X=8.
Following the similarity statement, we know that AC is to DF as BC is to EF. The ratio would be:
24/(x-2) = 20/5
Cross multiply:
24*5 = 20(x-2)
Use the distributive property:
120 = 20x - 40
Add 40 to both sides:
120+40 = 20x - 40 + 40
160 = 20x
Divide both sides by 20:
160/20 = 20x/20
8 = x
Answer:
He should buy 4 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
25 divided by 8 is 3.125, but you want to have enough so the least amount you can buy is 4.
4(pi)m^2 = 144(pi)
4m^2 = 144
m^2 = 36
m = 6cm
diameter = 2m
= 2(6)
= 12cm
20/x+11=10/x+3
20(x+3)=10(x+11)
20x + 60 = 10x + 110
10x = 50
x = 5
