5 = what percent of 23
5 = x% of 23
5 = (x/100)*23
5 = 23x/100
5*100 = 23x
23x = 5*100
x = 5*100/23
x = 21.739
5 is ≈ 21.739% of 23
Is it 4 times x or 4 to the power of x, if the first one then, 8x-24x. if the second then 8^-6x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to subtract
from
We set up the subtracttion problem to get:
We expand the parenthesis to get:
Group similar terms:
We simplify to get:
Is there a graph or anything given
In the image, as denoted by similar sides OP and MN, we can conclude that the 2 triangles are similar triangles. To look for the value of x (which we can substitute later to find the length of segment LP), we relate the relations of segments LO and LP to segments LM and LN. This relation is shown below:
LO/LP = LM/LN
22 / x+12 = 30 / x+12 + 5
22 / <span>x+12 = 30 / x+17
</span>
Cross-multiplying:
30x + 360 = 22x + 374
Isolating x to one side of the equation by subtracting 22x and 360 from both sides:
30x + 360 - 360 - 22x = 22x + 374 - 360 - 22x
8x = 14
x = 1.75
Since we now have the value of x, we substitute this to the equation of LP:
LP = x + 12
LP = 1.75 + 12
LP = 13.75
Therefore the value of LP is 13.75 in.
