Answer:

The value of x is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Number of songs Marcus has = 10x+8

Number of songs Lara has = 15x-92

It is also given that they have the same number of songs that means both the expressions should be equal.

Putting both equal

$10x+8 = 15x-92$

This is a linear equation in one variable which can be solved using properties of equality

Subtracting 10 from both sides

$10x+8-10x = 15x-92-10x\\8 = 5x-92$

Adding 92 on both sides

$8+92 = 5x-92+92\\100 = 5x$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{100}{5}\\x = 20$

Hence,

The value of x is 20.

One square grid is formed of 400 squares. Another square grid is formed of 256 squares. If the two grids join with a third at th

Sav [38]

One square grid has an area of 400.
Another square grid has an area of 256.

The area of the third grid can be:

(squares in third grid) + 256 = 400

OR

256 + 400 = (squares in third grid)

We get this by applying the Pythagorean theorem.

So, the squares in the third grid can either be 144 or 656. And we only have 144 as an option, so that is your answer.

Your final answer is D. 144.

Write and equation of the line below

blondinia [14]

Answer:

y = 1/4x + 0 or just y = 1/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

First I need the slope so I look at the dots and see how much boxes it goes up and then to the side. So it’s up 2 to the side 8. The slope would be 2/8 but you can simply it by 2 and you get 1/4. And the y intercept is given its zero.

Based on the scale drawing, what is the length, in feet, of the actual parking lot? On the drawing they have the width 12.8 cm a

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The width of 48 feet is represented by 12.8cm; the length represented by 1cm is 48/12.8 = 15/4 = 3.75 feet.

The length on the drawing is 3.2cm, which is exactly 1/4 of the width of 12.8cm; therefore the length of the actual parking lot is 48/4 = 12 feet.
