Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
42/14 = 57/x
42x = 57*14
42x = 798
x = 19 months
Answer:
Value of boat = $23,400
Loss of value by boat per year = 8%
To find: - Monthly percent decrease in value of boat.
Solution: - Decrease of value per year = 8% of $23,400 = $1,872. Monthly decrease in value = $1,872/12 = $156. Monthly percentage decrease = ($156/$23,400) * 100 = 0.6667 or 0.67 (rounded to nearest hundredth)

Answer:
65 = <JKL
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two expressions that represent the same thing.
The diagram shows that <JKL = 45 + x
The question states that JKL = 3x + 5
The two expressions must be equal since they represent the same thing.
3x + 5 = x + 45
Subtract 5 from both sides
3x + 5 - 5 = x + 45 - 5
3x = x + 40 Subtract x from both sides
3x - x = x - x + 40
2x = 40 Divide by 2
2x/2 = 40/2
x = 20
So x + 45 = 20 + 45 = 65
or
3x + 5 = 3*20 + 5 = 60 + 5 = 65
