Solve 2 1/2 divided by 5 1/3 = 8/x

Mathematics

2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \quad divided\quad by\quad 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \\ \\ 2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =2+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \\ \\ 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =5+\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 15+1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 16 }{ 3 } \\ \\ \\ \frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 }  }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 }  }

We're dividing fractions, so we will flip the one in the denominator upside down and we will multiply it with the numerator.

\frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 }  }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 }  } \quad =\quad \frac { 5 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 3 }{ 16 } =\frac { 5\cdot 3 }{ 2\cdot 16 } =\frac { 15 }{ 32 }

Let's equal this too 8/x

\frac { 15 }{ 32 } =\frac { 8 }{ x }

Cross multiply. 

8\cdot 32=15\cdot x\\ \\ 256=15x

Divide both sides by 15.

\frac { 256 }{ 15 } =\frac { 15x }{ 15 } \\ \\ \frac { 256 }{ 15 } =x

10. Write an inequality relating the measure of angle 1 to the measure of angle 2
patriot [66]
The two triangles are isosceles.

Both triangles have the equals sides equal to 6

Both ∠ 1 and the ∠2 are the opposite angles to the different side of their respective triangles.

The opposite side to ∠ 1 is shorter than the opposite side to ∠ 2, which implies that ∠1 is less than ∠2.

Then the inequality that relates those angles is

 ∠1 < ∠2

Solve x2 = 12x - 15 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

(6-√21,  6+√21)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 12x = -15

(x - 6)^2 - 36 = -15

(x - 6)^2 = 21

x - 6 = ± √21

x = 6  ± √21
