Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 12

Discussion:

From the diagram, the two triangles appear to be similiar. Then

28/7 =  (6x + 28)  /25

as the ratio of corresponding parts of similar triangle are  the same.

28/7 = (6x +28)/25           => simplify. 28/7 = 4

4 = (6x + 28)/25                => multiply both sides by 25

4*25 = 6x + 28                  => simplify, 4 * 25 = 100

100 = 6x + 28                    => subtract 28 from both sides

100 -28 = 6x                      => simplify. 100 - 28 - 72

72 = 6x                               => divide both sides by 6

72/6 = 12 = x

Thank you,

MrB

The junior senator can do a labyrinth in 50 minutes. The senior senator can do a labyrinth in 30 minutes. Working together, how
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

225\:\text{minutes}

Step-by-step explanation:

To navigate through this problem, start by finding how much each senator can complete in a fixed amount of time. I'll choose 10 as it's the greatest common factor of 30 and 50.

In 10 minutes, the junior senator can complete \frac{10}{50}=\frac{1}{5} of the labyrinth.

In 10 minutes, the senior senator can complete \frac{10}{30}=\frac{1}{3} of the labyrinth.

Therefore, working together, they can complete \frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{8}{15} of the labyrinth in 10 minutes. Thus, it will take them \frac{15}{8}\cdot 10 \text{ minutes}=18.75\:\text{minutes} to complete one labyrinth.

The amount of time it take them to complete 12 labyrinths is then 18.75\cdot 12 =\boxed{225\:\text{minutes}}

Please help with an explanation!! will mark brainliest, not the best at fractions haha
Vitek1552 [10]
The correct answer is letter C; -6,
-5 2/5 or -27/5 and -4 1/5 or -21/5.

You can find this answers by substituting 1, 4, and 10 into the letter n.

Then you follow the operational order to get the answer.

Which equation describes a line perpendicular to the line described by? y=3x-5
Nat2105 [25]
A line perpendicular means that the slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope given. Since m=3 in the given equation, the slope in the perpendicular line has to be m = -1/3. The y-intercept can be any number. 

So a line perpendicular would be y = -1/3x + b

Since you can plug anything into b, you can get many different answers. For example, y = -1/3x + 7 or y = -1/3x - 2

These two rectangles are similar which is a correct proportion for corresponding sides
hammer [34]

to make the proportion we make the ratio of the similar sides

For example

4/8 = 12/x

or we can write it as 4/12 = 8/x

or 12/x = 4/8

So last option is correct
