Answer in fraction form: x = 55/4
Answer in decimal form: x = 13.75
Both forms are equivalent, but they say it in a slightly different way.
===========================================================
Work Shown:
AC/QY = CD/YW
(x+5)/15 = 5/4
4(x+5) = 15*5
4x+20 = 75
4x = 75-20
4x = 55
x = 55/4
x = 13.75
------------
Explanations:
- The first step is possible because the polygons are similar. Similar figures have their corresponding sides be in the same proportion or ratio. Note how side AC has the double red angle (at point A) and a single red angle (point C). The side QY has the same idea in the same order. This is why AC corresponds to QY. The ratio AC/QY is the same as CD/YW.
- In the second step, I plugged in the expressions that the diagram shows. This is the substitution property.
- On step 3, I cross multiplied. The general format is A/B = C/D cross multiplies to A*D = B*C.
Since we already know that the older child is a girl (a 100% chance to be a girl), there must be a 50% chance that the other child is a girl. Therefore, the probability that both children are girls is 50%.

605,50/70= 929 per liter or 9.29 if it was suppose to be 605.50 price.
7 1/12 - 2 3/4
First we have to change mixed numbers to improper fractions
7 1/12 = 7 x 12 + 1 = 85 85/12
2 3/4 = 2 x 4 + 3 = 11 11/4
85/12 - 11/4
Now we need to find the LCD (least common denominator) for 4 and 12
4, 8, 12
12
12 is our LCD, so it becomes our new denominator
85/12 would stay the same because the denominator wasn't changed but for 11/4 our new denominator is 12, so our fraction will change.
11/4 = 33/12
4 goes into 12, 3 times. What you do to the bottom, you do to the top.
3 x 11 = 33
3 x 4 = 12
So, our new fraction is 33/12. Now we subtract
85/12 - 33/12 = 52/12
Now we convert back to a mixed number
52 ÷ 12 = 4 4/12 reduce
4 1/3
Hope this helps.
Answer:
a = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
2a + 7 = 15
- 7 - 7
2a = 8
/2 /2
a = 4
