The computer cost is $3000

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • The ratio of the price of a tv to the price of a computer is 13 : 15
  • The tv 400 dollars cheaper than the computer

We need to find the cost of the computer

Assume that the price of the computer is $x

∵ The ratio between the prices of the tv and the computer is 13 : 15

∵ The price of the computer is $x

∵ The price of the tv 400 dollars cheaper than the computer

- That means the price of the tv is less than the price of the

  computer by $400

∴ The price of the tv is $(x - 400)

By using the ratio method

→  tv              :    computer

→  13              :    15

→  (x - 400)   :    x

By using the cross multiplication

∴ 15(x - 400) = 13(x)

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 15x - 6000 = 13x

- Add 6000 to both sides

∴ 15x = 13x + 6000

- Subtract 13x from both sides

∴ 2x = 6000

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 3000

The computer cost is $3000

Secant jkl and jmn are drawn to circle o from an external point ,j. if jk=8,lk=4 and jm=6 what is the length of jn answer
Archy [21]
See the picture attached to better understand the problem

we know that
If two secant segments are drawn to a <span>circle </span><span>from an exterior point, then the product of the measures of one secant segment and its external secant segment is equal to the product of the measures of the other secant segment and its external secant segment.
</span>so
jl*jk=jn*jm------> jn=jl*jk/jm

we have
<span>jk=8,lk=4 and jm=6
</span>jl=8+4----> 12

jn=jl*jk/jm-----> jn=12*8/6----> jn=16

the answer is
jn=16

If the area of the rectangle avove is 180 spuare inches, then x =
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Given the dimension of the length and area of the rectangle, the dimension of the breadth x is 9in.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

This question is incomplete, the missing diagram is uploaded along this answer below.

<h3>What is the value of x?</h3>

Area of a rectangle is expressed as; A = l × b

Given that;

  • Length of the rectangle l = 20in
  • Breadth b = x
  • Area A = 180in²

A = l × b

180in² = 20in × x

x = 180in² / 20in

x = 9in

Given the dimension of the length and area of the rectangle, the dimension of the breadth x is 9in.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.
