Answer:

The third term of a proportional is: 84

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if a, b, c and d are in proportion, then:

a × d = b × c

In our case, we are given the first, second, and fourth terms are 24, 36, 126.

a = 24

b = 36

d = 126

and we have to determine the third term 'c'.

as we know that if a, b, c, and d are in proportion, then:

a × d = b × c

Thus,

substituting a = 24, b = 36, d = 126 to determine

24 × 126 = 36 × c

c = (24 × 126)/36

c = 3024/36

c = 84

Thus, the third term of a proportional is: 84

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are equal to each other (vertical angles)

Hence:

9y + 7 = 2y + 98

9y - 2y = 98 - 7 (Minus both sides by 2y and 7)

7y = 91 (Simplify)

y = 13 (Divide both sides by 7)

What is the x-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations 3x-2y=-30 6x+3y=3

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

You can subtract the second equation from the first equation to eliminate y:

7x + y = 25 – 6x + y = 23: 7x – 6x = x; y – y = 0; 25 – 23 = 2

x = 2

You could also solve one equation for y and substitute that value in for y in the other equation:

6x + y = 23 → y = 23 – 6x.

7x + y = 25 → 7x + (23 – 6x) = 25 → x + 23 = 25 → x = 2

When testing for current in a cable with eight color-coded wires, the author used a meter to test five wires at a time. How man

balu736 [363]

Answer:

56 different tests

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of wires available (n) = 8

Number of wires taken at a time for testing (r) = 5

In order to find the number of different tests required for every possible pairing of five wires, we need to find the combination rather than their permutation as order of wires doesn't disturb the testing.

So, finding the combination of 5 pairs of wires from a total of 8 wires is given as:

$^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

Plug in the given values and solve. This gives,

$^8C_5=\frac{8!}{5!(8-5)!}\\\\^8C_5=\frac{8\times 7\times 6\times 5!}{5!\times 3\times2\times1}\\\\^8C_5=56$

Therefore, 56 different tests are required for every possible pairing of five wires.
