Answer:

  • x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since parallel lines cut the transversals proportionally, we can set the following equation and solve for x;

  • 72/9 = 56/(3x - 20)
  • 8 = 56/(3x - 20)
  • 3x - 20 = 56/8
  • 3x - 20 = 7
  • 3x = 27
  • x = 9

Answer:

x = 9 cm

create proportional equation:

\sf \dfrac{9}{3x-20}  = \dfrac{72+9}{3x-20+56}

\sf \dfrac{9}{3x-20}  = \dfrac{81}{3x+36}

\sf 9(3x+36) = 81(3x-20)

\sf 27x+324 = 243x-1620

\sf 27x-243x=-1620-324

\sf  -216x=-1944

\sf x = 9

Find the amount of time.<br><br> I=$450, P=$2400, r=7.5%
Aliun [14]

~You need to set this problem up in the I=PRT form. This should be your formula then, 450=2400(.075)(t). Then do 2400 times .075 and then times that by t which equals 180t. To get rid of that t then take 450 divided by 180 and you get 2.5. Remember when working with rates put them in decimal form also but your time in years.

I hope this helps you:)
