-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{s^2}}{\sqrt{s^2}}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}\\\\

-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{smaller}{larger}\qquad \cfrac{h}{h}=\cfrac{\sqrt{base}}{\sqrt{base}}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}=\sqrt{\cfrac{base}{base}}\implies \left( \cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=\cfrac{base}{base}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1^2}{2^2}=\cfrac{base}{base}\implies \cfrac{1}{4}=\cfrac{base}{base}\\\\

\bf \cfrac{smaller}{larger}\qquad \cfrac{h}{h}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{volume}}{\sqrt[3]{volume}}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}=\sqrt[3]{\cfrac{volume}{volume}}

\left( \cfrac{1}{2} \right)^3=\cfrac{volume}{volume}

\cfrac{smaller}{larger}\qquad \cfrac{1}{8}=\cfrac{\stackrel{volume}{v}}{\stackrel{volume}{400}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 400}{8}=v

Which value for x makes the sentence true? 1/10 + x = 1/7
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

3/70

Step-by-step explanation:

change 1/10 and 1/7 so the denominator (bottom number) is the same.  1/10= 7/70 and 1/7= 10/70 so you need 3/70 to make the two numbers equal.

Help please ! Math problem
morpeh [17]

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5=(−4)(8)+b

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5=(−4)(8)+b

5=−32+b

5=b−32

Step 2: Flip the equation.

b−32=5

Step 3: Add 32 to both sides.

b−32+32=5+32

b=37

See the attachment below for the question.
tangare [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is third option

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

4ˣ = 8⁽ˣ ⁻ ¹⁾

<u>To find the value of x</u>

4ˣ  = (2²)ˣ

8⁽ˣ ⁻ ¹⁾ = (2³)⁽ˣ ⁻ ¹⁾

4ˣ = 8⁽ˣ ⁻ ¹⁾

(2²)ˣ =  (2³)⁽ˣ ⁻ ¹⁾

2²ˣ = 2⁽³ˣ ⁻ ³⁾

2x = 3x - 3

3x - 2x = 3

x = 3

The correct answer is third option

x = 3
