Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

2:x:4

Lana Omar and George

Omar's share is 10 JD

22-10 is 12

2x+4x=12

6x=12

x=2

So put the ratio to

4:2x:8

x=5

x is 5.

Hope this helps Merry Christmas!

There are 8 performers who will present their comedy acts this weekend at a comedy club. One of the performers insists on being

Korvikt [17]

This is a permutations problem. There are only 7 comics you can move into different time slots, the 8th one being fixed in that last position. So you can look at it this way:
For the 1st position, you can choose from all 7 people. Once you've picked that one, you have 6 people to choose from for the 2nd position, and similarly for the remaining ones . This gives you 7x6x5x4x3x2x1 = 5040 ways to arrange them. And the last comic stays in the same position all the time so does not change this number. Make sense? If you need to demonstrate it to yourself, use a smaller number of comics, like 3 or 4, and write out the combinations to see that it works.

Isaiah knows that 1/4 is written 0.25 as a decimal. How can he find a decimal for 5/4 without dividing?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4*5= 5/4

1 1/4

or do the same with decimals

(1/4=0.25)*5=

0.25*5=1.25

1.25=5/4=1 1/4

Find the slope of the line. A.) 3/2 B.) - 2/3 C.) - 3/4 D.) 4/3

Julli [10]

Option C is your answer.

It's a negative sloping line which eliminates A and D. Then you just do the whole rise-over-run deal to get the 3/4 part.

What is the value of x?

Nikolay [14]

Answer: 7 centimeters

Explanation:

Let triangle ABC and triangle CDE form a bow tie such that
- triangle ABC is smaller than triangle CDE
- Segment AC and segment CD are the north sides
- Segment BC and segment CE are the bottom sides
- AC = 6, CD = 42, CE = 36, BC = x

Since angle ACB and angle ECD are formed by intersecting segment AE and segment BD at point C, they are vertical angles. (See the attached picture) So, angle ACB and angle ECD are congruent.

Moreover when we form our bowtie, point A is in the north side and point E is in the bottom sides and this implies that angle BAC and angle CED are alternate interior angles as shown in the attached figure.

Since it is given in the problem that alternating interior angle are congruent, angle BAC and angle CED are congruent.

Now, we have the following pairs of angles in triangle ABC and triangle CDE that are congruent:

- angle BAC and angle CED
- angle ACB and angle ECD

By AA Similarity theorem, when we have two pairs of congruent angles for two triangles, then the two triangles are similar. So, triangle ABC and triangle CDE are similar.

In similar triangles, the sides that are opposite to the congruent angles are proportional to each other. So,

$\frac{BC}{CD} = \frac{AC}{CE} 


$ (1)

Since $AC = 6, CD = 42, CE = 36, BC = x$ , we can substitute these values to equation (1). So, equation (1) becomes

$\frac{x}{42} = \frac{6}{36}$
$\frac{x}{42} = \frac{1}{6}$ (2)

SInce we are solving for x, we can multiply both sides of equation (2) by the denominator at the left side which is 42 so that

x = 42(1/6)
x = 7 centimeters
