Answer:
x = 9.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
= 
( cross- multiply )
3(4x - 6) = 4(2x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
12x - 18 = 8x + 20 ( subtract 8x from both sides )
4x - 18 = 20 ( add 18 to both sides )
4x = 38 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 
= 9.5
9+6=15 and 15-12=3 so this =3 the -(-6) becomes positive
Answer:
d = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
41 = 12d - 7
48 = 12d
d = 4
8 and 1/2 as an improper fraction is 17/2
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed fraction, follow these steps:
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Write down the whole number answer.
Then write down any remainder above the denominator.
Answer:
x = 9
y = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Side-Side-Side or SSS means that if all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three corresponding sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are considered to be congruent (equal).
Therefore, GH = PM ⇒ 7x + 8 = 6y - 7
and, GP = HM ⇒ 8x - 10 = 5y - 3
Rewrite the first expression to make x the subject, then substitute this into the second equation, and solve for y:
GH = PM
⇒ 7x + 8 = 6y - 7
⇒ 7x = 6y - 15
⇒ x = (6/7)y - 15/7
Substituting x = (6/7)y - 15/7 into GP = HM:
GP = HM
⇒ 8x - 10 = 5y - 3
⇒ 8[(6/7)y - 15/7] - 10 = 5y - 3
⇒ (48/7)y - 120/7 - 10 = 5y - 3
⇒ (13/7)y = 169/7
⇒ y = 13
Now we have found a value for y, substitute this into one of the expressions and solve for x:
8x - 10 = 5y - 3
⇒ 8x - 10 = (5 x 13) - 3
⇒ 8x - 10 = 62
⇒ 8x = 72
⇒ x = 9
