During a 60-minute period, a traffic engineer counted 54 trucks and cars that crossed a bridge. The ratio of trucks to cars that

travel across the bridge is usually 2:7. The equation LaTeX: \frac{2}{7}=\frac{t}{54-t}2 7 = t 54 − t can be used to predict the number of trucks, t, the engineer should have counted. How many trucks should the engineer have counted?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression for the equation representing the prediction of number of trucks as;

2/7 = t/54-t where t is the number of trucks

To get the number of trucks t, we will have to evaluate the expression and solve for t as shown;

Given 2/7 = t/54-t

Cross multiply

2(54-t) = 7t

Open the parenthesis

2(54)-2t = 7t

108-2t = 7t

7t+2t = 108

9t = 108

Divide both sides by 9

9t/9 = 108/9

t = 21

Hence the engineers should have counted 21trucks

andriy [413]

Answer:

W=32

L=70

Step-by-step explanation:

L=2w+6

204=2L+2W

204=2w+2(2w+6)

204=2w+4w+12

192=6w

w=32

L=2(32)+6

L=70

Answer:

incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of a cube = s³ ( where s is the length of the side )

to find s take the cube root

s = \sqrt[3]{27} = 3

since 3 × 3 × 3 = 27

Find the value if x and if nessesary express your answer as a simplified radical
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

10 rad 3 / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x = missing angle of the full traingle

180 - (90 + 60) = x

180 - 150 = x

30 = x

10 rad 3 / 2 = x

this is just my understanding of the problem- im sorry if im incorrect

I'm confused about how to find x.
NikAS [45]
Hi! so you would find x by adding the corners up to 180 degrees.

steps:
Add the corners
90+(2x+1)+(5x+5)
7x+96=180
then subtract 96 from 180
you’d get 7x = 84
then divide 7 on both sides and get x=12
