Answer:

First, we need to calculate for x. Since,

MP = PN

Thus,

3x-4 = x+4

2x = 8

x = 4

Next, we calculate for MS

MS = 2x + 2 = 10

Since, MS = 2SQ

10 = 2SQ

Then,

SQ = 5 units

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

What is the multiplicative inverse of the sum of 1/3 + 1/5 ? Express in simplest form

Dima020 [189]

$\frac{8}{15}$

My Work/Reasoning:
First we find the sum of 1/3 and 1/5. $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{15} + \frac{3}{15} = \frac{8}{15}$
Then, we find the multiplicative inverse, I guess it's also known as the reciprocal. $\frac{8}{15}$ turns into $\frac{15}{8}$
Finally, we simplify. $\frac{15}{8}=1 \frac{7}{8}$

16/3x-4=5/x solve for x

katovenus [111]

16/3x-4 = 5/x

16x = 5(3x - 4)

16x = 15x - 20

16x - 15x = -20

x = -20

Write one problem using a dollar amount of $420 and a percent of 40%. Provide a solution to your problem. Please help I'm desper

You could do :
Johnny was financing a limited editions Xbox One S. The price was $420 and he put down 40%. How much is left to be financed?
dp=420(40/100)=16800/100=168
then you would subtract 420-168 which would give you 252
