The polygons are said to be similar if and only if the ratio of the measures of their corresponding sides are equal. If we are to establish the equation by the definition given above that would be,
15/10 = 60/x
The value of x from the equation is 40. Hence, the side measures 40.
ANSWER: 40
The answer is the last choice.
5x(x-3) = (x-2)(5x - 1) - 5
5x^2 - 15x = 5x^2 - x - 10x + 2 - 5
5x^2 - 15x = 5x^2 - 11x - 3
5x^2 - 11x - 3 - 5x^2 + 15x = 0
4x - 3 = 0
4x = 3
x = 3/4 or 0.75
250 × 3 = 750
D. 750
And i think i have already answered this one before..
1 ton is equivalent to 2000 pounds
we have to find how many pounds 3 3/8 tons are equal to
if 1 ton --> 2000 pounds
we can break down the fraction into 3 + 3/8
then 3 tons --> 2000 x 3 = 6000 pounds
3/8 ton ---> 2000 x 3/8 = 
after adding 6000 + 750 = 6750 pounds
answer is 6750 pounds
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the first equation for either x or y. I'll do it for x.

Begin by subtracting 5y.

Now divide by 5.

Simplify:

Now substitute x in the second equation for this value.

Distribute;

Add 6

Combine like terms;

Divide by -10.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take this value of y and replace it in the first equation to find the value of x.
