Answer:

The student is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 5x² = 20:

It is true that the value of x = 2 because 2² = 4, and when you multiply 4 with 5, you'll get a product of 20:

5x² = 20

5(2)² = 20

5(4) = 20

20 = 20

Therefore, the student is correct that x = 2.

In the following figure, triangle ABC and triangle DEF are similar. What is the value of x ? Triangle ABC and triangle DEF are s

Shtirlitz [24]

X = 25.5 mm.

Using the similarity statement given, that ΔABC ~ ΔDEF, we set up a proportion:

8.5/x = 4/12

Cross multiply:
4*x = 8.5*12
4x = 102

Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 102/4
x = 25.5

6 more than twice a number is greater than negative sixteen

Alexxandr [17]

Writing the problem as an equation you have:

2x+6 > -16

Solve for x:

2x+6 > -16

Subtract 6 from each side:

2x > -22

Divide both sides by 2:

x > -11

The answer is: x > -11

Valentin [98]

Answer:

8.4 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The error is in the resolution of the proportion. In fact, the initial proportion is correct:

$\frac{5}{3.5}=\frac{12}{x}$

where x is the total cost. However, the following step of the resolution is wrong. In fact, the correct resolution is the following:

- Multiplying by x on both sides:

$\frac{5x}{3.5}=12$

- Multiplying by 3.5 no both sides:

$5 x = 12 \cdot 3.5 \\5x = 42$

And now we can find x:

$x=\frac{42}{5}=8.4$

So, the total cost is 8.4 dollars.
