84/12 = 28/x 1. x=4 2. X=28

yan [13]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use cross products to solve

84/12 = 28/x

84 * x = 12 *28

Divide each side by 84

84x/84 = 12*28/84

x =4

Solve the following equation by completing the square. 3x^2-3x-5=13

mr Goodwill [35]

we'll start off by grouping some

$\bf 3x^2-3x-5=13\implies (3x^2-3x)-5=13\implies 3(x^2-x)-5=13 \\\\\\ 3(x^2-x)=18\implies (x^2-x)=\cfrac{18}{3}\implies (x^2-x)=6\implies (x^2-x+~?^2)=6$

so we have a missing guy at the end in order to get the a perfect square trinomial from that group, hmmm, what is it anyway?

well, let's recall that a perfect square trinomial is

$\bf \qquad \textit{perfect square trinomial} \\\\ (a\pm b)^2\implies a^2\pm \stackrel{\stackrel{\text{\small 2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small a}^2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small b}^2}}{\downarrow }}{2ab} + b^2$

so we know that the middle term in the trinomial, is really 2 times the other two without the exponent, well, in our case, the middle term is just "x", well is really -x, but we'll add the minus later, we only use the positive coefficient and variable, so we'll use "x" to find the last term.

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{middle term}}{2(x)(?)}=\stackrel{\textit{middle term}}{x}\implies ?=\cfrac{x}{2x}\implies ?=\cfrac{1}{2}$

so, there's our fellow, however, let's recall that all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0, so if we add (1/2)², we also have to subtract (1/2)²

$\bf \left( x^2 -x +\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2-\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2 \right)=6\implies \left( x^2 -x +\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2 \right)-\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2=6 \\\\\\ \left(x-\cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=6+\cfrac{1}{4}\implies \left(x-\cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=\cfrac{25}{4}\implies x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\sqrt{\cfrac{25}{4}} \\\\\\ x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{4}}\implies x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{5}{2}\implies x=\cfrac{5}{2}+\cfrac{1}{2}\implies x=\cfrac{6}{2}\implies \boxed{x=3}$

Fwam surveyed 540 of the students in his school about their favorite color. students could choose between red and blue. 55% said

Digiron [165]

Answer:

243 students' favorite color is red

Step-by-step explanation:

if 55% of the students said their favorite color was blue, then 45% chose that red was their favorite color

we can get 45% of 540 using a cross-multiplication equation

45% is 45/100

45/100 is to ?/540

the (?) represents the value of students who chose red as their favorite color (we do not know this but we can figure it out using cross-multiplication)

45 times 540 is 24300

24300/100 = 243.

Give brainliest, please!

hope this helps :)
