Answer

The missing length is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the missing length with x

The sides of the given shape are directly proportional.

Mathematically:

(15 + x) to (12 + 8) and x to 7

Represent as a ratio:

(15 + x) : (12 + 8) = x : 8

15 + x : 20= x : 8

Convert to fraction

\frac{15 + x}{20} = \frac{x}{8}

Cross Multiply:

(15 + x)*8 = 20 * x

120 + 8x = 20x

Collect Like Terms

20x - 8x = 120

12x = 120

Solve for x

x = \frac{120}{10}

x = 10

<em>The length of the missing side is 10</em>

A study shows that as the temperature decreases, the electric bill increases. Which graph best represents this situation?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The only graph whose line is strait

Step-by-step explanation:

This graph represents the situation because energy bills will have a set amount of money which directly correlates with the amount of energy you use. When it gets cold you use more energy to keep you warm. As you use more energy your price rises at the same pace-thus a strait line.
