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

Answer:

y = -5/3 x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form is y = ax + b, where a is the slope and b is the y intercept.

So immediately you can see that b must be 40, since the line crosses the y axis at 40.

The slope can be calculated by finding two "nice" points on the line that are also grid lines.

How about (0,40) and (6, 30).

Then, calculate the slope by dividing the y difference by the x difference:

(30-40)/(6-0) = -10/6 = -5/3

So C must be the answer.

Richard and Georgia both wrote essays.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer: a) Georgia, b) 120 words

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate how many words they each wrote by multiplying their time and the rate at which they write words.

Richard: 45*16 = 720 words total

Georgia: 70*12 = 840 words total.

Therefore, Georgia wrote 120 more words.

4+5(p-1) how to expand brackets and then simplify
Valentin [98]

Step-by-step explanation:

these are multiplications.

you could also write

4 + 5×(p - 1)

now, we need to calculate the contents of brackets (if we can), then do the multiplications and divisions, before we can do the then remaining additions and subtractions.

if we cannot do a calculation directly (because there is a variable involved), we need to do and document the single steps for the individual parts involved.

so,

4 + 5×(p - 1) = 4 + 5×p + 5×-1 = 4 + 5p - 5 = 5p - 1

remember, a multiplication of 2 expressions is done by multiplying every term of one expression with every term of the other expression and adding the results up (by considering their individual signs, of course).

Please solve each equation & check your solution. Thank You!
Deffense [45]

Answer:

G). 1.2x + 7.92 -3.3x = 41

-2.1x=33.08

x = 33.08/-2.1

x = - 15.752

H). 3x/2 + 9/5 = 12

Multiply through by 10

15x + 18 =120

15x =120-18

15x = 102

x =102/15

x=34/5

I). 5 = 9/4 - r/3

Multiply through by 12

60= 27 - 4r

60 - 27 = -4r

33 = - 4r

r = -33/4

J). 2(x - 2) = 12

2x - 4 = 12

2x = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8
