Answer:
a = 30
b = 40
C
Step-by-step explanation:
This requires that you use a proportion.
a / (a + 15) = 40 / 60
The small triangle's sides are in proportion to the large triangles sides.
Reduce the right. Divide top and bottom by 20
a/(a + 15) = 40/20 // 60/20
a/(a + 15) = 2/3
Cross multiply
3a = 2(a + 15) Remove the brackets on the right.
3a = 2a + 30
Subtract 2a from both sides
3a-2a = 30
a = 30
Find B
b is done exactly the same way.
b/(b+20) = 2/3
3b = 2b + 40
3b - 2b = 40
b = 40
The missing value is 6 so 2/5 = 6/15
Answer:
1200
Explanation:
Order does not matter, if we said xyz order, it would still not make a difference if it was zyx or yzx hence we use the combination formula:
nCr = n! / r! * (n - r)!
where n= total number of items
r= number of items chosen at a time
Combinations are used when the order of events do not matter in calculating the outcome.
We calculate using the formula:
(30×20×12)÷3!=1200
There are therefore 1200 ways for the three distinct items to not be in same row or column
Here's how to find the value of x:
<span>9 - 0.75 ( x + 8 ) - 5 = -6.5 find the difference of 9 - 0.75
</span><span>8.25 ( x + 8 ) - 5 = -6.5 add 5 to both sides
</span>
8.25 ( x + 8 ) = -1.5 distribute 8.25 to x and 8
8.25x + 66 = -1.5 subtract 66 from both sides
8.25x = -67.5 divide both sides by 8.25
x = 18.18181818...... the value of x is 18 2/11
hope this helps
Answer:
c(x-3)-4=b(x+7)
(cx-c•3)-4=b(x+7)
cx-3c-4=b(x+7)
cx-3c-4=bx+b•7
-3c-7b-4=bx-cx
x(b-c)=-3c-7b-4
x(b-c)/b-c = -3c-7b-4/b-c
x=-3c+7b+4/b-c
