What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABP and triangle CDR are similar.  Thus, we can solve this problem for x using an equation of proportions:

hypotenuse     leg length

    15+42               10+x

----------------     =   ----------

       42                     x

Then (15+42)x  =  42(10+x) after cross multiplication

      57x            =  420 + 42x

Subtracting 42x from both sides, we get

      15x             =    420.

Dividing both sides by 15 results in

        x               =   28

-6 to the power of 4, is equivalent to: (-6) ^ 4

So we have to:

-6: It is the base

4: It is the exponent

Answer:

-6: It is the base

Suppose a population has a doubling time of 25 years. By what factor will it grow in 25 years? 50 years? In 100 years?
rewona [7]

Answer:

2,4, and 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the population has a doubling time of 25 years, that means that in 25 years the population will double. So for 25 years, the factor will be 2. For 50 years, the factor would be 2x2, which is 4. For 100 years, it is 4x2 which is a scale factor of 8.

Exactly 640 acres are in one square mile. how many square meters are in 2.2 acres
Tasya [4]
640 acres = 1 square mile

So we can say 1 acres = \frac{1}{640} square mile
                          
So in 2.2 acres = 2.2 *  \frac{1}{640} square mile
                         
                         = 0.0034375 square mile

In general one mile = 1609.344 meters

So one square mile = 1609.344 * 1609.344 square meter

                                = 2589988 square meter

So 0.0034375 square mile = 0.0034375 * 2589988
                                           = 8903.08375 square meter.

Admission to the zoo costs $15 per person. Which graph correctly represents the total cost for a group to visit the zoo? Total C
vampirchik [111]

Admission to the zoo costs $15 per person.

The graph y = 15x correctly represents the total cost for a group to visit the zoo.

Given;

Admission to the zoo costs per person = $15

Let:

The total number of people visiting the zoo = x

The total cost for a group to visit the zoo = y

So,  y ∝ x

y = 15x

Therefore, the graph y = 15x correctly represents the total cost for a group to visit the zoo.
