The answers are: 20 and 25.
Answer:
<em>C. 15</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that these segments formed from each parallel line are proportional, x/5 = x-6/3.
Now cross multiply by multiplying each denominator by the opposite numerator, this is so the denominators or bottom numbers of each fraction will cancel.
x/5 = x–6/3 → (3)(x/5) = (3)(x–6/3) → 3x/5 = x–6 →
(5)(3x/5) = (5)(x–6) → 3x = 5(x–6) → 3x = 5x – 30.
The last step is to do the basic algebra to find x:
3x = 5x – 30
–5x –5x
[5x will cancel when you subtract both sides by 5x]
-2x = -30
(-1) (-1)
[2 negatives make a positive when -1 is multiplied by an expression with a negative coefficient]
2x = 30
÷2 ÷2
[divide both sides by 2 to simplify 2x to x]
x = 15
_____
You can also check that both sides are proportional because
5 → x
x = 15
5 → 15
3 → x – 6
x = 15
3 → 9
5 × <u>3</u> = 15
3 × <u>3</u> = 9
Hey!
72/5 ÷ 4/5
All you have to do is divide 72 by 4 because the denominator is the same.
72 ÷ 4 = 18
Answer ⇒ 18 catalogs
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
6 ways - ab,ac, ba,bc and ca,cb
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given 3 letters a,b,c.
We can choose the first letter in 1 out of 3 ways.
Once the first letter has been chosen without replacement, we have two letters remaining. Another letter can be chosen from the 2 remaining letters in 2 ways. So the total number of ways of choosing the two letters is 3*2 = 6.
Listing out the possible set of choices:
Options include: ab,ac, ba,bc and ca, cb
