Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
since it’s isosceles trapezoid, diagonals are equal.
x+10=2x+5
x=5
It would cost $72 dollars to cover the larger garden
Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.
x + y + z = 79
x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first
Therefor,
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x
x + 5x + x + 16 = 79
Add all like numbers:
7x + 16 = 79
To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.
7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63
To get x, divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9
To check. Substitute x by 9.
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.
I’m pretty sure the 2nd one is the associate property and the 3rd one is the additive inverse property
Hope this helps :)
<span>96/x=100/33
(96/x)*x=(100/33)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
96=3.0303030303*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0303030303) to get x
96/3.0303030303=x
31.68=x
x=31.68
now we have:
33% of 96=31.68
