How do I solve for x

Mathematics
2 answers:
Crazy boy [7]3 years ago
8 0
SOLUTION:

5a / x = 5b / x - 1

( 5a ) ( x - 1 ) = ( x ) ( 5b )

5ax - 5a = 5bx

5ax - 5bx = 5a

5x ( a - b ) = 5a

5x = 5a / ( a - b )

x = 5a / ( a - b ) ÷ 5

x = 5a / 5 ( a - b )

x = a / ( a - b )

Hope this helps! :)

How to work out surface area of cubes
allsm [11]

Answer:

The surface area of a cube = 6a2 where a is the length of the side of each edge of the cube. Put another way, since all sides of a cube are equal, a is just the lenght of one side of a cube. We have 96 = 6a2 → a2 = 16, so that's the area of one face of the cube.

Hope this helps!!!!!!!!

"Which diagram below shows the first step in parallel line construction on a point outside a line?
mote1985 [20]

<u>Answer</u>

2nd diagram


<u>Explanation.</u>

When contraction a parallel line from a point say N, outside the line, the first thing is to draw a line from point N to the that line.

The point where this line from N intersect with line, name it say P. From this point you can use the properties of angles in a parallel lines to construct the parallel line.

The line NP can act like a transverse of the two parallel lines. The diagram 2 shows first step.

Which graph represents the function f(x)=
zhenek [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

you don't show us the choices.

anyway, the real graph must be similar to the one you are showing, as it goes to - and + infinity for x = 2.

because the denominator "x-2" will be 0 for x = 2.

but the horizontal limits are both y = +3 (and not 0).

because (3x-2)/(x-2) goes more and more to 3/1 the larger (or smaller in the - direction) x gets.
