Answer:
x=25.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know because of corresponding angles, the sum of the angle adjacent to (2x-5) and (2x-5) is 180 degrees
2x-5+5x+10=180
7x+5=180
7x=175
x=25
30,000 - 19,500 = 10,500 gallons left to fill the pool. So I am assuming the answer would be w = 10,500 gallons... unless there was an equation missing in the question
1/2÷ 3/8=4/3. To divide one fraction by another, invert (turn upside-down) the second fraction, then multiply.
Answer:
c = 15d + 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
This can be represented by an equation of a line, where the number of days is our x-values(d), and the price is our y-values(c).
The price for one day ($45) and the price for 4 days($90) are specific points on that line.
The points are (1, 45) and (4, 90).
We can first find the slope of the line:
- As the price rises 45, the days increase by 3
- Slope = rise/run
- Slope = 45/3
- Slope = 15
Now we can find the base price, by plugging the slope and a point into the equation y = mx + b.
Solve for b:
- y = mx + b
- 45 = 15(1) + b
- 45 = 15 + b
- 30 = b
The base price (b) is 30.
The equation is 
This can be solved by making an equivalent ratio.
The original ratio is what we know, 15 inches of wire for 90 cents.
In a ratio of inches of wire:cents, this would be 15:90.
Now for the equivalent ratio.
We don't know the number in the inches place but we do know it for the cents place.
Let's use x to represent inches of wire.
x:48 is our new ratio, and we need to find x.
Since x:48 and 15:90 are equivalent, that means the same thing that was done to 90 to get 48 has to be done to 15 to get the value of x, since the same thing must be applied to both sides.
We can find what 90 was divided by (which is what we'll have to divide 15 by) by dividing 90 by 48.
90 / 48 = 1.875
This means 48 • 1.875 = 90 and x • 1.875 = 15.
Since we don't know x though, we can isolate it by dividing both sides by 1.875.
x • 1.875 = 15
x • 1.875 / 1.875 = x
15 / 1.875 = 8
So x is 8.
Answer:
While you can be 15 inches of wire for 90 cents, you can buy 8 inches of wire for 48 cents at the same rate.
