Salad , you get a $1 coupon for every 3 salads you buy

so

Using proportion

Find out the number of salads you could buy to get $10 in coupons

$\frac{1}{3}=\frac{10}{x} \\\\x=3(10)\\\\x=30\ coupons$

Part 2) we know that

Kim orders catering for $35

She spend $5 on a large order of potato salad and the rest on turkey sandwiches

Each sandwich is $2.50

How many sandwiches does Kim buy?

step 1

Find out how many Kim spent on turkey sandwiches

Subtract $5 from $35

35-5=$30

step 2

Using proportion, find out the number of sandwiches

so

$\frac{1}{2.50}=\frac{x}{30}\\\\x=30/2.50\\\\x= 12\ sandwiches$

Part 3) we know that

Molly does 10 push-ups at the same time as Liza does 15 push-ups

so

Using proportion

Find out how many push-ups Liza does when Molly does 40 push-ups

$\frac{10}{15}=\frac{40}{x}\\\\x=15(40)/10\\\\x=60\ push-ups$

Part 4) we know that

A shark swim at a speed of 25 miles per hour

The shark rest after 40 miles

How long in minutes, does the shark swim before resting?

Using proportion

Find out how long in minutes the shark swim 40 miles

Remember that

$1\ h=60\ min$

$\frac{25}{60}\ \frac{miles}{minutes}=\frac{40}{x}\ \frac{miles}{minutes}\\\\x=60(40)/25\\\\x=96\ minutes$

Part 5) we know that

For every bar of soap that Aly sells, she earns $5

For every mug that Janet sells, she earns twice as much as Aly

Aly sells 5 bars of soap and Janet sells 7 mugs

How much money did they make altogether?

step 1

Find out the amount earned by Aly

using proportion

$\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5}{x}\\\\x=5(5)\\\\x=\$25$

step 2

Find out the amount earned by Janet

Remember that

For every mug that Janet sells, she earns twice as much as Aly

so

For every mug that Janet sells, she earns 2($5)=$10

using proportion

$\frac{1}{10}=\frac{7}{x}\\\\x=10(7)\\\\x=\$70$

step 3

Adds the amount earned by Aly plus the amount earned by Janet

$25+70=\$95$

Part 6) we know that

Ted is making trail mix for a party

He mixes 1 1/2 cups of nuts, 1/4 cup of rising and 1/4 cup of pretzel

How many cups of pretzel does Ted need to make 15 cups of trail mix?

Adds the quantities

$1\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{4}=2\ cups\ of \ trail\ mix$

That means

For every 2 cups of trail mix we need 1/4 cup of pretzel

using proportion

Find out how many cups of pretzel does Ted need to make 15 cups of trail mix

$\frac{2}{(1/4)}=\frac{15}{x}\\\\x=15(1/4)/2\\\\x=\frac{15}{8}\ cups\ of\ pretzel$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{15}{8}=\frac{8}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=1\frac{7}{8}\ cups\ of\ pretzel$
