Answer: 62.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: An astronaut weighs 170 pounds on Earth but only 68 pounds on Mars.

The weight of the rock sample on Mars = 25 pounds

Since the  "Weight of object on Mars"is directly proportional to "Weight of object on Earth".

\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{\text{Weight of rock sample on Earth }}{\text{Weight of rock sample on Mars}}=\dfrac{\text{Weight of astronaut on Earth}}{\text{Weight of astronaut on Mars}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{\text{Weight of rock sample on Earth }}{25}=\dfrac{170}{68}\\\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Weight of rock sample on Earth }=\dfrac{170\times25}{68}=62.5

Hence, the eight of the rock sample on Earth = 62.5 pounds

The ratio of the man's weights on Earth and Mars should be equal to the ratio of the rocks weight on Earth and Mars. By letting x be the stone's weight on Earth, the equation that best describe the condition is,
                      (170 pounds / 68 pounds) = (x pounds / 25 pounds)
The value of x is 62.5 pounds. If the units of the choices in the pounds then, it is not among the choices.

Measure of each side of an equilateral triangle is 12cm. It's area is given by
telo118 [61]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of an equilateral triangle is calculated as

A = \frac{s^2\sqrt{3} }{4} ← s is length of a side

Here s = 12, thus

A = \frac{12^2\sqrt{3} }{4}

  = \frac{144\sqrt{3} }{4}

  = 36\sqrt{3} → D

Answers:

The starting equation is (x+5)/3 = 7 which can be written as \frac{x+5}{3} = 7

The solution to this equation is x = 16

========================================================

Explanation:

Let x be a placeholder for some number. If we start off with some number and add on 5, then we go from x to x+5. The next thing we do is divide all of "x+5" all over 3 to get (x+5)/3 which can be written as \frac{x+5}{3}. I'll use the first style of notation.

Set the expression (x+5)/3 equal to 7 and that leads us to the equation:

(x+5)/3 = 7

so this is the first part of the answer. Now onto the second part which is solving for x. We want to get x all by itself on its own side.

To do this, we follow the order of operations PEMDAS in reverse. So we undo division first by multiplying both sides by 3. Then we undo the addition of 5 by subtracting 5 from both sides

(x+5)/3 = 7

3*(x+5)/3 = 3*7 ...... multiply both sides by 3

x+5 = 21

x+5 - 5 = 21 - 5 ..... subtract 5 from both sides

x = 16

So the unknown mystery number is 16. As a check, note how adding 5 to 16 gets us 16+5 = 21, which if we divide by 3 we end up with 21/3 = 7 which is what we want. So the answer is confirmed.
