Answer:

  23.  x = 4; DE = 44

  24.  x = 25; DS = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

23. Point S is the midpoint of DE, so ...

  DS = SE

  3x +10 = 6x -2

  12 = 3x . . . . . . . . . add 2-3x

  4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Then DS has length ...

  DS = 3x +10 = 12 +10 = 22

and DE is twice that length, so ...

  DE = 44

__

24. DS is half the length of DE, so is ...

  DS = DE/2 = 56/2

  DS = 28

Then x can be found from ...

  DS = x +3

  28 -3 = x = 25 . . . . . substitute value for DS

_____

<em>Comment on problem 24</em>

Sometimes it is easier to work parts of a problem out of sequence. Here, finding DS first makes finding x easier.

IF THE TRIANGLES IN THE ABOVE FIGURE ARE PROPORTIONAL, WHATS THE LENGTH OF SIDE B?
Tema [17]
<h3>Answer: choice B) 36</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

The vertical sides, when read from left to right, can be divided to get this fraction: 9/90

Following the same order and direction, we divide the slanting corresponding sides to get: b/360

The fractions we constructed are equal to one another, as the triangles are said to be proportional.

We have the fraction 9/90 = b/360

Lets cross multiply and solve for b

--------------------

9/90 = b/360

9*360 = 90*b

3240 = 90b

90b = 3240

90b/90 = 3240/90

<h3>b = 36</h3>

--------------------

A quick way to do this may be to notice how the jump from 9 to 90 is "times 10" so the jump from b to 360 is also "times 10". Think in reverse to divide 360 over 10 and we land on 36 as our answer. This line of thinking does not work as simple for all proportional problems.

Select the lengths in centimeters that would form a right triangle
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

9, 40 and 41

Step-by-step explanation:

All right triangle have lengths that follow the Pythagorean Theorem (a²+b² = c²).  Right triangles have one angle equal to 90°.  The two shorter sides form the right angle and the side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.  

Using the lengths given, we can use guess and check to see what sum of two sides squared would equal a third side, or just plug them into the equation: a²+b² = c² and see what lengths fit this equation.  

I recommend starting with squares you are familiar with:

9² + 40²= 81 + 1600 = 1681

Now, take the √1681 to find the length of 'c', or the hypotenuse:

√1681  = 41

Since these three lengths fit the Pythagorean Theoreom, the would form a right triangle.

A radiator contains 10 quarts of fluid, 30% of which is antifreeze. How much fluid should be drained and replaced with pure anti
babymother [125]

Answer:

1 3/7 quarts should be drained off and replaced with pure antifreeze.

1 3/7 ≈ 1.4286

Current amount of antifreeze in quarts is -

30/ 100 × 10 = 3

40% ---> 4 quarts

Let the amount drained of and replaced with antifreeze be x-

The amount left after draining off is 10 − x.

The amount of antifreeze  is 30/ 100 (10−x).

30/100(10-x)+x=4

3-3/10x+x=4

3+x(1-3/10)=4

x=1*10/7=1 3/7 quarts

check;

10- 1 3/7 = 8 4/7

=(30/100*8 4/7)+1 3/7

=(3/10 * 60/7) + 10/7

=3*6/7 + 10/7

=28/7

=4

4 liters of pure antifreeze is mixed into 10 quarts.
