If UV=x+13 and RT=x-37, What is the value of x?

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 87

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio SR / RV is equal the ratio ST / TU (both ratios are equal to 1), and the angle in the vertex S is the same for both triangles SUV and STR, so we can affirm that these triangles are similar (case S-A-S).

Then, we have that the ratio SR / SV is the same as RT / UV:

SR / SV = RT / UV = 1 / 2

RT * 2 = UV

2*(x - 37) = x + 13

2x - 74 = x + 13

x = 87

The scatter plot shows the amount of sunlight some tomato plants received and the amount of each plant grew

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is attached herewith.

Also the options for the same are as follows -

What is the meaning of the slope of the trend line shown on the scatterplot?

A A plant grows about 3 inches for every 2 hours of sunlight it receives.

B A plant grows about 2 inches for every 3 hours of sunlight it receives.

C A plant grows about 3 inches for every 1 hour of sunlight it receives.

D A plant grows about 1 inch for every 3 hours of sunlight it receives.

Solution

If we look at the graph, we can see that in 6 hours the tomato plant grew by 2 inches.

At the X axis, when x = 6 hours, the y co-ordinate at X = 6 hours is 2 inches.

Hence, It can be interpreted that 1 inch of the tomato plant grows in 3 hours.

Hence, option D is correct

Mr.Mason takes two-thirds of his body weight and drinks that amount of gatorade in ounces per day. If Mr.Mason drinks 118 ounces

denis-greek [22]

The total weight of Mason is 177

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Mr.Mason takes two-thirds of his body weight and drinks that amount of gatorade in ounces per day

Mr.Mason drinks 118 ounces each day

Let "x" be the total weight of Mr.Mason

Therefore, we can say,

Two third of body weight = Amount of gatorade drank in ounces per day

Two third of x = 118

$\frac{2}{3} \text{ of } = 118\\\\\frac{2}{3} \times x = 118\\\\2x = 118 \times 3\\\\2x = 354\\\\x = \frac{354}{2}\\\\x = 177$

Thus total weight of Mason is 177
