Mathematics
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, you need to set up a proportion:

\frac{x-2}{15} = \frac{x-1}{18}

Then cross multiply:

15x - 15 = 18x + 36

Then subtract 15x from both sides:

-15 = 3x + 36

Subtract 36 from both sides:

-51 = 3x

Finally, divide both sides by 3:

x = -7

Hello! Can anyone please help me? The topic is angles.​
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

29/4   or   7.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Complimentary angles are two angles that add up to 90

Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180

Angle ABC = x

Angle CBD = 7y + 4

Angle DBE = 8y + x

If we can find the measure of angle CBD, then we can find x.

We know that CBD + DBE = 180  because they are supplementary. Therefore...

(7y + 4)  +  (8y + x)  =  180

      AND

(7y + 4)  +  (x)  = 90

Now we can use algebra to solve for x and y...

Blah blah blah...

x  =  29/4

y  =  45/4

Is 5/8 a rational number?
bearhunter [10]
5/8 is a rational number because 5/8 as a percentage is 62.5. As long as the number doesn't go on forever without any patterns, it will be a rational number. If it does go on forever and doesn't have a pattern then it is an irrational number.

Consider the function represented by 9x+3y= 12 with x as the independent variable. How can this function be written
Brums [2.3K]

Well, function is already written in "function notation" though not explicitly which I assume is "function notation".

Explicit notation for this function is:

f(x)=4-3x

Hope this helps.
