Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
We know there are 16 oz in a pound
We can use ratios
15 x
----- = ----------
6 oz 16 oz
Using cross products
15 * 16 = 6x
240 = 6x
divide by 6
240/6 = 6x/6
40 =x
Answer:
x > -15
Step-by-step explanation:
-x / 3 < 5
(-x / 3) * 3 < 5 * 3
-x < 15
x > -15 (Remember to flip the sign when multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number.)
Answer:
18 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The numbers are x and 1/2x.
x + 1/2x = 27
3/2x = 27
x = 18 so the numbers of 18 and 9.
Remark
If the lines are parallel then triangle RQS will be similar to triangle RTP
From that, all three lines in one triangle will bear the same ratio to all three lines of the second triangle.
Givens
PQ = 8
QR = 5
RS = 15
ST = x + 3
Ratio
QR/RP = RS/RT
Sub and solve
RP = 5 + 8
RP = 13
RT = 15 + x + 3
RT = 18 + x
5/13 = 15 / (18 + x) Cross multiply
5(18 + x) = 195 Remove the brackets on the left.
90 + 5x = 195 Subtract 90 from both sides.
5x = 105 Divide by 5
x = 105/5
x = 21 Answer <<<<<<<
