Answer: x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable. :)
This is something you would do through trial and error. At least, that's the approach I took. I'm not sure if there is any algorithm to solve. The solution I got is shown in the attached image below. There are probably other solutions possible. The trick is to keep each number separate but not too far away so that the other numbers to be filled in later don't get too crowded to their neighbor.
Side note: any mirror copy of what I posted would work as well since you can flip the page around and it's effectively the same solution.
The ratio of pop songs to rock songs you download is 5:4, and 40 are pop songs. You want to find out how many rock songs there are.
First, add the ratios together: 5+4=9. This means that 9 will be your denominator, so 5/9 songs are pop and 4/9 songs are rock.
Now you know that pop songs account for 5/9 of the songs, this means that 40 is 5/9 of the total songs.
To find out how much 4/9 is, you need to divide 40 by 5 to get 1/9 and times that number by 4 to get 4/9:
40÷5=8×4=32 songs are rock songs
Answer:
25 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a right triangle with a 15m hypotenuse and a 8m leg. If we use x for the missing leg then the Pythagorean Theorem states that:

Then we have to solve that equation for x:
![\begin{gathered} x^2=15^2-8^2=225-64 \\ x^2=161 \\ x=\sqrt[]{161} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20x%5E2%3D15%5E2-8%5E2%3D225-64%20%5C%5C%20x%5E2%3D161%20%5C%5C%20x%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B161%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
So the answer is the square root of 161.
