If two figures or lengths are similar, then the ratios of the corresponding lengths are equal.
Thus, 8/32 =5/x
8x = 160
x = 20 feet
Therefore, the length of the flag pole was 20 feet long
Answer:
2 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Ford Family consists of:
a) 2 adults
The price of ticket for each adult is $18.55. This can be approximated to $19 if we round it to nearest dollar. So the price of ticket for 2 adults will be 2 x 19 = $38
b) 3 children between ages 2 and 10.
Ticket for each child between ages 2 - 10 is $12.59 which can be approximated to $13. So ticket price for 3 children will be 3 x 13 = $39
c) 2 children below the age of 2.
Ticket price for each child is $6.54 which can approximated as $7. So ticket price for 2 children will be 2 x 7 = $14
The estimated total amount due on the family equals = 38 + 39 + 14 = $91
In each of the 3 cases we rounded up the values. So this means the actual amount must be slightly lesser than $91. The actual bill was $87.95 which is close to $91 and lesser than it. Hence we can conclude that $87.95 is the correct amount due for Ford Family.
Whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other.
Try to get all the x values and regular values together.
To do that, just subtract both sides by 6x to cancel it out on one side and subtract it from the other side:
6x-6x+32=-2x-6x
=
32=-8x
now divide both sides by -8 to get the x by itself
32/-8=-8/-8x
= 32/-8=x
-4=x
so your answer is: x= -4
