Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So 750 and 48.75

so tax is a percent of the whole or 750

750=100%

48.75=x%

750/100=48.75/x

solve for x

multiply both sides by x

750x/100=48.75

multiply both sides by 100

750x=4875

divide both sides by 750

x=6.5

the asnwe ris 6.5%

$14.\:\:\overline{RT}=3.3\:ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the definition of similar triangle, we have the equation for problem no. 14 as:

$\frac{\overline{QT}}{\overline{RT}}=\frac{\overline{RT}}{\overline{TS}}\\\\\frac{5}{x}=\frac{x}{2.2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=3.3$

Find the value of x and yz of y is between x and z 8. XY = 4x, YZ = 3x, and XZ = 42

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

x = 6
YZ = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume this is a geometry question in which point Y is between X and Z on the segment XZ. Then the appropriate relation is ...

XY +YZ = XZ

4x +3x = 42

7x = 42

x = 6

3x = 18 = YZ
