Answer:

16 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is basically asking :

what number multiplied with the least amount would give me the greatest amount??

Let that number be x, so we can say:

least amount * x = greatest amount

From the plot, we can see that least amount is 1/8 inches

The greatest amount is 2 inches

Now we can put it into the formula and find x:

1/8 * x = 2

x = 2/(1/8)

x = 16

Find the angle x (in degrees) that the wheelchair ramp makes with the ground.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

x=175

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all the degrees in a triangle is 180. First, you have to rind what the third degree of the triangle is. We will call this y.

85+90+y=180

175+y=180

y=5

The floor is flat, so it will be 180 degrees, therefore, x+y=180. We can substitute 5 in for y, so 5+x=180.

So, x would be 175.

Answer:

$\displaystyle \begin{cases} \displaystyle {x} _{1} = - p \\ \displaystyle x _{2} = - q \end{cases}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to solve the following equation for x:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{p + q + x}$

to do so isolate $\frac{1}{x}$ to right hand side and change its sign which yields:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{p + q + x} - \frac{1}{x}$

simplify Substraction:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = \frac{x - (q + p + x)}{x(p + q + x)}$

get rid of only x:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = \frac{ - (q + p )}{x(p + q + x)}$

simplify addition of the left hand side:

$\displaystyle \frac{q + p}{pq} = \frac{ - (q + p )}{x(p + q + x)}$

divide both sides by q+p Which yields:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{pq} = \frac{ -1}{x(p + q + x)}$

cross multiplication:

$\displaystyle x(p + q + x) = - pq$

distribute:

$\displaystyle xp + xq + {x}^{2} = - pq$

isolate -pq to the left hand side and change its sign:

$\displaystyle xp + xq + {x}^{2} + pq = 0$

rearrange it to standard form:

$\displaystyle {x}^{2} + xp + xq + pq = 0$

now notice we end up with a quadratic equation therefore to solve so we can consider factoring method to use so

factor out x:

$\displaystyle x( {x}^{} + p ) + xq + pq = 0$

factor out q:

$\displaystyle x( {x}^{} + p ) +q (x + p)= 0$

group:

$\displaystyle ( {x}^{} + p ) (x + q)= 0$

by Zero product property we obtain:

$\displaystyle \begin{cases} \displaystyle {x}^{} + p = 0 \\ \displaystyle x + q= 0 \end{cases}$

cancel out p from the first equation and q from the second equation which yields:

$\displaystyle \begin{cases} \displaystyle {x}^{} = - p \\ \displaystyle x = - q \end{cases}$

and we are done!
