Answer:
? = 4.29
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
Let x be the question mark. You get the proportionality by using the dimensions of the little triangle to the dimensions of the large triangle.
Equation
14/(14+ 4) = 15/(x + 15) Combine like terms on the left
14/18 = 15/(x + 15) Cross multiply
14*(x + 15) = 18 * 15 Simplify the right
14(x + 15) = 270 Divide by 14
x + 15 = 270 / 14
x + 15 = 19.29 Subtract 15 from both sides
x = 19.29 - 15
x = 4.29
<span>When a = 3 and b ≠ 5, the system will be inconsistent because the lines will be parallel. When a = 3 and b = 5, the system will be consistent and dependent because they represent the same line.</span>
Answer:
a = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
add 2 to each side
5a/3 = a/4 + 17
distribute 12 to remove fractions
20a = 3a + 204
17a = 204
a = 12
