What is the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
goblinko [34]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

52/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use basic Thales therom,

\frac{3x}{4x}=\frac{3x+7}{5x-8}\\\\\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3x+7}{5x-8}\\

Cross multiply,

3*(5x-8)=4*(3x+7)

3*5x - 3*8 = 4*3x + 4*7

15x - 24 = 12x +28

Add 24 to both sides

15x = 12x + 28 + 24

15x = 12x + 52

Subtract 12x from both sides

15x-12x =52

3x = 52

Divide both sides by 3

x = 52/3

On her first three 5-point math quizzes, Ami’s scores were 4,3, and 5. She will take 3 more quizzes this semester. What three scores would give her an average that is a whole number? A repeating decimal?

Average = \frac{4+3+5+2+5+5}{6} =\frac{24}{6} =4

The three scores 5, 5, and 3 would  give her an average that is a repeating decimal

Average = \frac{4+3+5+5+5+3}{6} =\frac{25}{6} =4.166667
