Solve the following proportion.<br> х<br> 42<br> 35<br> 10

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion is equal to $\frac{x}{10}=\frac{42}{35}$

We can simplify the right side by dividing by 7/7 to get the right side equal to 6/5. Now we can cross-multiply to get

$60=5x$

Dividing both sides by 5, we have the answer as

$x=12$

Solve the system of equations.

Alenkasestr [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Substitute x from the second equation into the second one</u>

$2x - 9y = 14$

$2(-6y + 7) - 9y = 14$

$(2 * -6y) + (2 * 7) - 9y = 14$

$-12y + 14 - 9y = 14$

$-21y +14 - 14 = 14 - 14$

$-21y/-21 = 0 / -21$

$y = 0$

<u>Step 2: Substitute y into the second equation</u>

$x = -6y + 7$

$x = -6(0) + 7$

$x = 0 + 7$

$x = 7$

Answer: $x = 7, y = 0$

ULT ma<br> 4. Write an expression, then evaluate.<br> a. 1/4of the sum of 18 and 6

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer: Required expression: $\dfrac14\times(18+16)$

Result: $\dfrac{17}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given phrase: $" \dfrac14\text{ of the sum of } 18\text{ and }6. "$

Required expression: $\dfrac14\times(18+16)$ ['+' used to express sum, 'x' used in place of 'of']

Since 18+16 = 34

Then,

$\dfrac14\times(18+16)=\dfrac14\times34 \\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times17\ \ \text{[Divide numerator and denominator by 2]}\\\\=\dfrac{17}{2}$

Hence, $\dfrac14\times(18+16)=\dfrac{17}{2}.$
