Answer:

-83

Step-by-step explanation:

x+(x+1)=number

x+(x+1)=-165

2x+1=-165

-1 -1

2x=-166

/2 /2

x=-83

We can check our work by adding -83+-82=-165 because -83 would be the smaller number.

-83.

The triangles below are similar. Find x showing the proportion and all work.

zavuch27 [327]

we are given that

two triangles are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be same

we get

$\frac{2}{6} =\frac{x}{x+2}$

now, we can solve for x

step-1: Cross multiply both sides

$2(x+2) =6x$

step-2: Simplify left side

$2x +4 =6x$

step-3: Subtract both sides by 2x

$2x +4-2x =6x-2x$

$4 =4x$

step-4: Divide both sides by 4

$x=1$

so,

$x=1$ ............Answer

Another submarine descent can be represented as y= -240 x where y is the elevation and x is time in hours. How long will it take

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:e

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the submarine is given as y =-240x

Where y is the distance of the descent

x is the time in hours

and -240 is the rate of distance per unit time

To calculate how long it will take this submarine to reach the descent

x = y /-240
