Solve the proportion​

Answer:

\boxed{\sf{{x=\dfrac{8}{5}=1.6}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do to solve this is isolate the term of x from one side of the equation.

\sf{\dfrac{x}{4}=\dfrac{2}{5}  }

First, you multiply by 4 from both sides.

\sf{\dfrac{4x}{4}=\dfrac{2*4}{5}  }

Then, solve.

\sf{2*4=8}

\sf{=\dfrac{8}{5} }

Also, you can divide.

<u>8/5=1.6</u>

<u></u>

Therefore, the answer is 8/5=1.6

I hope this helps! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.

Solve the system of linear equations using multiplication.

Answer:

(8,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is:

3x+3y=21

6x+12y=36

Since I prefer to use smaller numbers I'm going to divide both sides of the first equation by 3 and both sides of the equation equation by 6.

This gives me the system:

x+y=7

x+2y=6

We could solve the first equation for x and replace the second x with that.

Let's do that.

x+y=7

Subtract y on both sides:

x=7-y

So we are replacing the second x in the second equation with (7-y) which gives us:

(7-y)+2y=6

7-y+2y=6

7+y=6

y=6-7

y=-1

Now recall the first equation we arranged so that x was the subject. I'm referring to x=7-y.

We can now find x given that y=-1 using the equation x=7-y.

Let's do that.

x=7-y with y=-1:

x=7-(-1)

x=7+1

x=8

So the solution is (8,-1).

We can check this point by plugging it into both equations.

If both equations render true for that point, then we have verify the solution.

Let's try it.

3x+3y=21 with (x,y)=(8,-1):

3(8)+3(-1)=21

24+(-3)=21

21=21 is a true equation so the "solution" looks promising still.

6x+12y=36 with (x,y)=(8,-1):

6(8)+12(-1)=36

48+(-12)=36

36=36 is also true so the solution has been verified since both equations render true for that point.

Need help solving this differentiation problem please. Thank you.
DIA [1.3K]
First convert the terms to fractional exponents

u  =  t^2/3  - 3t^3/2

differentiating

u'  =  2/3 t^ (2/3 - 1) - 3* 3/2  t^(3/2 - 1)

     =  2/3 t ^(-1/3) - 9/2 t ^(1/2)

     =  2 / (3∛t) -  9 √ t / 2   in radical form
