X/5 = 8/9
this is a proportion, so we cross multiply
(9)(x) = (5)(8)
9x = 40
x = 40/9 or 4 4/9
Answer:
Well the ineqaulity here would be
y/8 > 10
Or in simpler terms
y ÷ 8 > 10
If you were to solve
y > 80
Move the 150 to the left to get x^2+5x-150=0
Then factor to (x+15)(x-10)=0
The roots are -15 and 10
The positive root is 10
Answer:
Answer 7
Step-by-step explanation:
This depends on setting up a proportion
5:45 :: 3: 3 + 2x + 10
You can reduce 5 / 45
5/45 = 1/9
1:9 :: 3:3 + 2x + 10
1:9 :: 3: 2x + 13
1/9 = 3/(2x + 13) Cross Multiply
2x + 13 = 3*9
2x + 13 = 27 Subtract 13
2x + 13 - 13 = 27 - 13
2x = 14 Divide by 2
2x/2 = 14/2 Divide
x = 7
Think of it like this:
of = multiplication of the equation
is= equals
and whatever you are looking for is your variable
so....
.40 times X = 56
