Answer:

The height of the building is 3636 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of three is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and one unknown, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. In the case of direct proportionality, when one magnitude increases, the other increases (or when one magnitude decreases the other magnitude will also decrease)

This is an example of direct proportionality where the rule of three can be applied as follows:

44 feet (Long of the shadow of your friend) ⇒ 66 feet (Height of your friend)

2424 feet (Long of the shadow of the building) ⇒ x (Height of the building)

So, to solve this direct proportionality you do the following calculation:

x= $\frac{2424*66}{44}$

x= $\frac{159984}{44}$

<em>x=3636</em>

<em>This means that the height of the building is 3636 feet long</em>

Wastewater is filling barrels at the rate of 11 quarts per hour. The recycling facility picks up 120 full barrels on each trip,

dalvyx [7]

(1 h)/(11 qt) * (12 qt)/(1 barrel) * (120 barrels/pickup) * (1 day)/(24 h)
.. = 12*120/(11*24) day/pickup
.. = 5 5/11 days/pickup

120 barrels will be filled every 5 5/11 days. Some trips will be 5 days apart, some trips will be 6 days apart.

Find the solution of the square root of the quantity of x plus 2 plus 4 equals 8, and determine if it is an extraneous solution

Iteru [2.4K]

Consider the equation:

$\sqrt{x+2}+4 = 8$

Subtracting '4' from both the sides of the equation, we get as

$\sqrt{x+2}+4-4= 8-4$

$\sqrt{x+2}= 4$

Squaring on both the sides of the equation, we get

$(\sqrt{x+2})^2 = (4)^2$

$x+2 = 16$

Subtracting '2' from both the sides of the equation, we get

$x+2-2=16-2$

x=14

Since, An extraneous solution is a solution that arises from the solving process that is not really a solution at all. But, in this equation x=14 is the solution of the given equation.

Hence, it is not an extraneous solution.

Question # 17 Solution

Answer:

$x_{1}= \frac{mx_{2}-y_{2}+y_{1}}{m}$

Step-by-step Explanation:

The given expression

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

And we have to solve for x₁

So,

Lets solve for x₁.

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Multiply both sides by x₂ - x₁

$m(x_{2}-x_{1})= (x_{2}-x_{1})\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$m(x_{2}-x_{1})= (y_{2}-y_{1})$

$mx_{2}-mx_{1}= (y_{2}-y_{1})$

$-mx_{1}= y_{2}-y_{1}-mx_{2}$

Divide both sides by -m

$\frac{-mx_{1}}{-m}= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}-mx_{2}}{-m}$

$x_{1}= \frac{mx_{2}-y_{2}+y_{1}}{m}$

Therefore, $x_{1}= \frac{mx_{2}-y_{2}+y_{1}}{m}$

Question # 23 Solution

Answer:

$n= \frac{bx}{-b + x}$

Step-by-step Explanation:

The given expression

$\frac{nx}{b}-x=x$

And we have to solve for n

So,

Let's solve for n.

$\frac{nx}{b}-x=x$

Multiply both sides by b.

$-bn + nx = bx$

Factor out n.

$n(-b + x)= bx$

Divide both sides by -b + x.

$\frac{n(-b + x)}{-b + x}= \frac{bx}{-b + x}$

$n= \frac{bx}{-b + x}$

Therefore, $n= \frac{bx}{-b + x}$
