Three students, Matthew, Thompson and Amos shared #15000 in the ratio of 5:2:x respectively. If Matthew's share is 7500, calculate the value of x.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matthew earned 7500 of 15000, which is exactly half the total amount, meaning that the fraction corresponding to his earnings is 1/2.

Rate of 5:2:x, with number 5 corresponding to Matthew, mean that his fraction of the earnings, in function of x is given by:

[tex]\frac{5}{5 + 2 + x} = \frac{5}{7 + x}[/tex]

Both fractions are equal, so:

[tex]\frac{5}{7 + x} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]7 + x = 10[/tex]

[tex]x = 10 - 7[/tex]

[tex]x = 3[/tex]

The value of x is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 21 :-

We know that the measure of a straight line is 180° .

x + 118° = 180° x = 180° - 118° x = 62°

Answer 22:-

2x + 1 + 71 = 180 2x = 180 - 72 2x = 108 x = 54°

Answer:

62° & 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 21 :-

We know that the measure of a straight line is 180° .

x + 118° = 180°

=> x = 180° - 118°

=> x = 62°

Answer 22:-

2x + 1 + 71 = 180

=> 2x = 180 - 72  

=> 2x = 108

=> x = 54°

Which of the following rational functions is graphed below?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]A = \frac{1}{(x-1)(x+1)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the dashed lines in the graphic, these functions have two discontinuities, at x = -1 and at x = 1.

A discontinuity in a rational function is a point in which the denominator of the function is 0.

For these options, the denomiator is 0 at both x = -1 and x = 1 for only option A, so the answer is:

[tex]A = \frac{1}{(x-1)(x+1)}[/tex]

A rectangle is 32 meters long and 4 meters wide. Which equation represents the area (A) of the rectangle?

A= 32 x 4
32= A x 4
32= (4x A) x 4

Answers

I think the answer is A. Because, 32 * 4, you would have to find the answer (A) so 32 * 4 = A.

You were born, your mother deposited 2000 in an account that pays 5% simple interest. How much would the balance be in your account when you enter college 18 years after?

A. 18000
B. 1800
C. 3800
D. 20000

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for simple interest is given as A=P(1+rt), where A is the final balance, P is the initial principal balance (the amount of money that you start out with), r is the annual interest rate, and t is the time

we know that the mom deposited 2000 into an account when the person was born. This is our initial principal balance (the amount of money started out with)

substitute that value into the formula to get:

A=2000(1+rt)

we also know the rate, which is 5% and the time, which is 18

5%=0.05 (we need it as a decimal)

so substituting the values into the equation:

A=2000(1+0.05*18)

A=2000(1+0.9)

A=2000(1.9)

A=3,800

therefore the answer is C

Hope this helps!

put the y= equation into a calculator and then click graph and then after you see the graph , click 2nd and then graph to get the coordinates

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

just pick three values (numbers)  into the function and calculate the other unknown

You can pick an X or you can pick a Y, then solve for Y or X respectively.

Record these x,y pairs in the table

once you have at least two points you can graph the function

           y = mx + b     y-intercept form of the line function

                                  m = slope    b is the value of y when x = 0

   y = -5x/2 -5      let x = 0      solve for y

   y = -5(0)/2 -5

   y =    0 - 5

   y = -5

  y = -5x/2 -5                          solve for x            

  y + 5 = -5x/2 - 5 + 5             add 5 to both sides

  y + 5 = - 5x/2

 (y +5 )(-2/5)  = (-5x/2) (-2/5)

 (y +5 )(-2/5)  = x       let y = 0    

(0) +5)(-2/5)  = x

      5(-2/5)  = x

           -2   =  x

I'll let you have the third variable to pick  and solve for the dependent variable.  The dependent variable is just wha it sounds like, it is dependent on which ever independent (the value you randomly pick) variable.

Pick either x or y then solve for y or x

  y = -5x/2 -5              solve for y

  x = (-2/5) (y +5)        solve for x
