How do I solve for x for similarities in triangles

The equation of the slope is y = -5x + 72.

A line's steepness and direction are measured by the line's slope. Without actually using a compass, determining the slope of lines in a coordinate plane can assist in forecasting whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or none at all.

Any two different points on a line may be used to compute the slope of any line. The ratio of "vertical change" to "horizontal change" between two different locations on a line is calculated using the slope of a line formula.

Given that:

72 inches is the depth of the liquid level in water tank.

Water drains at a rate of 5 inches per minute.

Let y represent the tank's height, which is given as 72.

Let x be the total number of minutes, here x = 0.

Therefore, the slope's equation is the rate at which the water drains, that is:

m = -5

The equation of the line is given by the formula:

y = mx + c

Substitute the values:

72 = -5(0) + c

c = 72

And the equation is:

y = -5x + 72

Hence, the equation of the slope is y = -5x + 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright so let me try and explain this as best as I can:

So the graph isn't linear because the graph shows a parabola (a boomerang kind of shape that happens if you use an exponent somewhere in a y=mx+b formula if I remember correctly) and not a straight line. Linear graphs cannot curve, and this one does. Not sure why it it would be a function though. Assuming the answer chosen is correct, my best guess as to why it might be a function is because it continues to go in the same direction forever, there is a predictable amount of change between each point and you can follow a formula to find every point on the graph.

Answer: The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is given by:

an = a1 * r^(n-1)

Where a1 is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the term number.

Part A) In this sequence, the first term is 4, and the common ratio is 4/1 = 4.

So the explicit formula for this sequence is:

an = 4 * 4^(n-1)

To find the 8th term of this sequence, we can substitute n = 8 into the formula:

a8 = 4 * 4^(8-1)

a8 = 4 * 4^7

a8 = 4 * 16,384

a8 = 65,536

Therefore, the 8th term of this sequence is 65,536.

Answer:

7/9 of the same money is 4900

Step-by-step explanation:

If 6/7 of a number is 5400, we can set up an equation to find the value of the number:

(6/7)x = 5400

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides by 7/6:

x = 5400 * (7/6)

x = 6000

Now that we know the number is 6000, we can find 7/9 of that value:

(7/9) * 6000 = 4900

So 7/9 of the same money is 4900.

What is an proportion?

A proportion is a mathematical equation that compares two ratios. It is usually written as two equal fractions or ratios, one on each side of the equation. A proportion can be used to compare the relationship between different quantities, such as measurements, rates, or even time.

We can use proportion to solve this problem. The proportion relates the map scale to the actual distance:

0.75 inch / 50 miles = x / distance

where x is the actual distance we want to find.

We can cross-multiply and solve for x:

0.75 inch * distance = 2.75 inches * 50 miles

x = (2.75 inches * 50 miles) / 0.75 inch

x = (137.5 miles)

To go from the first town to the second town, you must drive 137.5 miles.

Answer:  13

Step-by-step explanation:

13+7= 20

Answer:

The number is 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

"A number" is a number we don't know to begin with. It should be represented by a variable. Let's use n. We'll probably be trying to find this number.

"increased by" usually means that there is adding going on here.

So far, we have:

n + 7

that is algebra for "A number increased by 7"

"gives 20" is a little strange wording, but it means yields or equals.

So now we have the whole equation:

n + 7 = 20

To solve, subtract 7 from both sides (of the equal sign)

n = 20 - 7

n = 13

The number is 13.

Check:

13 increased by 7 gives 20?

13 + 7 = 20 ?

20 = 20 ✔Yes! Done!

The digit 8 has a value that is 1/10 times as great as the digit 8 in the number 2,980.7 will be 548

The 8 in our number, 2,980.7, is in the tens place and hence represents an 80.

The value of the digit 8 is equal to 1/10 of 10 divided by 1, which is 10 times greater than the value of the digit 888.

We need a number that contains an 8 and has a value that is 1/10 of the previous number, hence we need:

c) both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.

According to the question

The query asks if statements (1) and (2) by themselves are sufficient to determine whether x is an even number. The answer is that neither assertion by itself is adequate to ascertain what x is worth. However, when both claims are taken into account, they are adequate to decide whether or not x is an even number. This is due to the fact that if xyz is even and yz is odd, x must be even. If x were odd, both xy xz and y xz would be strange as well. Due to this, the proper response is "c) neither statement is adequate when read alone, but both assertions taken together are sufficient."

Answer:

1. T, W, E, G

2. C, B, D, A

Step-by-step explanation:

For question 1:

G passes through (2, 3) and (0, -1). So, the slope is [tex]\frac{-1-3}{0-2}[/tex] = 2.

T passes through (0, 3) and (4, 4) so the slope is (4-3)/(4-0) = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex].

E has a slope of [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] because the equation is y = mx+b where m is the slope.

W has a slope of  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]  since slope is increase in y divided by increase in x.

The order of these from least to greatest is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex], [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex], [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex], and 2.

Therefore, the answer is T, W, E, G.

For question 2:

A passes through (0, -1) and (2, 2), so the slope is (2- -1)/(2-0) = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex].

B passes through (2, 0) and (4, 1), so the slope is (1-0)/(4-2) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

C has a slope of [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] since the equation is y=mx+b where m is the slope.

D has a slope of [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] since the slope is increase in y divided by increase in x.

The order of these from least to greatest is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex], [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex], and [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex].

Therefore, the answer is C, B, D, A.

The lower class limit in each class: 0,100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600.

The upper-class limit is the biggest value in each class.

so the upper-class limit is:  99, 199, 299, 399, 499, 599, 699.

As we know the class width is the difference between the lower limit of one class and the lower limit of the previous class.

For example, 300 is the lower limit of one class and the lower limit of the previous class is 200 , so 300 - 200 = 100.

We know that, the class midpoints are the average of the limits of a class.

So, using midpoint formula the class midpoints are:

[tex]\frac{100+199}{2} = 149.5\\\\\frac{200+299}{2} = 249.5\\\\\frac{300+3199}{2} = 349.5\\\\\frac{400+499}{2} = 449.5\\\\\frac{500+599}{2} = 549.5\\\\\frac{600+699}{2} = 649.5\\[/tex]

We know that the class boundaries are nothing but the end points of an open interval which contains the class interval.

So, the class boundaries for the first class = (99.5, 199.5)

the class boundaries for the second class = (199.5, 299.5)

the class boundaries for the third class = (299.5, 399.5)

With compound interest of 3.8% compounded annually it will take 7 years  for the value of the account to reach $6,880.

What is Compound interest?

Compound interest is the interest imposed on a loan or deposit amount. It is the most commonly used concept in our daily existence. The compound interest for an amount depends on both Principal and interest gained over periods. This is the main difference between compound and simple interest.

Formula to find compound interest:

A=P(1+r/n)^nt

Where,

A = amount

P = principal

r = rate of interest

n = number of times interest is compounded per year

t = time (in years)

Alternatively, we can write the formula as given below:

CI = A – P

Where CI=Compound Interest

Now,

As given

A=$6880

P=$5300

r=3.8%

n=1
