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

The answer should not depend on which machine or which pencil you use to
find it.  If you work a problem two different ways and get two different answers,
then at least one of them is wrong, and there's a pretty good chance that both
of them are.

(9.99 of anything) + (1.11 of the same thing) = 11.1 of them

9.99 (x 10^-2) + 1.11 (x 10^-2) = <em>11.1 (x 10^-2)</em> .

Can we do any more with that ?

10^-2  =  1 / 10^2  =  1 / 100 .

11.1 x 10^-2  =  11.1 / 100  =  <em>0.111</em>

Melissa was charged $3 each time she
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Therefore, Melissa will be charged $72 for busing work ATM 24 times in a month

Step-by-step explanation:

Melissa was charged $3 each time she used the ATM at work

She used the work ATM 24 times in a month.

Charge per usage= $3

Number of times of usage= 24

By how much did her bank account change from using the ATM at work

Total charges = charge per usage × Number of times of usage

= 3 × 24

= 72

Total charges = $72

Therefore, Melissa will be charged $72 for busing work ATM 24 times in a month
