Answer:

The number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the reciprocal of 2/3

Remember that when multiply a number by its reciprocal, the result is 1

so

The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2

step 2

Let

x-----> the number added to the numerator and denominator

\frac{23+x}{12-x}=\frac{3}{2}

Solve for x

2(23+x)=3(12-x)\\46+2x=36-3x\\2x+3x=36-46\\5x=-10\\x=-2

step 3

verify

\frac{23+x}{12-x}

substitute x=-2

\frac{23-2}{12+2}

\frac{21}{14}

Simplify

\frac{3}{2} ----> is ok

therefore

The number is -2

What else would need to be congruent to show that abc = xyz by asa
pochemuha
Since you're working with the ASA postulate, you're looking to show congruence of the angles at either end of a side. You're given side AC and angle A as congruent with their counterparts. Obviously, you also need to show congruence of angle C with its counterpart, angle Z.

selection B is appropriate

I need some help:
dedylja [7]

The unit rate is another way of saying speed, so we divide the distance over the time. We can pick on any row

If we pick row 1, then, speed = distance/time = 90/2 = 45

Row 2 says the same thing: 135/3 = 45

So does row 3: 225/5 = 45

and so on

Because the speed is 45 mph, the unit rate is 45 miles in one hour. The term "unit" implies how much distance can be covered in one unit of time, in this case 1 hour.

You have the correct answer. Nice work.

A fish tank has a base area of 45cm2 and is filled with water to a depth of 12cm.If the height of the tank is 25cm, how much wat
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

v = 45 * 12

v = 540cm³

To fill the tank,

v = 45 * 25

v = 1,125cm³

I'm not quite sure what the exact question is so i'll answer both;

1.) The volume of water required to fill the tank from empty = 1,125cm³

2.) The volume of water required to fill the tank from it's current level is

1,125cm³ - 540cm³ = 585cm³
