Find the value of $x$ so that the ratios are equivalent. x:5/2 and 8:10

Mathematics

Scrat [10]3 years ago

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here what we need is that the ratios be equal, which is:

x:(5/2) = 8:10 or, what is the same:

x/(5/2) = 8/10

Lets pick the left term x/(5/2) and multiply both numerator and denominator by 2 to eliminate the fraction on the denominator:

2x/2(5/2) = 2x/5

Now, we would like to make a 10 appear on the denominator. As we already have a five we need to multiply numerator and denominator by the num that, multiplied by 5 gives as 10, this is 2:

2(2x)/2(5) = 4x / 10

So, we transformed x/(5/2)  in 4x/10, and both are the same, so we can replace it on our first equation:

4x/10 = 8/10

As both denominators are equal, we can concentrate only in numerators:

4x = 8

Dividing both sides by 4:

x = 2

So, for x=2 both ratios are equivalents.

Giving BRAINLIEST for correct awnser. Select the two binomials that are factors of 64x^2 - 36.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

B. 8x - 3

C. 8x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

64 is a perfect square, meaning it has two factors that are identical (8), and 36 is also a perfect square, but in this case, you don't see two 6's in the answer choices.

12 and -3 give you a product of -36, so your answer choices would be:

(8x - 3) (8x + 12)

If you're unsure, you can multiply them together to check if they come out to the unfactorized expression.
