Find the value of x and FG based on the diagram

Mathematics

Answer:

x should be 8 and FG should be 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering segment EF and FG look relatively the same in length, let's assume 2(x-5) = 7.

And assuming both segments are equal to 7, the total would be 14.

3x-12=14

add 12 to 14 which would get you 26

3x=26

divide 26 by 3

which would be 8.666 repeating which for the sake of this we'll round down to 8

check with 2(x-5)

2x-10=7

add 10 to 7

17/2 should equal 8.5 which we'll round down to 8

take this with a grain of salt as I don't know much about college math

Answer:

x = 9,   FG = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The question depends on the relationship EF + FG = EG  (the two shorter segments add up to the long segment).

7 + 2(x - 5) = 3(x - 4)

7 + 2x - 10 = 3x - 12

-3 + 2x = 3x - 12

-3 = x - 12

9 = x

The length FG can be found by substituting 9 for x.

FG = 2(x - 5) = 2(9 - 5) = 2(4) = 8

An inlet pipe can fill an empty swimming pool in 5 hours, and another inlet pipe can fill the pool in 2 hours. How long will it
stich3 [128]

Answer:

1.42 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we must take into account that the speed would be to fill a pool for a time, that this case is in hours, therefore it would be like this:

1/5 for the first pipe

1/2 for the second pipe

Now, we will use both at the same time, therefore:

1/5 + 1/2 = 1 / x

0.7 = 1 / x

x = 1 / 0.7

x = 1.42

That is to say that if we use both we will take a total of 1.42 hours

Jamie sees a sale at the Gaming Store where all games are the same price. He buys 3 video games. His sister talks him into also
galina1969 [7]

Answer: 3x + 5 = 57.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the price of one video game is x. Jamie bought 3 video games so the expression will be:

= 3x

His sister talked him into buying two $1.50 candy bars and a $2.00 drink. The total of this is:

= 1.50 + 1.50 + 2.00

= $5.00

The total amount spent on both the video game and the snacks is $57.50. Equation will therefore be:

3x + 5 = 57.50

Jean can pack 5 cartons in 15 minutes. Which expression can be used to show the number of cartons Jean can pack in x hours? Grou
nadezda [96]

Answer: 20x

Step-by-step explanation:

First we should note that 60 minutes = 1 hour. Therefore, 15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hour

Since Jean can pack 5 cartons in 1/4 hours, the number of carton that he can pack in one hour will be:

= 5 ÷ 1/4

= 5 × 4

= 20 cartons.

Therefore, to get the number of cartons that Jean can pack in x hours, we will multiply 20 by x. This will be:

= 20 × x

= 20x
