Answer:
First number: 71/7
Second number: 135/7
Third number: 270/7
Step-by-step explanation:
First number = x
Second number= 2x-1
Third number= 2(2x-1)
x+(2x-1)+2(2x-1)= 68
3x-1+4x-2=68
7x-3=68
7x=71
x=71/7
You can check by plugging in the x into the equation.
Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar we can find x using similarity ratio
14/8 = (x+6)/(x-3) simplify first expression
7/4 = (x+6)/(x-3) cross multiply expressions
7×(x-3) = 4×(x+6)
7x-21 = 4x + 24 add like terms
3x = 45
x = 15
Answer:
1 1/2 is__11/15___% of 7 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Number - 
Let X % of 
X % is thus equal to
Area=width*length. Let width=x ft, then length=3x ft, given the information in the problem. The area of basement=x*3x=768, 3x^2=768, x^2=256, x=16. The width is 16 feet. Therefore, length=3x=3*16=48 feet.
The given ratios 3: 5 and 15: 25 are equal. Because when you divide the ratio 15: 25 by 5 on both numerator and denominator, the first ratio 3: 5 can be obtained. Similarly, when you multiply the first ratio 3: 5 by 5, the ratio 15: 25 can be obtained.
