Help me solve (x+1)over(5)=(x+5)over(7)

(x + 1) / 5 = (x + 5) / 7

cross multiply

(x +1) x 7 = 5 x (x + 5)

7x + 7 = 5x + 25

take the like terms to one side

7x - 5x = 25 - 7

2x = 18

divide by 2 to isolate x

2x / 2 = 18 / 2

x = 9

check:

9 + 1 / 5 = 9 + 5 / 7

10 / 5 = 14 / 7

2 = 2

X=9. you cross multiply (x+1) with 7 so it becomes 7(x+1)= 5(x+5) then you distribute so you have 7x+7=5x+25. then you subtract 5x from both sides to get 2x+7=25 then subtract 7 from both sides to get 2x=18 then divide both sides by 2 to get x=9

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: 15/91 which is choice B

=================================================================

There are two methods to find this answer.

Method 1) We have 6 girls and 8+6 = 14 students. The probability of picking a girl is 6/14 = 3/7. After the first girl is chosen, we have 5 girls left out of 14-1 = 13 students overall. The probability of picking another girl (assuming the first selection was a girl) is 5/13. Multiply these probabilities: (3/7)*(5/13) = (3*5)/(7*13) = 15/91

--------------------

Method 2) We can use the nCr combination formula. Order does not matter.

We have nCr = 6 C 2 = 15 ways to pick 2 girls. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 1)

Out of nCr = 14 C 2 = 91 ways to pick 2 students. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 2)

So that's another way to get the answer 15/91.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

144 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the larger square, then subtract the area of the square we cut out.

The larger square has side length of 15, so it has an area of 15² = 225 in²

The smaller square has side length of 9, so it has an area of 9² = 81 in²

The area left over is

225 - 81 = 144 in²
