Answer:

5 whole number 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x:(x-2)=11:3

(:)This simply means ''ratio''

5x/(x-2) = 11/3

(cross multiply)

11(x-2) = 3(5x)

11x-22 = 15x

collect like terms

15x - 11x = 22

4x = 22

x = 22/4, but it is best you put it as a Mixed number.

x = 5 whole number 2/4, which can be reduced to

x = 5 whole number 1/2

Answer:

x = -11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios need to stay the same

5x        11

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

x-2       3

Using cross products

5x*3 = (x-2) 11

15x = 11x - 22

Subtract 11 from each side

15x-11x = -22

4x = -22

x = -22/4

x = -11/2

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

For a geometric sequence with recurrence of the form a(n)=ra(n-1) where r is constant, each term is r times the previous term. This implies that to get from the first term to the nth term, we need to multiply by n-1 factors of r.

Okay so first, area is length times width, so 1/4x*x would be first = 1/4(x^2)=64. Then area or x = 16 or -16

perimeter would be width times two plus length times two. I recommend using math papa to calculate these numbers.
