Answer:

$x = 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$WX = x + 5$

$XY = 3x - 13,$

Required

Find x

To do this, I will assume $WX = XY$ .

So, we have:

$x + 5 = 3x - 13$

Collect Like Terms

$x - 3x = -5 - 13$

$-2x = -18$

Divide by -2

$x = 9$

spayn [35]

Answer:

Circumference of circle = 87.92 centimeter

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question;

Radius of circle = 14 centimeters

Value of π = 3.14

Find:

Circumference of circle

Computation:

⇒ Circumference of circle = 2πr

where r = Radius of circle

⇒ Circumference of circle = 2(3.14)(14)

⇒ Circumference of circle = (6.28)(14)

Circumference of circle = 87.92 centimeter

Suppose that 2 people exercising in an enclosed room are each generating about 2.400 BTUs of body heat per

noname [10]

Answer:

0.002 BTUs per cubic foot heat is produced per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of person = 2

Amount of heat produced by one person = 2.400 BTU

Dimension of the room = 20 ft x 12 ft x 10 ft

To Find:

How many BTUs per cubic foot do they produce in 1 hour = ?

Solution:

E = $\frac{ \text{(2400 Btu/ person hr}) (\text{Number of Hours}) (\text{Number of persons }) }{\text {volume of the room}}$

Substituting the values

E = $\frac{ \text{(2400 Btu/ person hr}) (1) ( 2) }{20 ft \times 12 ft \times 10 ft}$

E = $\frac{4.800}{2400}$

E = 0.002 BTU per cubic feet

Divide 12x 4 y 4 by 3x 2 y. A. 4x 6y 5 B. 4x 2y 3 C. 9x 6 D. 9x 2y 3

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

$\frac{12x^4y^4}{3x^2y}=4x^2y^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider an element $a\neq 0$

We know that $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}$

Here, m and n are exponents and a is a base. Exponent refers to the no. of times a term is multiplied by itself. Another word for exponents is powers.

Other Properties of exponents:

$a^m\times a^n=a^{m+n}\\a^0=1\\\left ( a^m \right )^n=a^{mn}$

Here, we are required to divide $12x^4y^4$ by $3x^2y$ .

Consider $\frac{12x^4y^4}{3x^2y}$

We will solve $\frac{12}{3}\,,\,\frac{x^4}{x^2}\,,\,\frac{y^4}{y}$ separately.

Here,

$\frac{12}{3}=4\\\frac{x^4}{x^2}=x^{4-2}=x^2\\\frac{y^4}{y}=y^3$

So, $\frac{12x^4y^4}{3x^2y}=4x^2y^3$
