Answer:

Option E ⇒ x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure.

TRAP is an isosceles trapezoid

The shown angles are supplementary angles

So, the sum of (5x+9) and (4x) is 180

So, 5x+9 + 4x = 180

solve for x

9x + 9 = 180

9x = 180-9 = 171

x = 171/9 = 19

The answer is option E

Sally used all of the paint shown to make a certain tint of orange paint. How many pints of red paint should be mixed with 24 pi

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

18 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, three pint of yellow paint was mixed with four pint of red paint. Let x represent the number of yellow paint and let y represent the number of red paint. Therefore, the ratio of the two paints is:

x/y = 3/4

x = (3/4)y

To calculate the number of red paints (x) that is needed to be mixed with 24 pints of yellow paint, we use the equation and substitute y as 24. Hence:

x = (3/4)y

x = (3/4) * 24

x = 18 pints

What is the ratio of x to y?

abruzzese [7]

$\frac{3}{2} = \frac{2x}{2x+y}$

From any proportion, we get another proportion by inverting the extremes (or the means):

$\frac{2x+y}{2} = \frac{2x}{3}$ = k

so we have:

2x=3k
2x+y=2k therefore:
3k+y=2k
y= - k

x= $\frac{3}{2} k$

$\frac{x}{y}$ = - $\frac{3}{2}$

The corect answer is A. -3/2

or:

$\frac{3}{2} = \frac{2x}{2x+y}$

From any proportion, we get another proportion by inverting the extremes and the means:

$\frac{2x+y}{2x} = \frac{2}{3}$

We use a property of proportions:

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$ where a, d are extremes and b,c are means and the product of the extremes equals the product of the means (a*d=b*c),

so we have

$\frac{a-b}{b} = \frac{c-d}{d}$ or

$\frac{a+b}{b} = \frac{c+d}{d}$ (you can check this also by "the product of the extremes equals the product of the means")

$\frac{2x+y}{2x} = \frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{(2x+y)-2x}{2x} = \frac{2-3}{3}$

$\frac{y}{2x} = \frac{-1}{3}$

3y = - 2x

$\frac{x}{y} = -\frac{3}{2}$
