How do I solve for x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
siniylev [52]3 years ago

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

Lisa wants to use her calculator to square a two-digit positive integer, but she accidentally enters the tens digit incorrectly.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: Correct two digit number= 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x= tens digit (wrong one)

and y= zeroes digit

and z= tens digit (right one)

Now according to the statement,

(10x+y)² -  (10z+y)² = 2340

Simplifying this we get

(x-z)(5x+y+5z)= 117= 1 * 3 * 3 * 13

So it could either be

x-z=1 or x-z=3

If we take the x-z=1

then 5x+y+5z=117

which is not possible as maximum value we can get from this is 99.

This leaves us with x-z=3

so 5x+y+5z= 39

Put x=3+z

We get,

y+10z= 24

Now as y and z both are single digits so the only possible numbers to fit these are y=4 and z=2.

Put z=2 in x=3+z , we get x=5

So the numbers become 10x+y= 54

and 10z+y= 24

Their sum is 54+24=78

Check

54²-24²= 2340 so it is correct.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

94 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up and solve an equation of ratios:

wingspan         length

60 meters        70.5 m

----------------- = ----------------

80 cm                   x

Cross multiplying:

(60 m)x = (70.5 m)(80 cm)

Solve for x by dividing both sides of this equation by 60 m:

x = (70.5 m)(80 cm) / (60 m) = 94 cm

The length of the model should be 94 cm.
