Answer:

x  = 6.6 and DE = 16.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the attachment to solve segment DE is missing. However, see attached for complete question.

Given

\frac{5}{9}= \frac{9}{(2x+3)}

Required

Find x

Length of DE

To find x, we need to first simplify the given equation

\frac{5}{9}= \frac{9}{(2x+3)}

Multiply both sides by 9(2x+3)

\frac{5}{9} * 9(2x + 3) = \frac{9}{(2x+3)} * 9(2x + 3)

5(2x + 3) = 9(9)

10x + 15 = 81

Subtract 15 from both sides

10x + 15 - 15 = 81 - 15

10x  = 66

Divide both sides by 10

\frac{10x}{10}  = \frac{66}{10}

x  = \frac{66}{10}

x  = 6.6

From the attached;

DE = 2x + 3

Substitute 6.6 for x

DE = 2(6.6) + 3

DE = 13.2 + 3

DE = 16.2

Hence x  = 6.6 and DE = 16.2

Which of the following is equal to 5/8÷2/7?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

5/8 * 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you divide fractions, you can use the 'keep change flip' method.

You keep 5/8, change the division sign to multiplication, and then flip the second fraction.

1. 5/8 / 7/2  -  Keep 5/8

2. 5/8 * 7/2  -  Change division sign

3. 5/8 * 2/7  -  Flip the second fraction, 7/2 -> 2/7
