What is the value of x in this proportion?

Mathematics

schepotkina [342]3 years ago

Answer:

  (a)  -20 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion can be solved using "cross multiply" as the first step. This eliminates the fractions and turns it into a linear equation.

  2/7 = -5/(x +3) . . . . . given

  2(x +3) = -35 . . . . . . multiply by 7(x +3)

  2x = -41 . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 6

  x = -20 1/2 . . . . . . divide by 2

dedylja [7]

Answer:

The morality of the solution is calculated as 0.859 m. We are required to determine the freezing point depression constant of pure water. The freezing point depression of the solution is given as

T_{f}  = T_{p}  -T_{s} = K_{f} * (morality of solution)

T_{p} and T_{s} are the freezing points of the pure solvent (water, 0°C) andK_{f} = freezing point depression constant of water. Therefore,

T_{f}  = K_{f} *(0.859 m)

=====> (0°C) – (3.00°C) = K_{f}  *(0.859 m)

=====> -3.00°C = K_{f}  *(0.859 m)

Ignore the negative sign (since K_{f} is positive) and get

K_{f} = (3.00°C) / (0.859 m) = 3.492°C/m

The freezing point depression constant of the solvent is 3.5°C kg/mole  

3.5 K.kg/mole (temperature differences are the same in Celsius and Kelvin scales).

Help <br> Solve the following equations, and show/explain your work: 2x+4=18 and 25+3x=15.
nignag [31]

Answer:

2x+4=18

2x=18-4

2x=14

x=14/2

x=7

25+3x=15

3x=15-25

3x= -10

x= -10/3

x= -3.333

Sam and Liam raced each other up and then down the hill. Sam's average speed up the hill was 1 mph, and his average speed down t
Radda [10]

So, we know that it takes Sam 1 mph up and 9 mph down and it takes Liam both 2 mph down and up the hill. So if we divide the 2 mph for Liam by 2 miles (the whole length of the hill)  we will get 1 or 1 hour. Then we do 1/1 (i don't know how to explain this part of why we do that, sorry) and than we do 1 / 9 and we get 1/9 so we add them and get 1 1/9 so that's Sam's time.

      So, Liam took one hour and Sam took 1 and 1/9 hours, in conclusion liam was faster
