3/x = 5/(x+4)
5x = 3(x+4)
5x = 3x + 12
5x - 3x = 12
2x = 12
x = 6

Answer:

C. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the rectangles in the figure are similar.

<em>Thus, the corresponding sides of the two rectangles will be equal.</em>

So, we get,

\frac{3}{x}=\frac{5}{x+4}

i.e. 3(x+4)=5x

i.e. 3x+12=5x

i.e. 2x=12

i.e. x = 6.

Hence, the value of x is 6.

The quotient of a secret number and 4 is 9
Anna [14]
Let's call the 'secret number' <em>x</em>.

A quotient is basically a Dividend/Divisor. If the Divisor is 4, we need to find the dividend, which is <em>x</em>.

<em />Therefore:
<em>x/4=9
</em><em />We need to isolate the variable by the multiplication property of equality.
<em>x=36</em>.

As a result, the "secret number" is 36

Write an exponential function in the form y=ab^xy=ab
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

y = 8 · 10ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

y = abˣ

When x = 0, y = 8.

8 = ab⁰

8 = a

When x = 3, y = 8000.

8000 = 8b³

1000 = b³

10 = b

The function is:

y = 8 · 10ˣ
