Im not sure if this is correct but I got that -3(2x-5)<5(2-x) so I got the same thing as the question
Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then corresponding sides are in proportion, that is
= 
( cross- multiply )
12(x - 4) = 120 ( divide both sides by 12 )
x - 4 = 10 ( add 4 to both sides )
x = 14
Answer:
Jenny earns $36 in interest per year.
Step-by-step explanation:
1200/ 12 = 100
3% of 100 is 3.
3 x 12 = 36
Answer:
What was this for ?
Step-by-step explanation:
A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
16k²= 49k²-168k +144
33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32
