X = 10
The triangles are similar by SAS, so we can set up a proportion of their sides.
9/(33-9) = 12/(3x+2)
9/24 = 12/3x+2
Reduce
3/8 = 12/3x+2
Cross multiply
3(3x+2) = 12*8
Distribute and multiply
9x + 6 = 96
Subtract 6
9x = 90
Divide by 9
x = 10
Check:
9/24 = 12/3x+2
9/24 = 12/3*10 + 2
9/24 = 12/30 + 2
9/24 = 12/32
3/8 = 3/8 :)
Answer: 5 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of times that he saved $75 be x.
Let the number of times that he saved $150 be y.
Therefore, based on the information given in the question, we can form an equation which will be:
x + y = 8 ...... i
75x + 150y = 825 ....... ii
From equation I,
x + y = 8
y = 8 - x....... iiii
Put equation iii into ii and this will be:
75x + 150y = 825
75x + 150(8 - x) = 825
75x + 1200 - 150x = 825
75x - 150x = 825 - 1200
-75x = -375
x = 375/75
x = 5
He saved $75 5times from his paycheck.
Answer
y
Explanation
In mathematics, a variable is a symbol or letter, such as "x" or "y," that represents a value.
Answer:
8x is 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find a number that makes the equation equal 6. I found it; x is 2.
Therefore, 8 times 2 is 16.
(4 times 2 is 8, 8 minus two is 6, which is 4 less than 10.)
