Answer:
4. x= 18
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve the problem like this:
Since 3 is proportional to 6 and 9 is proportional to x, we set up a proportion.
3/9 = 6/x
We then use cross-multiplication to solve for x.
5.
the equation looks like:
((2x+1)+4)/((x)+4)= 5/3
then you do cross multiplication and get:
6x+3+12=5x+20
subtract 5x on each side. subrtract the 3 and 12 from the 20.
and you get your answer 5=x
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
That would be a 45 degree angle
(2x+1)=Jeremy´s age
(2x+3)=Sam´s age.
we suggest this equation:
(2x+1)(2x+3)=783
4x²+6x+2x+3=783
4x²+8x-780=0
x²+2x-195=0
We solve this quadratic equation:
x=[-2⁺₋√(4-4*1*(-195))]/2=(-2⁺₋28)/2
x₁=(-2-28)/2=-15 this solution is not valid.
x₂=(-2+28)/2=13
Jeremy´s age=2x+1=2*13+1=27
Sam´s age=2x+3=2*13+3=29
