How do I solve for x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
siniylev [52]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x=35.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are Similar,

So using the property of similar triangles:

\\\\\frac{39}{x-6}=\frac{27}{y} =\frac{24}{18}  

To Find 'x':

\frac{39}{x-6} =\frac{24}{18}

On Cross multiplication:

39*18=24(x-6)\\\\39*18=24(x)+24(-6)\\\\702=24x-144\\

Adding '144' both sides:

702+144=24x\\\\24x=846\\\\x=\frac{846}{24} \\\\

x=35.25

Does Emiliano need more than 1 stick of butter or less than 1 stick of butter for the corn bread and the apple muffins?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Emilio needs less than 1 stick of butter

Step-by-step explanation:

Emilio needs 1/2 stick of butter to make cornbread . He also needs 1/4 stick of butter to make apple muffins . Does Emilio need more than I stick of butter to make both recepes or less than 1 stick of butter ? How do you know?

Cornbread = 1/2 stick of butter

Apple muffins = 1/4 stick of butter

Total sticks of butter = cornbread + apple muffins

= 1/2 + 1/4

= (2+1) / 4

= 3/4 stick of butter

= 0.75 stick of butter

0.75 stick of butter is less than 1 stick of butter

Therefore,

Emilio needs less than 1 stick of butter

The area of a rectangle is 63m^2 and the length of the rectangle is 11m more than twice the width. Find the length and width.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

width = 3.5 m

length = 18 m

Step-by-step explanation:

area = length x width

x is the width then length = 2x + 11

x(2x + 11) = 63

2x^2 + 11x - 63 = 0

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is equal to x = [-b +/-√(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a

with a = 2

       b = 11

       c = -63

substitute in the formula

x = [-11 +/- √(11^2 - 4(2)(-63))]2(2)

x = [-11 +/- √(121 + 504)]/4

x = [-11 +/- √625]/4

x = (-11 +/- 25)/4

x1 = (-11 + 25)/4 = 14/4 = 3.5

x2 = (-11 - 25)/4 = -36/4 = -9

since width can't be a negative number, x is 3.5

length = 2x + 11 = 2(3.5) + 11 = 18

Which steps would you use to plot the point (7, −6, −5) in a 3-dimensional coordinate system starting from the origin?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

B. move forward 7, left 6, and down 5

Step-by-step explanation:

By the <u>convention of 3D geometr</u>y, the coordinates of a point (x,y,z) represent how far the point is from the origin forward-backward , right/left , up-down respectively with prior one for the positive coordinate and latter for the negative coordinate.

so we need to move forward 7 for x=7 then to left 6 for y=-6 and then down 5 for z=-5.
