Answer:
PT = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Since T is the midpoint of PQ, then
PT = TQ , substitute values
4x + 5 = 8x - 7 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
5 = 4x - 7 ( add 7 to both sides )
12 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )
3 = x
Thus
PT = 4x + 5 = 4(3) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17
Answer:
x = 2.5y
Step-by-step explanation:
If a cow can give 5 gallons of milk after eating 2 pounds of grass.
Let's consider 'x' is the number of pounds of grass it eats and 'y' is the number of gallons of milk the cow gives.
Hence,
5y = 2x
We will simplify it to get what x equal to y by dividing 2 on both side we find,
x = 2.5y
x is equal to 2.5 y
By eating 1 pound of grass cow can give 2.5 gallons of milk.
Answer:
AC=15
BC=17
AB=?
According to Pythagore's Theorem: AB² + AC² = BC².
AB² = BC² - AC²
= (17)² - (15)²
= 289 - 225
AB² = 64
AB = √(64)
= 8.
So AB = 8.
Answer:
the sqare root of 19.9 is 4.46094160464
One way in which to approach this problem would be to treat it as an equation of ratios and to cross multiply:
<span>[(4x + 15) / 5x)] = 1/2 could be written as:
4x + 15 1
----------- = ---
5x 2
Then 8x + 30 = 5x
3x = -30, and so x = -10 (answer). Be certain to check this answer through substitution!
