Answer:

5/(3x+2) = 7/(5x-2)

<=>5*(5x-2) = 7*(3x+2) (x is not equal to -3/2 or 2/5)

<=> 25x -10 = 21x +14 (x is not equal to -3/2 or 2/5)

<=> 4x = 24 (x is not equal to -3/2 or 2/5)

<=> x = 6 (valid)

Sam needs 7 1/2 cups of orange juice to make punch for a group of her friends. She only has 5 1/3 cups. Write and solve an equat

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Equation is $x+\frac{16}{3}=\frac{15}{2}$ where $x$ denotes number of cups of orange juice needed by Sam.

$x=\frac{13}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ denotes number of cups of orange juice needed by Sam.

Number of cups needed to make punch $=7\frac{1}{2} =\frac{15}{2}$

Number of cups with Sam $=5\frac{1}{3}=\frac{16}{3}$

Therefore,

$x+\frac{16}{3}=\frac{15}{2}\\\\x= \frac{15}{2}-\frac{16}{3}\\\\x=\frac{45-32}{6}\\\\x=\frac{13}{6}$

Plzz help me with the correct ans find x

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, triangle ABC is the enlargement of triangle XYZ.

$\therefore \triangle ABC \sim \triangle XYZ$

So, corresponding sides of both the triangles would be in proportion.

$\therefore \frac{x}{6}=\frac{25}{10}$

$\therefore x= \frac{6\times 25}{10}$

$\therefore x =\frac{150}{10}$

$\therefore x = 15$

stepan [7]

Answer:

<em>The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling in several applications of real-life.

The human hair is magnified 150 times by a micro-phtograph. This is the scale factor.

The hair can be seen 2 cm wide in the photograph.

Converting to millimeters, 2 cm = 2*10 = 20 millimeters.

The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm
