Which of the following is a correct proportion?

Mathematics
2 answers:
rodikova [14]3 years ago

First, we'll solve A.

2 x2 = 4

3 x2 = 9

3x2=6, not 9.

So it is not A.

5 x2 = 10

7 x2 = 11

7x2=14, not 11.

So B. is out too.

It isn't D. because 12/9 is improper and 3/4 isn't.

So C. is left.

4 x2 = 8

6 x2 = 12

hope it helps!

<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3><h3>4/6 = 8/12</h3>

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

Explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices

-----------

Choice A.

Assume that the given equation here is correct. If so, then we can cross multiply to get

2/3 = 4/9

2*9 = 3*4

18 = 12

The last equation is false, so the first equation is also false. Choice A is not the answer.

-------------

Choice B.

We could do the similar trick as with choice A, but I'll use another method.

Use your calculator to find that

5/7 = 0.714 approx

10/11 = 0.909 approx

We get different decimal values for each fraction, so there's no way the two sides are the same. Choice B is crossed off the list.

-------------

Choice C.

I'll use another method here. Note how the denominators are 6 and 12, and how 6*2 = 12. If we multiply top and bottom of 4/6 by 2, then

(4/6)*(2/2) = (4*2)/(6*2) = 8/12

meaning that 4/6 = 8/12 is a true equation. We can see it through cross multiplication

4/6 = 8/12

4*12 = 6*8

48 = 48

or we could use our calculator to find that

4/6 = 0.667 approx

8/12 = 0.667 approx

Another calculator trick you can use is type in "4/6 - 8/12" without quotes and you should get 0 (or very close to it) as a result. This is using the idea that if x = y, then x-y = 0.

Choice C is the answer

----------------

Choice D.

Since we found the answer, we technically don't need to check choice D. But let's do so anyway.

Right off the bat, we know that 3/4 is less than one, while 12/9 is greater than one. So there's no way 3/4 = 12/9 could be true.

4x + 2y = -12 3x + y = -10 please help system by substitution.
padilas [110]

Answer:

(-4, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2y=-12

3x+y=-10

Start by dividing the first equation by 2 to simplify it...

2x+y=-6

Then, subtract -2x from both sides to isolate y...

y=-2x-6

Substitute -2x-6 for y in the second equation...

3x-2x-6=-10

Combine like terms...

x-6=-10

Add 6 to both sides

x-6+6=-10+6

x=-4

Plug -4 in for x to solve for y:

3(-4)+y=-10

-12+y=-10

Add 12 to both sides

-12+12+y=-10+12

y=2

(x,y)=(-4,2)

The value of c is equal to _____.
DENIUS [597]

For this case we have that by definition, the Pythagorean theorem states that:

c = \sqrt {a ^ 2 + b ^ 2}

Where:

a, b: Are the legs

c: It is the hypotenuse

According to the figure we have to:

a = 20\\b = 21

Substituting in the formula we have:

c = \sqrt {(20) ^ 2 + (21) ^ 2}\\c = \sqrt {400 + 441}\\c = \sqrt {841}\\c = 29

Answer:

Option D

H(t)=480t-16t^2<br><br> solve for t <br><br> PLEASE SHOW WORK
Andru [333]

Answer:

x = √30 or -√30

Step-by-step explanation:

480 - 16x^2 = 0

divide both sides by 16

30 - x^2 = 0

-x^2 + 30 = 0

-x^2 = -30

X^2 = 30

x = ± √30

x = √30 or -√30
