I've been stuck on this for a little while now. Could anybody help?

Mathematics

6 0

Answer:

  7

Step-by-step explanation:

The arrows on the diagonal lines mean those lines are parallel. That means the triangles are similar, so corresponding sides have the same ratio.

There are many ways we can write the proportion expressing that fact. It is convenient to do so with the variable in the numerator:

  (3x -6)/12 = 10/8

Multiplying by 4, we have ...

  x -2 = 5

  x = 7 . . . . . . add 2

A weather station on the top of a mountain reports that the temperature is currently 0 degrees Celsius and has been falling at a
madam [21]

Answer:

The temperature of the weather station was 3 degrees Celcius an hour earlier.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that the weather an hour ago should be represented with the variable - x.

From the problem, we know that the temperature of the station falls at a rate of -3 degrees per hour. This means that for every hour, the temperature of the place will go down by about 3 degrees Celsius.

If the temperature of the weather station is currently 0 degrees Celsius, to find its temperature an hour earlier, it means that we will need to add 3 degrees to its current temperature, because that is what must have lost in one hour.

i.e x = 0 + 3 = 3 degrees Celcius.

This means that the temperature of the weather station was 3 degrees Celcius an hour earlier.

What is a formula for the nth term of the given sequence? 50, -20,8...​
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

L = 50 * (-0.4)^(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

r = t2/t1 = -20/50 = - 0.4

a = 50

L = 50 * (r)^(n - 1)      Let's  see if we can get the answer when n = 3

L=50 * (-0.4)^(3 -1)

L =50* (-0.4)^2

L = 50 * 0.16

L = 8 which is correct

Monica measures 91 milliliters of water into 9 tiny beakers. she measures an equal amount of water into the first 8 beakers. she
UkoKoshka [18]
To determine the amount of water in the first 8 beakers, you will subtract the 19 ml that are in the 9th beaker from the total to see how much water was actually put into the first 8 beakers.

91 ml - 19 ml = 72 ml.

The 72 ml are divided evenly between 8 beakers.

72/8 = 9 ml

There would be 9 ml of water in each of the first 8 beakers.
