GarryVolchara [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

$0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

create a proportion:

13/.78 = 7/x

cross-multiply to get:

13x = 7(.78)

13x = 5.46

x = 5.46/13

x = .42

The length of a rectangle is 5 feet more than twice the width. The perimeter is 130 feet. Find the dimensions.
Dahasolnce [82]
So,

The problem tells us that the length of the rectangle is 5 feet more than twice the width.
Mathematically:
length = 5 + 2width
l = 5 + 2w


We know that the perimeter is 2l + 2w.
2l + 2w = 130

2(5 + 2w) + 2w = 130

Distribute
10 + 4w + 2w = 130

Collect Like Terms
10 + 6w = 130

Subtract 10 from both sides
6w = 120

Divide both sides by 6
w = 20

The width is 20.


Since
l = 5 + 2w

Substitute
l = 5 + 2(20)

Multiply
l = 5 + 40

Collect Like Terms
l = 45

The length is 45.

Check
2l + 2w = 130

2(45) + 2(20) = 130

90 + 40 = 130

130 = 130

Width: 20 ft.
Length: 45 ft.

When x = 2, what is the value of the expression 5x^2 - 4?
Ivenika [448]

The value of the expression, 5x^2 - 4, when x = 2 is: 16.

<h3>What is the the Value of an Expression?</h3>

To find the value of an expression, plug in the given value of the variable and solve by simplifying.

Given the expression, 5x^2 - 4, when x = 2, we would have:

5(2)^2 - 4

5(4) - 4

20 - 4

= 16

Therefore, the value of the expression, 5x^2 - 4, when x = 2 is: 16.

Circle 1 has center (−4, −7) and a radius of 12 cm. Circle 2 has center (3, 4) and a radius of 15 cm.
CaHeK987 [17]
<h3>Answer with explanation:</h3>

It is given that:

Circle 1 has center (−4, −7) and a radius of 12 cm.

Circle 2 has center (3, 4) and a radius of 15 cm.

Two circles are said to be similar if by some translation and dilation it could be placed over the other to form the same circle.

The circles are similar because the transformation rule ( x,y ) → (x+7,y+11) can be applied to Circle 1 and then dilate it using a scale factor of 5/4

( Since, as the center of circle 1 is (-4,-7)

so,

(-4+7,-7+11) → (3,4)

( Since, the radius of circle 1 is 12 and that of circle 2 is 15 cm.

so, let the scale factor be k .

that means :

12\times k=15\\\\k=\dfrac{15}{12}\\\\k=\dfrac{5}{4}  )
