Answer:

x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the areas of the rectangles

1st rectangle

A= l*w

A = (2x+4)*9

= 18x+36

2nd rectangle

A = l*w

= 15*(3x-30)

= 45x-450

Since the area of the rectangles are equal, we set these two equations equal

18x+36 = 45x-450

Subtract 18x from each side

18x-18x+36 = 45x-18x-450

36 = 27x-450

Add 450 to each side

36+450 =27x

486 = 27x

Divide by 27 on each side

486/27 = 27x/27

18=x

Answer:

The blank on the top is 0.31 because that is what you multiply 80 by

The blank in the middle is 24.8 because that's what you get when you multiply 80 by 0.31

The blank on the bottom is 0.31 because that is what you multiply 80 by

Step-by-step explanation:

Use proportions to solve

80/100 = x / 31

80*31 = 100x

2480 = 100x

x = 24.8

Answer:

The answer is "0.9258201 or $\bold{ \frac{0.36 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3 \times 0.7 }{50}}}}$ ".

Step-by-step explanation:

$\to P= 30 \ \%\\\\ \to x= 18 \\\\ \to n=50\\\\\\\hat p= \frac{x}{n} = \frac{18}{50} = 0.36 \\\\\bold{Formula:}\\\\X= \frac{\hat p -p}{\sqrt{\frac{p \times (1-p)}{n}}}\\\\$

$= \frac{0.36 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3 \times (1-0.3)}{50}}}\\\\= \frac{0.36 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3 \times 0.7 }{50}}}\\\\= \frac{0.36 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.21}{50}}}\\\\= \frac{0.06}{\sqrt{0.0042}}\\\\= \frac{0.06}{0.064807407}\\\\= 0.9258201$
