Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are similar triangles, their sides are proportional

12 : 15 :: 8 : x - 4

Product of extremes = Product of means

12 × ( x- 4 ) = 15 × 8

12x -48 = 120

12x = 120 + 48

12x = 168

x = 168/12

x = 14

Darina [25.2K]

12x2= $24
24+28+45= $97

So $97 is 100%

So 100%-30% =70% (30% off)
(note: 70% = 70/100 = 0.7)

97 x 0.7 = $67.90

a wildlife photographer photographs a crocodile and then paddles against a river current for 6 km. Then, hoping to photograph a

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

5 km/h or 6 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the boat be x
Speed against the current in the river is x - 2

Time in the river:

6/(x - 2)

Time in the lake:

15/x

The difference:

6/(x - 2) = 15/x - 1

Solve for x to find the speed of the boat

Multiply both sides by x(x - 2) to clear the fraction:

6x = 15(x - 2) - x(x - 2)
6x = 15x - 30 - x² + 2x
x² - 11x + 30 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 6) =0
x -5 = 0, x - 6 = 0
x = 5 km/h, x = 6 km/h
