Answer:
5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, distribute the 1/3 onto the x and the 4 in the parenthesis. That leaves you with
1/3x + 4/3 = 20
We want the x value by itself so we're going to subtract the 4/3 from the left and the right side, leaving us with
1/3x + 4/3 = 20 - 4/3
1/3x = 18 & 2/3 (since we're dealing with fractions, I'm going to change the 18 & 2/3 into an improper fraction just to make the next step easier.)
1/3x = 56/3
The last step is to divide the 1/3 off of the x, so x is by itself. To divide a fraction by a fraction, just flip the fraction you're dividing with and multiply.
56/3 x 3/1 = 56 (56 x 3 is 168, and 3 x 1 is 3, so when you reduce 168/3, you get 56)
So, 56 is our answer, because after dividing off the 1/3, we're left with x = 56
The ansa is y= -2/3 or -2
x= 2 or 4/3
Answer:
The value of x is 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the value of x, we first need to find the scale factor. We can find this by dividing any side of the larger triangle with the corresponding part of the smaller triangle.
28/7 = 4
This means everything in the larger triangle is 4 times as great as the smaller triangle. Knowing this, we can set the larger hypotenuse equal to 4 times the smaller.
6x + 28 = 4(25)
6x + 28 = 100
6x = 72
x = 12
