Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, using ratios

x 8

------ = -----------

18 48

We can use cross products to solve

48x = 8*18

48x = 144

Divide each side by 48

48x/48 = 144/48

x =3

Two-thirds a number plus 4 is 7

ICE Princess25 [194]

The equation (form) is: $\frac{2}{3}x + 4 = 7$

The solution of the equation is: $x = \frac{9}{2}$

Explanation:

First, let's call the number we are going to solve for "x".

Then two thirds of this number can be written as:

$\frac{2}{3}x$

Then "plus 4" means add 4 we get:

$\frac{2}{3}x + 4$

"is 7" means that the above expression is equal to 7 (as follows):

$\frac{2}{3}x + 4 = 7$

The solution of the above equation is:

$\frac{2}{3}x + 4 = 7 \\ \frac{2}{3}x = 3 \\ x = \frac{9}{2}$

this is the rust of the questions please please some one helps me because I really try my best to solve it . thank you

Answer:

x = 24.

r $\ne$ 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

2. The given equation is:

$\frac{1}{2} (x - 4) = \frac{1}{3} x + 2$

a) To eliminate the fractions multiply the equation throughout by the LCM of the denominators of the fraction. In this case, the LCM of (2, 3). The LCM is 6. So, multiply the entire equation by 6.

b) Half of the difference between an integer and 4 equals the sum of one - third of the integer and 2. Find the integer.

c) We have the equation:

$\frac{1}{2} (x - 4) = \frac{1}{3} x + 2$

Multiplying throughout by 6, we get:

$\frac{6}{2}(x - 4) = \frac{6}{3} x + 6(2)$

$\implies 3(x - 4) = 2x + 12$

$\implies 3x - 12 = 2x + 12$

$\implies x = 24$

Therefore, the solution of the equation is 24.

3. The given equation is: $ry + s = tx - m$

To solve for y:

We can rearrange the equation as:

$ry = tx - m - s$

$\implies y = \frac{tx - m - s}{r}$

or, $y = \frac{tx - (m + s)}{r}$

Note that we have to impose a condition on variable $r$ . It would be that $r$ can never be zero. i.e., $r \ne 0$ . Otherwise, the value of $y$ would be undefined.
