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

Diego and Lin are drinking milkshakes. Lin starts with 12 ounces and drinks 1/4 an ounce per second. Diego starts with 20 ounces
sammy [17]

Answer:

Lin = 48 seconds  

Diego = 30 seconds  

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to divide the total ounces of drink by the amount that each one drank per second, for each case.

Mathematically speaking:

Lin = 12 ounces / (1/4) ounces/second = 12/ (1/4) = 48 seconds  

Diego = 20 ounces / (2/3) ounces/second = 20/ (2/3) = 30 seconds  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
