Pls help find x in both

Mathematics
1 answer:
RUDIKE [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar triangles, corresponding sides are in same ratio

\frac{28}{24} = \frac{3x-9}{x +8}\\\\\frac{7}{6}=\frac{3x-9}{x+8}\\

Cross multiply,

7*(x + 8) = 6*(3x -9 )

7x + 7*8 = 6*3x - 6*9

7x +  56   = 18x - 54

          56 = 18x - 7x -54

          56 = 11x - 54

         11x - 54 = 56

               11x  = 56 +54

                11x = 110

               x = 110 /11

x = 10

PR = 3x -9

     = 30 - 9

PR = 21

One of the smallest pools on the ship has about 45,000 gallons of water in it.
gtnhenbr [62]

Amount of water in the pool at the end of the day is 5457798.7 gallons

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Initial amount of water in the pool = 45,000 gallons

Increase in amount = 0.75 in per minute

Time, t = 1 day

t = 24 X 60 min

t = 1440 min

So,

Increase in amount of water in 1 day = 0.75 in X 1440

                                                             = 1080 in

Volume of 1080 in of water = (1080 in)³

Volume from cubic inch to gallon = 5453298.7 gallon

Amount of water in the pool at the end of the day = 45000 + 5453298.7 gallon

                                                                                   = 5457798.7 gallon

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

x = 5

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the second equation by -1 and add the first equation to eliminate "x"

4x+6y=44\\-4x-2y=-28
_____________

       4y=16

y=16/4 =4

Replace "y" in the first equation:

4x+6(4)=44

4x+24=44

4x=44-24

x=20/4=5

Hope this helps
