Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x, you need to set up a proportion:
= 
Then cross multiply:
15x - 15 = 18x + 36
Then subtract 15x from both sides:
-15 = 3x + 36
Subtract 36 from both sides:
-51 = 3x
Finally, divide both sides by 3:
x = -7
Answer:
The correct option is 1. Fiona's first step is isolating constant 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
I took it on EDG
Mark received £ 132
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that £440 is divided between David, Mark & Henry
Let "d" be the share of david
Let "m" be the share of mark
Let "h" be the share of henry
Total amount is 440
Therefore,
share of david + share of mark + share of henry = 440
d + m + h = 440 ------- eqn 1
<em><u>David gets twice as much as Mark</u></em>
d = 2m ----- eqn 2
<em><u>Mark gets three times as much as Henry</u></em>
m = 3h
------ eqn 3
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 and eqn 3 in eqn 1</u></em>
Thus Mark received £ 132
Answer:
1.3
Friend is wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
friend's claim: height of his building is more than 1.50 times the height of yours
line of sight to the top edge of the other building makes an angle of 21° above the horizontal
line of sight to the base of the other building makes an angle of 52° below the horizontal
Solution:
Let A be the height of your building is A
Let B+A his building is B higher than yours.
Let the distance between the buildings is x.
then
tan 52 = A/x
tan 21 = B/x
A/B = tan 52 / tan 21
= 1.27994 / 0.38386
A/B = 3.33
(A + B) / A = 1.5
0
A/A + B/A = 1.50
1 + B/A = 1.50
B/A is basically (B/x) / (A/x)
So
1+ 3.33 / 3.33
= 4.33/3.33
= 1.3
Since 1.3 is not equal to 1.5
Hence the friend's claim is wrong.
I think C is the correct answer. Have a good day : )
