Answer:

x = 21.6

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solution by Cross Multiplication</u>

For the equation

35=x36

The cross product is

3×36=5×x

Solving for x

x=3×365

and reducing

x=21.6

<u>Solution by Proportion</u>

Since the equation is an equality

36 ÷ 5 = 7.2

Then it is true that

x ÷ 3 = 7.2

Solving for x

x = 3 × 7.2

x = 21.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by Subsitution

$x = 50 - y$

Replace this into the second equation

$y(50 - y) = 300$

$50y - {y}^{2} = 300$

Write in standard form

$- {y}^{2} + 50y = 300$

Use the quadratic formula, and our answer will be

(6.97,43.02)

(43.02,6.97)

What is the solution set? 1/2x - 6.5 > 12

Nana76 [90]

Answer: x > 37
Step 1: You add 6.5 to both sides so you end up with:
1/2x > 18.5
Step 2: You then Multiple both sides by the reciprocal of 1/2 which is 2/1.
(2/1)1/2x > 18.5(2/1)
Step 3: Work it out and you will have x by itself.
x > 37
