X : 2 = 7 : 5 Calculate the value of x .

Hi there!

We are given two ordered pairs which are:

(0,0)
(5,4)

If you are curious how do I get these ordered pairs, they come from those two big circles or dots. x and y make relation and can be written as (x,y).

1. Find the slope

Yes, our first step is to find the slope of a graph if you want to find an equation. You may be curious how to find that right? No worries! We have got a special formula for you to find the slope!

$\large \boxed{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }$

Since we have two given points, we can substitute them in the formula.

$\large{m = \frac{4 - 0}{5 - 0} } \\ \large \boxed{m = \frac{4}{5} }$

2. Form an equation.

Since we have finally found, got or evaluated the slope. Next step is to find the y-intercept. Oh! Before we get to form an equation, do you know the slope-intercept form? We will be using that linear equation form since it is commonly used in the topic.

$\large \boxed{y = mx + b}$

Where m = slope and b = y-intercept. We substitute m = 4/5.

$\large{y = \frac{4}{5} x + b}$

Next thing to remember is that when the graph intersects an origin point, b-term or y-intercept would be 0. Therefore b = 0 since the graph intersects (0,0).

$\large \boxed{y = \frac{4}{5} x}$

3. Answer

Therefore the equation of the line is y = 4x/5.

Set up and solve the following using dimensional analysis.

Softa [21]

1). Multiply (5400 inches) by (1 foot / 12 inch) then by (1 mile / 5280 foot).

(See explanation at the bottom)

= (5400 inch) x (1 foot / 12 inch) x (1 mile / 5280 foot)

= (5400 x 1 x 1 / 12 x 5280) (inch - foot - mile / inch - foot)

= 0.0852 mile

2). Multiply (16 week) by (7 day/week) then by (24 hour/day)
then by (60 minute/hour) then by (60 sec/minute).

3). Multiply (54 yards) by (3 foot/yard) then by (1 meter/3.28 foot)
and then by (1000 mm/meter)

4). Multiply (36 cm/second) by (3600 second/hour) then by (1 meter/100 cm)
then by (1 mile/1609.3 meter).

5). Look up how many grams in a pound ('P')
Look up how many mL in a gallon ('G')

Multiply (1.09 g/mL) by ( 1 pound/ P gram) then by (1 gallon/ G mL)

6). Multiply (32 foot/sec) by (1 meter / 3.28 foot) then by (60 sec/minute).

Each time I told you to multiply by something, it was always a fraction
where the numerator and denominator are equal, like (60 seconds/minute)
or (1 foot / 12 inch). Since the top and bottom of the fraction are equal, the
value of the fraction is ' 1 ' , and multiplying by it doesn't change the value,
it only changes the units ... that's what this whole exercise is about.
When you multiply, KEEP the units in the product, and then, after you multiply, you can 'cancel' units out of the top and bottom of the product.
Like if you have 'feet' on top and bottom, just cross them out. When you're done, if you did it correctly, the last unit you end up with will be the one you want.

What is the value of x 1/5 = 25/x

Mama L [17]

First getting x as a numerator rather than a denominator. Then grouping like terms by moving 5 from the left side to the right. Work below:
$\frac{1}{5} = \frac{25}{x} \\ \frac{1}{5}*x = \frac{25}{x}*x\\ \frac{1}{5}x = 25\\\frac{1}{5}x * 5 = 25*5\\x=125$

2(n-1)+ 4n= 2 (3n -1)

muminat

Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (n - 1) + 4n = 2 (3n - 1) Let's simplify this to solve it.

2n - 2 + 4n = 6n - 2 Distribute 2(n-1) and 2(3n-1)

2n + 4n - 2 = 6n - 2 Rearrange the left side of the equation.

6n - 2 = 6n - 2 Add 2n + 4n.

-6n -6n Subtract 6n from both sides.

-2 = -2

the answer is infinitely many solutions, meaning that n can be any real number.
