9/24=3/y how do we get the answer to this question

Because it is an equation, we know that whatever is on both sides of the equation must be equal. The initial fraction, 9/24, can be further simplified (both numbers made smaller, divided by a common factor). In this case, 9/24 must be divided by something to be equal to 3/y (the y just means we don’t know it’s value yet). If we know that we can divide 9 by 3 to get 3, then we can divide the denominator of the first side of the equation (24) by 3 to get our answer to y.

Basically, in this case we need to find what number to divide 9 by to end up with 3 (that is 3, as 3x3=9) and divide 24 by that number. 24 divided by 3 is 8, as 3x8=24. So, if we know we can reduce 9/24 into 3/8, we can write that as 9/24=3/8. Therefore, y=8.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal: Maze
CaHeK987 [17]

Start from Start Here square, the pointer to the next question to resolve is given by the solution to the equation in the current square

The values of the Maze are as follows;

  1. x = 10
  2. x = 8
  3. x = -9
  4. x = 5
  5. x = 11
  6. x = 3
  7. x = -5
  8. x = 9
  9. x = 7
  10. x = -7

Reason:

The solutions are;

10·x + 15 = 12·x - 5  by alternate interior angles theorem

  • ∴ x = 10

6·x + 6 = 5·x + 14 by alternate exterior angles theorem

  • ∴ x = 8

x + 109 = 100 by corresponding angles theorem

  • ∴ x = -9

11·x + 5 + 120° = 180° by same side interior angles theorem

  • ∴ x = 5

11·x - 1 = 10·x + 10 by corresponding angles theorem

  • ∴ x = 11

35·x + 5 = 110 by corresponding angles theorem

  • ∴ x = 3

x + 85 + x + 105 = 180 by same side interior angles theorem

  • ∴ x = -5

7·x - 3 + 12·x + 12 = 180° by same side interior angles theorem

  • ∴ x = 9

19·x - 3 = 130 by alternate interior angles theorem

  • ∴ x = 7

x + 67 = 60 by alternate interior angles theorem

  • x = -7

#19 is the question. i’m stuck on it, i missed the class where we went over it. please help!!
vodka [1.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the powers are equal you can write the expression as a one root

But we cannot get 9 out since the square root of 9 is 3 which is second power (3^2) and the power of the root is 4

Holpe this helps, if you need further explanation you can ask.
