Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

4/(x + 1) = 3/(x + 2)

Step 2: Solve for x

Cross multiply:                         4(x + 2) = 3(x + 1)Distribute:                                 4x + 8 = 3x + 3Subtract 3x on both sides:      x + 8 = 3Subtract 8 on both sides:        x = -5
Answer 2

Answer:

to solve a proportion, you cross multiply. so you take the numerator of the first one, and multiply it by the denominator of the second one. and then the denominator of the first one is multiplied by the numerator of the second one:

4(x+2)=3(x+1) (set them = and then use the distributive property)

4x+8 = 3x+3 (subtract 3x from both sides)

x +8 = 3 (subtract 8 from both sides)

x= -5  (the answer)

Answer:

The amount of fruit syrup Rex added is: 3 liters

and the amount of water he added is: 4 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

3y = 2x + 6

x + y = 7

y = 7 - x

3(7 - x) = 2x + 6

21 - 3x = 2x + 6

21 - 6 = 2x + 3x

15 = 5x

15/5 = x

3 = x

x + y = 7

3 + y = 7

y = 7 - 3

y = 4

The linear combination method gives a solution of (–4, 2) for which of these systems of linear equations? 3 x + 13 y = 14. And 6 x + 11 y = -2. 4 x + 5 y = 12. And 8 x + 3 y = -4. 5 x + 4 y = 12. And 7 x + 8 y = 12. 10 x + 3 y = 8. And 17 x + 6 y = 10.

Answers

Answer:

A. [tex]3x + 13y = 14[/tex] and [tex]6x + 11y = -2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine which system of equation satisfy (-4,2)

To do this, we simply substitute -4 for x and 2 for y in the given functions.

A.

[tex]3x + 13y = 14[/tex] and [tex]6x + 11y = -2[/tex]

[tex]3x + 13y = 14[/tex]

[tex]3(-4) + 13(2) = 14[/tex]

[tex]-12 + 26 = 14[/tex]

[tex]14 = 14[/tex]

[tex]6x + 11y = -2[/tex]

[tex]6(-4) + 11(2) = -2[/tex]

[tex]-24 + 22 = -2[/tex]

[tex]-2 = -2[/tex]

The above shows that the given linear combination has a solution of (-4,2).

Hence, this option answers the question and there is no need to check other options

Answers

Answer:

Answer:

x = -25/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x divided by -5/2 is equal to x multiplied by -2/5

therefore, proportion is [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-2x}{5}[/tex]

cross-multiply: -6x = 50

x = -50/6 or -25/3

Considerando las siguientes variables a = ancho y l = longitud, determina su valor, si se sabe que se cuenta con un rectángulo que tiene como perímetro 35 metros, y se sabe que el doble de su ancho es igual a 3 veces su longitud.

Answers

Answer:

La longitud = 7 metros

La anchor = 10.5 metros

Step-by-step explanation:

La fórmula para el perímetro de un rectángulo es

P = 2L + 2W

L = longitud

A = ancho

P = 35 metros

se sabe que el doble de su ancho es igual a 3 veces su largo.

2A = 3L

Ancho = 3L / 2 = 1.5L

Sustituimos 1.5L por W

35 = 2 L + 2 (1.5 L)

35 = 2L + 3L

35 = 5 litros

L = 35/5

L = 7 metros

Por lo tanto, la longitud = 7 metros

Recuerda

A = 1.5 L

A = 1.5 × 7

A = 10.5 metros

La anchor = 10.5 metros

In a popular online role playing game, players can create detailed designs for their character's "costumes," or appearance. Scarlett sets up a website where players can buy and sell these costumes online. Information about the number of people who visited the website and the number of costumes purchased in a single day is listed below. 236 visitors purchased no costume. 202 visitors purchased exactly one costume. 40 visitors purchased more than one costume. Based on these results, express the probability that the next person will purchase no more than one costume as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the next person will purchase no more than one costume [tex]\frac{219}{239}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The data for a single day is s follows:

236 visitors purchased no costume. 202 visitors purchased exactly one costume. 40 visitors purchased more than one costume.

The total number of customers is, N = 236 + 202 + 40 = 478.

Let X denote the number of costumes purchased by the next person.

Compute the probability that the next person will purchase no more than one costume as follows:

[tex]P (X\leq 1)=1-P(X>1)[/tex]

               [tex]=1-\frac{40}{478}\\\\=\frac{478-40}{478}\\\\=\frac{438}{478}\\\\=\frac{219}{239}[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the next person will purchase no more than one costume [tex]\frac{219}{239}[/tex].

Inequality: 4000= 305 + x50
Answer: 74 boxes

Explanation: To get 305 you add the weight of the cart and the weight of the worker

Then create the inequality
Subtract 305 from 4000 and you get 3695

Then since the 50 is trying to multiply against x then you do the inverse operation and divide 3695 by 50

Which equals out to 73.9 and since the point nine is higher then 5 then you round the 73 up by one which gives you 74

In a shopping district with a variety of stores, 9 of the stores sell jewelry. The jewelry stores make up only 3% of the shopping district. How many stores are in the shopping district?

Answers

Answer:

When I did this in middle school, the teacher made it unnecessarily difficult     (-_-), so here`s my own method for you.

Finding 1%:

If 9 is 3%, then 3 is 1%. This method only works when the sides are divisible.

You can use the 1% to find the total, which is 100%.

3 stores (or 1%) x 100 = 300.

There are 300 stores in the shopping district.

Answer: A, B, and D are correct!

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps! :)

The three proportions that are set up correctly for the reduction of a triangle are:

original height / original base = reduction height / reduction base

original height / reduction height = original base / reduction base

original height / reduction base = reduction height / original base

Options 1, 2, and 3 are correct.

What is a triangle?

A triangle is a 2-D figure with three sides and three angles.

The sum of the angles is 180 degrees.

We can have an obtuse triangle, an acute triangle, or a right triangle.

We have,

The three proportions that are set up correctly for the reduction of a triangle are:

1)

original height / original base = reduction height / reduction base

This proportion represents that the ratio of the original height to the original base is equal to the ratio of the reduction height to the reduction base.

2)

original height / reduction height = original base / reduction base

This proportion represents that the ratio of the original height to the reduction height is equal to the ratio of the original base to the reduction base.

3)

original height / reduction base = reduction height / original base

This proportion represents that the ratio of the original height to the reduction base is equal to the ratio of the reduction height to the original base.

Thus,

original height / original base = reduction height / reduction base

original height / reduction height = original base / reduction base

original height / reduction base = reduction height / original base
