Answer:

x as a fraction: 11\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable x cannot be equal to −2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9(x+2), the least common multiple of 9,x+2.

2 ( x+ 2) = 9 x 3

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x + 2.

2x + 4 = 9 x 3

Multiply 9 and 3 to get 27.

2x + 4 = 27

Subtract 4 from both sides.

2x = 27 - 4

Subtract 4 from 27 to get 23.

2x = 23

Divide both sides by 2.

x = \frac{23}{2}

Simplify

11\frac{1}{2}

Hope it helps and have a great day! =D

Answer:

x=\frac{23}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!
We are given the following proportion:

\frac{2}{9} =\frac{3}{x+2}, and we want to solve it for x

To solve proportions, we can cross-multiply; in other words, we can multiply the terms in the numerator of one proportion with the terms in the denominator of the second proportion.

This is a property that where if you have the proportion \frac{a}{b} =\frac{c}{d}, it can also be represented as ad=bc
So let's cross multiply; multiply 2 by x+2, and multiply 9 by 3. Then, set them equal to each other.

2(x+2)=9*3

Multiply

2x+4=27
Subtract 4 from both sides

2x=23

Divide both sides by 2

x=\frac{23}{2}
The answer can be left as that.
Hope this helps!

Two triangular roofs are similar. The ratio of the corresponding sides of these roofs is 2:3. If the altitude of the smaller roo
schepotkina [342]

Answer:  6.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the ratio of the side of the similar triangle = 2 : 3

Thus, by the property of similar triangle,

The ratio of the altitudes of the triangle = 2 : 3

Let the altitude of smaller triangle = 2 x

And, the altitude of larger triangle = 3 x

Where x is any number.

According to the question,

2 x = 4.5

x = 2.25

Therefore, the altitude of larger triangle = 3 × 2.25 = 6.75 feet

Three security cameras were mounted at the corners of a triangles parking lot. Camera 1 was 110 ft from camera 2, which was 137
Nata [24]

Answer:

<em>Camera 2nd has to cover the maximum angle, i.e. </em>78.70^\circ.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please have a look at the triangular park represented as a triangle \triangle ABC with sides

a = 110 ft

b = 158 ft

c = 137 ft

1st camera is located at point C, 2nd camera at point B and 3rd camera at point A respectively.

We can use law of cosines here, to find out the angles \angle A, \angle B, \angle C

As per Law of cosine:

cos C = \dfrac{a^{2}+b^2-c^2 }{2ab}\\cos B = \dfrac{a^{2}+c^2-b^2 }{2ac}\\cos A = \dfrac{b^{2}+c^2-a^2 }{2bc}

Putting the values of a,b and c to find out angles \angle A, \angle B, \angle C.

cos C = \dfrac{110^{2}+158^2-137^2 }{2\times 110 \times 158}\\\Rightarrow cos C = \dfrac{12100+24964-18769 }{24760}\\\Rightarrow cos C =0.526\\\Rightarrow C = 58.24^\circ

cos B = \dfrac{110^{2}+137^2-158^2 }{2\times 110 \times 137}\\\Rightarrow cos B = \dfrac{12100+18769 -24964}{30140}\\\Rightarrow cos B = \dfrac{5905}{30140}\\\Rightarrow cos B =0.196\\\Rightarrow B = 78.70^\circ

cos A = \dfrac{158^{2}+137^2-110^2 }{2\times 158 \times 137}\\\Rightarrow cos A = \dfrac{24964+18769-12100}{43292}\\\Rightarrow cos A = \dfrac{31633}{43292}\\\Rightarrow cos A = 0.731\\\Rightarrow A = 43.05^\circ

<em>Camera 2nd has to cover the maximum angle</em>, i.e. 78.70^\circ.

Compute the loss of head and pressure drop in 200 ft of horizontal 6-in diameter asphalted cast iron pipe carrying water with a
laiz [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

12 inches = 1 ft.

6 inches = 6 inches * (1 ft./12 inches) = 0.5 ft.

Therefore the diameter of the cast iron (D) = 6 inches = 0.5 ft.

The area of cast iron (A) = πD²/4 = π(0.5)²/4 = 0.196 ft²

The velocity (V) = 6 ft./s, the acceleration due to gravity (g) = 32.2 ft./s²

ε/D = 0.0004 ft./ 0.5 ft. = 0.0008

Using the moody chart, find the line ε/D = 0.0008 and determine the point of intersection with the vertical line R = 2.7 * 10⁵. Hence we get f = 0.02.

The head loss (h) is:

h_f=f*\frac{L}{d}* \frac{V^2}{2g}=0.02*\frac{200\ ft}{0.5\ ft} *\frac{(6\ ft/s)^2}{2*32.2\ ft/s^2}=4.5\ ft

The pressure drop (Δp) is:

Δp = ρgh_f = (62.4\ lbf/ft^3)(4.5\ ft)= 280\ lbf/ft^2
