Answer:
x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle is split into two similar triangles. They have the same shape but not the same size. To solve, write a proportion.

Cross multiply to solve for x.
56(x+4) = 44.8(35)
56x + 224 = 1,568
56x = 1,344
x= 24

Answer:
<u>142 Grey, 83 white, 76 black</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
If you were to take 5 boxes and put 24,12,12 in each, then multiply each number by 5 you wpuld get 120 Grey, 60 white and 76 black. Then you would add what they already have 120 Grey + 22 Grey is 142 grey, 60 white + 23 white is 83 white, and 60 black + 16 black is 76 black.
Answer:
x = 0.19 or x = -0.76
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: 7²-4x = 2
reordering the equation,
7x²-4x-2 = 0
Applying,
x = [-b±√(b²-4ac)]/2a..................... Equation 1
From the question,
Given: a = 7, b = -4, c = -2
Substitute these values into equation 1
x = [-4±√(-4²-(2×7×-2)]/(2×7)
x = [-4±√(16+28)]/14
x = (-4±√44)/14
Either
x = (-4+√44)/14
x = (-4+6.63)/14
x = 2.63/14
x = 0.19
or
x = (-4-√44)/14
x = (-4-6.63)/14
x = -10.63/14
x = -0.76
<u>Correct Question</u>
In the table shown, the sum of each row is shown to the right of the row and the sum of each column is shown below the column. What is the value of L?

Answer:
L=7
Step-by-step explanation:
From the first row: 2J+K=5
Therefore: K=5-2J
From the second column, 2K+J=7
Substitute K derived above into 2K+J=7
2K+J=7
2(5-2J)+J=7
10-4J+J=7
-3J=7-10
-3J=-3
J=1
Recall: K=5-2J
K=5-2(1)=3
K=3
From the third column, J+2L=15
1+2L=15
2L=15-1=14
L=7
Therefore, the value of L=7
