Solve the porportions. First, cross multiply

7/(x - 4) = 42/12

(7/(x-4))(x-4)(12) = (42/12)(12)(x-4)

7(12) = 42(x-4)

Simplify. (remember to distribute the 42 to both x and -4

84 = 42x - 168

Isolate the x. First add 168 to both sides

84 (+168) = 42x - 168 (+168)

42x = 84 + 168

42x = 252

Finally, isolate the x by dividing 42 from both sides

42x/42 = 252/42

x = 252/42

x = 6

6 is your answer

hope this helps

A school wants to put on a dance recital Middle School dancers have short programs that run 4 minutes long High School performer

sp2606 [1]

Answer: The answer is $\textup{M}+\textup{H}\leq 10~~\textup{and}4\textup{M}+7\textup{H}\leq 90.$

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a school wants to put on a dance recital. The programs of Middle school dancer will be short of 4 minutes each and programmes of High school performers will be long of 7 minutes each.

Number of middle school dances is "M" and number od high school dances is "H".

Since there cannot be more than 10 dances all together, so fisrt inequality can be written as

$\textup{M}+\textup{H}\leq 10.$

Also, the entire recital must take maximum 90 minutes, so the second inequality can be written as

$4\textup{M}+7\textup{H}\leq 90.$

Thus, the pair of inequalities is

$\textup{M}+\textup{H}\leq 10,\\\\4\textup{M}+7\textup{H}\leq 90.$

The model A CDs burner burns 60 minutes of data in about 1.15 minutes. The model B CD burner Burns 60 minutes of data inanity 1.

Ivanshal [37]

1.15/3 = 20 minutes worth = 0.383
60 minutes+20 minutes=80 minutes = 1.15+0.383=1.53

1.5/3 = 0.5 = 20 minutes
60 minutes+20 minutes=80 minutes =1.5+0.5=2

2-1.53=0.47 therefore it is 0.47 minutes quicker with Model A
