Answer:

  • y = 2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Reading rate is y pages per x minutes and proportional relationship formula is:</u>

  • y = kx

<u>The coefficient is:</u>

  • k = y/x

<u>Let's verify if the given numbers fit into the same relationship:</u>

  • 12/18 = 2/3
  • 8/12 = 2/3
  • 20/30 = 2/3

We confirm all same and it means k = 2/3

<u>Required equation is:</u>

  • y = 2/3x

This represents that Michael reads 2 pages per 3 minutes and for x minutes he reads 2/3x pages

How do i find the area of a trapezoid (pictures provided)
scoray [572]

Answer:

(10x - 5) square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lengths of equal sides be x units.

Hence, AB + AD + DC = x + x + x = 3x

Therefore, BC = 3x - 2

Area  \: of \:  trapezoid  \\ =  \frac{1}{2} (AD + BC)  \times 5 \\  = \frac{1}{2} (x + 3x - 2)  \times 5  \\ = \frac{1}{2} (4x - 2)  \times 5  \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 (2x - 1)  \times 5  \\  = (2x - 1) \times 5 \\  = (10x - 5) \:  {units}^{2}

D=a+b+c solve for b<br> I need some help
Hoochie [10]

Hi Walker


d=a+b+c

Flip

a+b+c=d

Add -a to both sides

a+b+c-a=d-a

b+c=-a+d

Now add -c to both sides

b+c-c=-a+d-c

b= -a-c+d


I hope that's help:0

A certain quadrilateral has two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite sides are equal in length. There are also 4 right angles.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

12 + 12 = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2L + 2W

P = 2*16 + 2W

P = 56

56 = 32 + 2W     Subtract 32 from both sides

56 - 32 = 2W

24 = 2W              Divide by 2

24/2 = 2W/2

12 = W

The answer you want is 2 * 12 = 24

Solve 7x- c= k for x. <br>A. X = 7(k+C) <br>B. x = 7(K-C) <br>C. X = k+c/7 <br>D. X= k-c/7​
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

you add c to both side which will then make it 7x=k+c then you would divide 7 from both sides leaving you with x=k+c/7. Except 7 will be under the k and c.
