Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

36/x=8/7

x times 36/x=x times 8/7

Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

cancel both x’s for you should have 36=x times 8/7

Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction

36=8x/7

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

36=8x/7 so you multiply 7 times 36=7 times 8x/7

so you simplify so you get 252=8x

then you Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

252=8x 252/8=8x/8 so you get 63/2

so your final answer is x=63/2

I hope that I helped you have a nice day or night!

find the ratio which are the points p(X,2) divides the line segment joining the point a(12,5) and b(4,-3) also find X plz give a

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: ratio a:b = 3:5 p(X, 2) = p(9, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot points a = (12, 5) and b = (4, -3) and draw a line segment from a to b.

Notice that when y = 2, X = 9 so point p = (9, 2) see graph

The distance from a to p = 3√2

The distance from b to p = 5√2

So the ratio of a:b = 3√2:5√2 = 3:5 when simplified

To find the distance, use the distance formula OR pythagorean theorem.

Alana biked 12 miles in 48 minutes. What is Alana's speed in miles per minute?

marusya05 [52]

Question:- Alana biked 12 miles in 48 minutes. What is Alana's speed in miles per minute?

Answer:-

Set up a proportion.

12/48 = 1/x

Cross multiply.

12*x = 12x
48*1 = 48

12x = 48

12x/12 = 48/12

x= 48/12
x= 4

Now, we have our final answer. x = 4

Final answer:- Alana bikes 4 miles per minute.

The given equation has no solution when C is equal to what number? 2x+C(8+x)=16

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

$-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

When $C=-2$ , the variable $x$ will be removed from the equation ( $2x-2x=0$ ). Therefore, we are left with $-16\neq 16$ . Thus, when $C=-2$ , the given equation has no solutions.
