You need to set this up with a proportion and solve. 18/x-5 = 13.5/12.
cross multiply 13.5x-67.5=216
now solve for x
13.5x=283.5
x=21
the missing side is equal to 21-5, which is equal to16
Drop the percent sign so that you only have 96 then divide by 100 to get the decimal (or move the decimal place to the left two).
96% --- drop the percent
96 ----- move the decimal place over to or divide by 100
96/100
96.0
.96
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:

Add 1/2 to both sides.



Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We can write the equation of a line in 3 different forms including slope intercept, point-slope, and standard depending on the information we have. We have two standard form equations which we will get a slope and a y-intercept from. We will convert each to slope intercept form to get the information. We will then write a new slope-intercept equation and convert to standard form.
3x-5y=7 has the same slope as the line. Let's convert.


The slope is
.
2y-9x=8 has the same y-intercept as the line. Let's convert.


The y-intercept is 4.
We take
and b=4 and substitute into y=mx+b.

We now convert to standard form.

For standard form we need the coefficients of x and y to be not zero or fractions. We need integers but the coefficient of x cannot be negative. So we multiply the entire equation by -5 to clear the denominators.


Solve the above equations,

First term is -13.
