What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]3 years ago

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

Trey reads 10 pages in 25 minutes. At the rate, how many pages will he read in 45 minutes?
neonofarm [45]
Answer: 18 pages

======================================

Explanation:

Trey reads 10 pages in 25 minutes, which means we have the ratio 
10 pages: 25 minutes

Divide each part of the ratio by 25
10 pages: 25 minutes
10/25 pages: 25/25 minutes
0.4 pages: 1 minute

So Trey's unit rate is 0.4 pages per minute. In one minute, Trey reads 0.4 of a page

Now multiply both sides of the last ratio by 45
0.4 pages: 1 minute
45*0.4 pages: 45*1 minute
18 pages: 45 minutes

Which is why the answer is 18 pages
It takes Trey 45 minutes to read 18 pages
Or in other words, Trey reads 18 pages in 45 minutes.
