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

Answer:

\boxed{\text{1. y + 5 = -4(x - 3); \qquad 2. y - 8 = x + 1}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

The point-slope formula for a straight line is

y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)

x₁ = 3; y₁ = -5; m = -4  

Substitute the values

\boxed{\textbf{y + 5 = -4(x - 3)}}

The diagram shows the graph of equation 1 (red) with slope -4 passing through (3,-5).

Question 2

x₁ = -1; y₁ = 8; m = 1  

Substitute the values

\boxed{\textbf{y - 8 = x + 1}}

The diagram shows the graph of equation 2 (green) with slope 1 passing through (-1,8).

The ratio of the number of boy campers to the number of girl campers was 8:7. If there were a total of 195 campers, how many boy
kupik [55]
8x - amount of boys
7x- amount of girls 

8x + 7x = 195
 
15x= 195  ( divide by 15)

x= 13

8x = 8 x 13 = 104

7x = 7 x 13= 91 

there are 104 boys, and 91 girls.

Point Fis on line segment EG. EG = 100, EF = 4x - 20, and FG = 2x + 30. Write an equation that you would use to solve for x, the
andrew-mc [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

Line segment = EG

point on a line segment = F

EG = 100

EF = 4x - 20

FG = 2x + 30

a/q, EF + FG = EG

the equation is

4x - 20 + 2x + 30 = 100

now solution for x is

→ 4x - 20 + 2x + 30 = 100

→ 6x + 10 = 100

→ 6x = 100 - 10 = 90

→ x = 90/6 = 15

therefore, value of x is 15.

and according to given information

EF = 4x - 20 = 4(15) - 20 = 60 - 20 = 40

FG = 2x + 30 = 2(15) + 30 = 30 + 30 = 60

hope this answer helps you dear..take care and may u have a great day ahead!
