The correct answer is 8. See the steps below:

1. We will use x for the unknown number.

2. X^2+24=5x according to the given info.

3. Move everything to one side.

X^2-5x-24=0
(X-8)(x+3)=0

X is 8 or -3.

However, the problem said positive number. So we can ignore the -3, the correct answer is 8.

A circle has a circumference of 25.12 inches what is the diameter of the circle
BigorU [14]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall these two equations for circumference and diameter.

Circumference = 2*pi*radius

Diameter = radius*2

25.12 = 2*pi*radius

Radius = 4

Diameter = 4*2 => 8

Thus the diameter is 8

The two triangles are similar.
Neko [114]

Given that the triangles are similar.

When triangles are similar, all three pairs of corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

Similarly in the given triangles, the ratio of the corresponding sides are equal.

\frac{8}{2x-2}= \frac{8+6}{3x}

\frac{8}{2x-2}= \frac{14}{3x}

Cross multiplying, we get

8 \times 3x = 14 \times (2x-2)

24x = 28x-28

-4x = -28

Dividing both sides of the equation by -4.

So, we get

x = 7.

Exit Ticket: At noon, a tank has a water depth of 9 in. After 3 hours, the depth was 8 inches. At 6pm, the depth was 7 inches. W
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The  straight line equation is:

y = m*x  + b     Where m is the slope of the line and b the intercept with   y-axis, in our case y is the depth of the tank and x (time in lapsus of 3 hours).

The slope m  =  ( y₂ -  y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁)

We have point  A ( 3 , 8 )  and point  B ( 6 , 7 )

m  = ( 6 - 3 ) / (7 - 8 )  m = -3

We see that  each 3 hours time-depth decreases  1 in.

Then   to find the depth at the beginning of x-axis

At  noon     12   tank was  9 inches, three hours before at 9 in the morning the depth was 10 inches and:

9  in the morning   10

6  in the morning   11

3  in the midnight   12

12 in the night         13

Then 13 is the intercept with y-axis

then the equation is:

h = - 3*x + 13

Note x is time in lapsus  of 3 hours
