Answer:

x = 6 , x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A line parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides then divides those sides proportionally, that is

\frac{x}{18} = \frac{28-21}{21} = \frac{7}{21} = \frac{1}{3} ( cross- multiply )

3x = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 6

(14)

\frac{x+5}{15} = \frac{5x+1}{35} ( cross- multiply )

15(5x + 1) = 35(x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

75x + 15 = 35x + 175 ( subtract 35x from both sides )

40x + 15 = 175 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

40x = 160 ( divide both sides by 40 )

x = 4

The temperature went from -6°F to -11°F. What was the change in temperature?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

5°F is the change of temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the two numbers

(-11) - (-6) = -11 + 6 = -5

It is asking for the change, and so the sign does not matter in this case.

There is a 5°F change to the temperature.

A rectangle of perimeter 74 cm is 7cm longer than it is wide. what is the length of each side?​
Mumz [18]

I assume that you mean: the length is 7cm more than the width, and the perimeter is 74 cm.

If so, we can write down the following system, where l and w represent, respectively, the length and the width:

\begin{cases}l=w+7\\2(l+w)=74\end{cases} \iff \begin{cases}l=w+7\\l+w=37\end{cases} \iff \begin{cases}l=w+7\\(w+7)+w=37\end{cases}

We can easily solve the second equation:

(w+7)+w=37 \iff 2w+7=37 \iff 2w=30 \iff w=15

And finally solve for the length:

l=w+7=15+7=22

The physical plant at the main campus of a large state university receives daily requests to replace fluorescent light bulbs. Th
ankoles [38]

We have been given that the distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of 38 and a standard deviation of 6. We are asked to find the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 38 and 56.

First of all, we will find z-score corresponding to 38 and 56.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

z=\frac{38-38}{6}=\frac{0}{6}=0

Now we will find z-score corresponding to 56.

z=\frac{56-38}{6}=\frac{18}{6}=3

We know that according to Empirical rule approximately 68% data lies with-in standard deviation of mean, approximately 95% data lies within 2 standard deviation of mean and approximately 99.7% data lies within 3 standard deviation of mean that is -3\sigma\text{ to }3\sigma.

We can see that data point 38 is at mean as it's z-score is 0 and z-score of 56 is 3. This means that 56 is 3 standard deviation above mean.

We know that mean is at center of normal distribution curve. So to find percentage of data points 3 SD above mean, we will divide 99.7% by 2.

\frac{99.7\%}{2}=49.85\%

Therefore, approximately 49.85\% of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 38 and 56.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

She spent 2 1/5 of her allowance

Step-by-step explanation:

SOOOO, 3 and 5 multiplied make 15.. Right?

So, what is 1/3 of 15? it's 5

So, what is 2/5 of 15? It's 6

so 5+6=11

11/15

and reduce

so 2 1/5

I hope this helps
