My late response (haha): First, you would write a proportion.

Step 1: 2496 over 48 = x over 31
(x represents the area of the land that is not fenced).

Step 2: Cross multiply
2496 times 31 and x times 48

Step 3: Calculate
77376 = 48x

Step 4: Divide both sides by 48
77376/48 = 1612
48x/48 = x

Step 5: Write it as a sentence 
The area of the land that is not fenced is 1612 squared meters. 

Hope that helped! Good luck! :]

What is the value of x?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br><br> _____ units
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve this problem.  Put the side of the small triangle over the same side of the larger triangle.

x               42

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

x+10           42+15

Simplify

x               42

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

x+10           57

Using cross products

57x = 42 (x+10)

Distribute

57x = 42x+420

Subtract 42x from each side

57x-42x = 42x-42x +420

15x = 420

Divide each side by 15

15x/15 = 420/15

x=28

Help pleaseeee???!!!
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

h=8

Step-by-step explanation:\frac{-7}{8} h= -7\\\\(\frac{8}{-7} )(\frac{-7}{8} h)= -7 (\frac{8}{-7} )\\\\\frac{-56}{-56}h = \frac{56}{7}\\\\ h=\frac{56}{7}\\\\h=8

the goal is to isolate the variable, get it all by itself. to do that in this problem, we have to move the -7/8 away from the h. we do this by multiplying by the reciprocal (the opposite of the fraction). The reciprocal of -7/8 is 8/-7. So multiply both sides by this and you will get h=8
