Answer:

$x=3\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4}{2} :\frac{7}{x}$

x · 4 = 7 · 2

4x = 14

4x ÷ 4 = 14 ÷ 4

x = 3.5

Answer:

7/2 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar so we can write a ratio to solve

2 4

---- = -------

x 7

Using cross products

2*7 = 4x

14 = 4x

14/4 = 4x/4

7/2 =x

Solve by substitution. Show each step of your work. 2x + y = 7 3x + 5y = 14

Monica [59]

Alright...simple...showing all steps.. ;)

You have the equations...

2x+y=7
and
3x+5y=14

To be able to even solve for any of the variables...multiply the equations by...2...and..3...

2x+y=7----*3--> 6x+3y=21
and
3x+5y=14-----*2--->6x+10y=28

Thus,

6x+3y=21
-
6x+10y=28

=========

-7y=-7

y=1

Now, plug y back into any of the original equations....we'll use 2x+y=7 in this case....

2x+(1)=7

2x+1=7
-1 -1

2x=6

x=3

Thus, the point of intersection for these two equations is (3,1)

Solve for c in a+b+c=180

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

c = -a - b + 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the c. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract a and b from both sides

a (-a) + b (-b) + c = 180 (-a) (-b)

c = 180 - a - b

c = -a - b + 180 is your answer

If 10 + a = 10, then a = 0

Lunna [17]

Answer:

B) identity property of addition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The statement given is:

$10+a=10,\ then\ a=0$

Here, we observe that 10 is added to a giving the number 10 itself as the answer. So, we know of a property which says that when 0 is added to a number, the result is the number itself. This property is called identity property of addition.

So, the value of $a$ must be 0 because on adding $a$ to 10, we are getting the number 10 only. So, the above statement is an example of identity property of addition.
