Answer:
<em>C. 15</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that these segments formed from each parallel line are proportional, x/5 = x-6/3.
Now cross multiply by multiplying each denominator by the opposite numerator, this is so the denominators or bottom numbers of each fraction will cancel.
x/5 = x–6/3 → (3)(x/5) = (3)(x–6/3) → 3x/5 = x–6 →
(5)(3x/5) = (5)(x–6) → 3x = 5(x–6) → 3x = 5x – 30.
The last step is to do the basic algebra to find x:
3x = 5x – 30
–5x –5x
[5x will cancel when you subtract both sides by 5x]
-2x = -30
(-1) (-1)
[2 negatives make a positive when -1 is multiplied by an expression with a negative coefficient]
2x = 30
÷2 ÷2
[divide both sides by 2 to simplify 2x to x]
x = 15
_____
You can also check that both sides are proportional because
5 → x
x = 15
5 → 15
3 → x – 6
x = 15
3 → 9
5 × <u>3</u> = 15
3 × <u>3</u> = 9
Hi there! 5 bottles of water for $3 would make $0.60 per bottle. 0.6 * 15 = 9. That means 15 bottles of water should equal $9, but instead it is $8. Based on that, no. The costs for bottles of water is not proportional to the numbers sold. Basically, you can divide to find unit prices and multiply the number of another item to see if the numbers are proportional.
Answer:
The probability of its compliments = 0.7143 = 5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of an events = P= 2/7 = 0.2857
The probability of its compliments = 1-p = 1-0.2857 = 0.7143 = 5/7
(3x-5)(2x-7)
6x^2 - 21 x -10x +35
6x^2 -31x +35
The first one
