Answer: 24
15/5=x/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar and the right hand triangle is 3 times larger than the other.
Similar because two angles are equal so the third is also. One angle is marked as equal, and one is formed by intersecting lines and so is equal to the corresponding angle.
The rate of the slower jet is 672 miles per hour.
The rate of the slower jet is 752 miles per hour.
<h3>How to find the rate of the jets?</h3>
Two jets leave an air base at the same time and travel in opposite directions.
One jet travels 80 mi/h faster than the other.
let
x = rate of the slower jet
faster jet = 80 + x
Therefore,
rate = distance / time
The two jets are 11392 miles apart.
(80 + x)8 + 8x = 11392
640 + 8x + 8x = 11392
640 + 16x = 11392
16x = 11392 - 640
16x = 10752
divide both sides by 16
x = 10752 / 16
x = 672 miles per hour
rate of the faster jet = 80 + 672 = 752 miles per hour

Um. It might be 100. I do not now. Sorry
Please see below solution:
Let x = number of books that Bryan reads2x for amanda = Amanda 3x - 4 for Colin Amanda = 5/8(Bryan + Colin)2x = 5/8(x+3x-4)2x = 5/8(4x-4)
[16x = 5(4x-4)]816x = 20x - 20Subtract 20x from each side-4x =-20-4x/-4= -20/-4 divide -4 to eliminate the -4 in -4xx = 5
Therefore:
Bryan reads 5 books a month.
Since Amanda reads twice as many books a Bryan read so Amanda 10 books a month.
And Colin 11 books a month. 3(5) - 4 = 11
