Answer:

  x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Using your number sense, you recognize that a fraction equivalent to 2/5 that has 4 in the numerator is 4/10. This tells you x = 10.

__

The usual instructions for solving this algebraically are to "cross multiply", then divide by the coefficient of x.

  2/5 = 4/x . . . . given

  2x = 20 . . . . . multiply by 5x on both sides

  x = 10 . . . . . . . divide by 2

__

You can do the above two steps both at once: multiply by 5/2x.

  (2/5)(5/2x) = (4/x)(5/2x)

  x = 20/2 = 10

Find what y equals please (geometry) :)
pychu [463]
Answer: y=31.97°

Explanation: We can use trig ratios to find y and they are SohCahToa.

We can use Sin y, because when y is the reference angle, the 9 cm side is the opposite and the 17cm is always the hypotenuse.

We must take the inverse of Sin (9/17) to get about 31.9657, which we can round to 31.97°.

The triangles below are similar. Find x showing the proportion and all work.
zavuch27 [327]

we are given that

two triangles are similar

so, the  ratio of their sides must be same

we get

\frac{2}{6} =\frac{x}{x+2}

now, we can solve for x

step-1: Cross multiply both sides

2(x+2) =6x

step-2: Simplify left side

2x +4 =6x

step-3: Subtract both sides by 2x

2x +4-2x =6x-2x

4 =4x

step-4: Divide both sides by 4

x=1

so,

x=1............Answer

Simplify. Write your answers without exponents. . . (1/64) ^ -2/3. . 25 ^ -3/3
guapka [62]


we are asked in the problem to simplify the expression  (1/64) ^ -2/3 * 25 ^ -3/3. In this case, the first step is to separately determine the values of (1/64) ^ -2/3 and 25 ^ -3/3 and then multiply the values. This is equal to 16 * 1/25 equal to 16/25.
