Answer:

x = 17 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding segments are proportional.

(3x)/(4x) = (3x +7)/(5x -8)

3(5x -8) = 4(3x +7) . . . . . . . . multiply by 4(5x-8)

15x -24 = 12x +28 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

3x = 52 . . . . . . . . . . add 24-12x

x = 17 1/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation that represents this order expressed as;

The number of tiles = 12b + 38 where;

b is the the number of bundles ordered

If a customer needs 150 tiles, the total number of bundles ordered can be gotten by simply substituting The number of tiles into the modeled equation and find the value of b. This is as shown below;

On substituting;

150 = 12b + 38

12b = 150 - 38

12b = 112

b = 112/12

b = 9.33

b ≈ 9 bundles

We need to round up the problem because the number of tiles can not be in fraction but as whole numbers.

Which of the following points does Not lie on the graph of y =3x

nalin [4]

Answer:

(2,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The options of the questions are

(0,1) (1,3) (2,6) (3,27)

and the given function is $y=3^x$

we know that

If a ordered pair lie on the graph of the given equation, then the ordered pair must satisfy the given equation

Verify each ordered pair

case 1) (0,1)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the linear equation and then compare the results

$1=3^0$

$1=1$ ----> is true

The ordered pair lie on the graph of the given equation

case 2) (1,3)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the linear equation and then compare the results

$3=3^1$

$3=3$ ----> is true

The ordered pair lie on the graph of the given equation

case 3) (2,6)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the linear equation and then compare the results

$6=3^2$

$6=9$ ----> is not true

The ordered pair not lie on the graph of the given equation

case 4) (3,27)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the linear equation and then compare the results

$27=3^3$

$27=27$ ----> is true

The ordered pair lie on the graph of the given equation
