**************find x

Mathematics
1 answer:
slavikrds [6]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/(x-2) = 5/(4+x) - set up the ratios of similar sides

2(4 + x) = 5(x - 2) - cross multiply to solve

8 + 2x = 5x - 10   - simplify

18 = 3x                 - simplify to get x on one side of the equation

6 = x                    - divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x

y = 2x

x = -y + 6

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

<em>Substitution</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                     y = 2(-y + 6)
  2. Distribute 2:                         y = -2y + 12
  3. Isolate <em>y</em> terms:                    3y = 12
  4. Isolate <em>y</em>:                               y = 4

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Define equation:                    x = -y + 6
  2. Substitute in <em>y</em>:                       x = -4 + 6
  3. Add:                                        x = 2

Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago
KIM [24]

The expression of the mathematical statement given as "Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago" is x = 4 * (x - 15)

<h3>How to rewrite the statement as an expression?</h3>

The mathematical statement is given as

Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago

From the statement, we have:

x represent Juan's current age

This means that his age 15 years ago is

15 years ago = x - 15

4 times his age 15 years ago is

4 * 15 years ago = 4 * (x - 15)

The above equation is equivalent to his current age

So, we have

x = 4 * (x - 15)

Hence, the expression of the mathematical statement given as "Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago" is x = 4 * (x - 15)

Start with your lowest numbers, 3 bracelets have 24 beads. The easiest way to find your answer is to find out how many beads are on 1 bracelet. So 24/3 will give us that answer. 24/3=8. and then multiply 7 by 8 to get 56. then check your answer to make sure it fits.
3 x 8 = 24
5 x 8 = 40
7 x 8 = 56
9 x 8 = 72
