(x + a)/(ax) = b/x
a= 2
b = 5
(x + 2) /(2x) = 5/x
cross multiply
x * (x+2) = (2x)*5
x^2 + 2x = 10x
x^2 - 8x = 0
x ( x -8) = 0
We get two solutions
x = 0, 8
the solution 0 is extraneous
the solution 8 is valid.
Answer:
I think it would be 350$
Step-by-step explanation:
ok so you have to buy 10 shirts so you need to set up your problem which would be 10(12+8+15)
Then you would have to actually distribute which would give you 120+80+150
Finally you just add all of your numbers together which would be 350$
Answer:
hello dude you see um this is complicated
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
tan30° = Height of person / (Distance away from river bank + river's width) = 1/√3.
Therefore 1.6m / (2m + x) = 1/√3
By cross multiplication, 1.6√3 = 2 + x.
Hence, x ≈ 0.77m.
Answer:
Initial dive: - 248 (below the surface which represents '0')
Second dive: -10
Present depth -248 + -10 = -258 feet below the surface
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use negative integers to represent real-world scenarios such as in elevation and descent, bank account balances and temperatures. In this case, because a diver is descending below the surface of the water, the surface of the water represents the '0' and going down into the water would be negative integers. So, his initial dive is 248 down, or negative 248 (-248), he then dives down an additional 10 feet, or negative 10 (-10). Since the second dive is in addition to his initial dive, we add the two integers together:
-248 + -10 = -258 feet
