Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a geometric mean problem...a ratio. The geometric mean is the height of the triangle, 6. To solve:
and cross multiply to solve for x:
3x = 36 so
x = 12
Answer:
.......................................................................................
Absolute values are a way of finding a distant from zero, which means there will be 2 answers; one will be positive, and the other will be negative.
|<em>3x - 4</em>| = 5<em>and</em> |3<em>x - 4</em> = a^5 Because you need 2 answers, you have to make 5 positive and negative.
Another way to write this equation would be...
5=|3x-4|=—5
Now lets continue...
5=3x-4=—5
Add 4 to both sides...
9=3x=—1
Now divide by 3...
3=x= -1/3
So the solution is...
X={-1/3 3}
Answer:
$44
Step-by-step explanation:
Use formula
% out of 100/100% = part/whole
20%/100 = 12/16+x
Cross multiply
(12)(100) = (20)(16+x)
1200=320+20x
Solve for x
1200-320 = 20x
880 = 20x
880/20 = x
44 = x
Jim's lunch was $44.
Answer:
The total value of the discount was $10.80.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are finding the value of the discount, we just need to find 18% of 60.
We can convert 18% into a decimal.
18%=0.18
Multiply.
0.18*60=10.8
The total value of the discount was $10.80.
