I must assume that you meant 14/20 = 17 / (x+12).  If so, it's important to use parentheses to indicate that you are dividing 17 by (x+12).

Then your equation of proportions (ratios) is

  14              17
------ = -----------------
20              x+12

Let's cross-multiply:  14(x+12) = 340

Divide both sides by 14 to isolate (x+12):  x+12 = 340/14 = 24.29

Subtracting 12 from both sides, we get x = 12.29

You should check this answer by subst. it into the original equation of ratios.

<span>Solve thr proprtion for x. 14/20=17/x+12</span>cross multiply:
14 * x + 12 = 20 * 17
Simplifying14 * x + 12 = 20 * 17
Reorder the terms:14 * 12 + x = 20 * 1712 * 14 + x * 14 = 20 * 17168 + 14x = 20 * 17
Multiply 20 * 17168 + 14x = 340
Solving168 + 14x = 340
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-168' to each side of the equation.168 + -168 + 14x = 340 + -168
Combine like terms: 168 + -168 = 00 + 14x = 340 + -16814x = 340 + -168
Combine like terms: 340 + -168 = 17214x = 172
Divide each side by '14'.x = 12.28571429
Simplifyingx = 12.28571429

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Answer:

1cm = 50

2 cm = 50 x 2

3cm = 50 x 3

and the inverse:50m = 50/50 = 1cm

100m = 100/50 = 2cm

150m = 150/50 = 3cm

The friendly sausage factory (fsf) can produce hot dogs at a rate of 5,000 per day. fsf supplies hot dogs to local restaurants a
juin [17]

Answer:

a. 21 327 hot dogs/run

b. 70 runs/yr

c. 4 da/run

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

Production rate (p)           = 5000/da

Usage rate (u)                  =    260/da

Setup cost (S)                   = $66

Annual carrying cost (H) = $0.45/hot dog

Production days (d)         = 294 da

Calculations:

a. Optimal run size

(i) Annual demand (D) = pd = (5000 hot dogs/1 day) × (294 days/1 yr)

= 1 470 000 hot dogs/yr

(ii) Economic run size

Q_{0}= \sqrt{\frac{2DS }{ h}\times\frac{ p}{p-u }}

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times1470000\times66 }{ 0.45}\times\frac{ 5000}{5000-260 }}

= \sqrt{431200000\times\frac{ 5000}{4740 }}

= \sqrt{454852321}

= 21 327 hot dogs/run

b. Number of runs per year

Runs = D/Q₀ = (1 470 000 hot dogs/1yr) × (1 run/21 327 hotdogs)

= 70 runs/yr

c. Length of a run

Length = Q₀/p = (21 327 hot dogs/1 run) × (1 da/5000 hot dogs)

= 4 da/run
