Cross multiply
20(x+1)=14(x-1)
20x+20=14x-14
Subtract 14x on each side giving you
6x+20=-14
Subtract 20 on each side giving you
6x=-34
x=-34/6. Simplifying that you get x=-17/3. I hope this helps!!!

Answer:

X=-17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x+1/x-1 = 14/20

20x+20=14x-14

Subtract 20 from both sides

20x+20-20=14x-14-20

Simplify

20x=14x-34

Subtract 14x from both sides

20x-14x=14x-34-14x

Simplify

6x=-34

Divide both sides by 6

6x/6=-34/6

Simplify

X=-17/3

Thank you for letting me help!!

Hey!

To divide fractions, you have to keep, change, flip.

Keep 3 1/2(7/2)

Change ÷ to ×

Flip 2 1/4(9/4) = 4/9

Now multiply the improper fractions

$\frac{7}{2} \times \frac{4}{9} = \frac{28}{18} = 1 \frac{10}{18} = 1 \frac{5}{9}$

The 1st choice matches the answer. The answer is the 1st choice.

Good luck and hope this helps! :)

Question:

A cinema can hold 270 people at one performance 5/9 of the seats were occupied of the occupied seats 40% we occupied by concessionary ticket holders.

What is the number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders?.

Answer:

60 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of seats = 270

Occupied Seats = 5/9

Concessionary ticket holders = 40% of occupied Seats

Required

The number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders

First the number of occupied seat has to be calculated.

$Occupied\ Seats = \frac{5}{9} * 270$

$Occupied\ Seats = \frac{1350}{9}$

$Occupied\ Seats = 150$

Next is to determine the number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders.

$Number = 40\%\ of\ occupied\ seats$

$Number = 40\%\ of\ 150$

Convert percentage to decimal

$Number = 0.4 * 150$

$Number = 60$

Hence, 60 seats were occupied by concessionary ticket holders.

Calculate the missing value. (Not drawn to scale.)

True [87]

Answer:5in

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Identify the triangle

you are given a right triangle with the hypotonus missing and are given the side lengths 3 and 4 you know the hypotonus is 5 by the 3,4,5 Pythagorean tripe, if you do not notice this it can be solved with the Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2

2. solve (if not done with 3,4,5 triple)

3^2+4^2=c^2

9+16=c^2

25=c^2

5=c | square root both sides to cancel the square
