<h3>Answer: a = 15</h3>

Explanation:

The jump from 13 to 39 is "times 3" when comparing the diagonal segments. So the jump from 5 to 'a' must also be "times 3" to keep the sides in the same proportion. Therefore, a = 3*5 = 15.

Or we could solve it like so

13/39 = 5/a

13a = 39*5 ... cross multiplying

13a = 195

a = 195/13 .... dividing both sides by 13

a = 15

Which expression is equivalent to the following complex fraction?

Virty [35]

Answer:

$\dfrac{-4x+7}{2(x-2)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the terms of numerator and denominator using a common denominator.

$\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{x-1}-4}{2-\dfrac{2}{x-1}}=\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{3-4(x-1)}{x-1}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{2(x-1)-2}{x-1}\right)}}=\boxed{\dfrac{-4x+7}{2(x-2)}}$

What is the value of x in the equation one-fifthx – two-thirdsy = 30, when y = 15? 4 8 80 200.

worty [1.4K]

On solving the linear system, for the value of y = 15, the value of x is 200. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

It is a system of an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. A one-dimension figure that has no width. It is a combination of infinite points side by side.

Given

The linear equation is shown below.

$\rm \dfrac{1}{5}x - \dfrac{2}{3}y = 30$

The equation can be written as

$\rm 3x - 10y = 450\\$

For y = 15, the value of x will be.

$\begin{aligned} \rm 3x - 10*15 &= 450\\\\\rm 3x - 150 &= 450 \\\\\rm 3x &= 600\\\\\rm x &= 200\\\end{aligned}$

The value of x is 200.

Thus, option D is correct.
