Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 7


Discussion:

The two triangles are similar by AAA (since the bases of the two triangles are parallel, the base angles in each triangle are identical).  Hence the ratio of corresponding parts are equal. In this case, that mean

(3x-6)  \ ( ( 3x -6) + 12) =  10 \ (10+8)  =>

(3x-6) \ (3x+6) = 10/18 = 5/9.

Multiply both sides by 3x + 6:

(3x -6) \ (3x +6) * (3x + 6) = 5/9 (3x +6) =>

3x -6 = 5/9 (3x +6) =>           (Subtract 5/9 * 3x from both sides)

3x -6 - 5/9(3x) = 5/9*6 =>

3x - 5/9(3x) -6 = 5*6/9 = 30/9 = 10/3 =>

4/9 (3x) -6 = 10/3 =>             (Add 6 to each side)

4/9(3x) = 6 + 10/3 = 28/3 =>

4*(3x)/9 = 28/3   =>              

(12/9) x        = 28/3 =>          (multiply both sides by 9/12)

x = (28/3) * (9/12)  = 252/36 = 126/18 =63/9 = 7

Let's go:


Big triangle:

12 + 3x - 6 = 3x + 6

10 + 8 = 18


\frac{10}{18} = \frac{3x - 6}{3x + 6} \\\\ 10.(3x + 6) = 18.(3x - 6) \\\ 30x + 60 = 54x - 108 \\\ 54x - 30x = 60 + 108 \\\ 24x = 168 \\\ x = 7


I hope I helped you.

Elza [17]

Given:

A company wants to select 1 project from a set of 4 possible projects.

Consider the options are:

a. X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4=1

b. X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4\leq 1

c. X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4\geq 1

d. X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4\geq 0

To find:

The constraints that ensures only 1 will be selected.

Solution:

It is given that the company wants to select 1 project from a set of 4 possible projects. It means the sum of selected projects must be equal to 1.

X_1+X_2+X_3+X_4=1

Therefore, the correct option is (a).

A room can be cleaned in 2 hours if rob and Harry work together. Ron could clean it in 3 hours. How long can harry clean it?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total work be X

Combined speed: X/2

Ron's speed: X/3

Harry's speed: S

X/2 = X/3 + S

S = X/2 - X/3 = (3X - 2X)/6 = X/6

Harry's speed is X/6, so he'll take 6 hours

Can somebody please help me and quick? thxs​
zmey [24]
The answer is 15%

Explanation:

Team A has 42 members and team b has 18 more than team A so team b has 60 members. In order for the teams to be equal, there’d need to be 51 people on each team(60+42/2=51). There are 9 extra people on team b, so we need 9/60 , divide and you get 15%.
