1. Cross multiply
35x = 5(11)
35x = 55
Divide both sides by 35
x = 55/35
x = 11/7
2. (x - 2)/x = 3/8
Cross multiply
3x = 8(x - 2)
3x = 8x - 16
Subtract 8x from both sides
-5x = -16
divide both sides by -5
x = -16/-5
x = 16/5 OR 3 1/5
3. (a + 1)/(a - 1) = 5/6
cross multiply
6(a + 1) = 5(a - 1)
distribute
6a + 6 = 5a - 5
subtract 5a from both sides
a + 6 = -5
subtract 6 from both sides
a = -11
4. (1/3)x - 4 = (2/3)x + 6
multiply each term by 3 to clear the fractions
x - 12 = 2x + 18
subtract x from both sides
-12 = x + 18
subtract 18 from both sides
-30 = x
Answer:
(7x + 10y)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this add (3x - 4y) to itself to calculate to lengths of the shorter sides.
(3x - 4y) + (3x - 4y) = 6x - 8y
Subtract this from (20x + 12y)
(20x + 12y) - (6x - 8y) = 14x + 20y Divide this by two to get the length of one side
14x + 20y / 2 = 7x + 10y

2/6, 3/9, 4/12, 5/15, 6/18 ect.
Hope this helped!
Step-by-step explanation:
1 part of 3 sections of a wall takes 1/4 of an hour, (.25 or 25% of an hour), (15 minutes is 1/4 of 60 minutes), so if it takes 15 minutes for one section to be painted & you have 3 sections,
(15+15+15) or (15×3)
= your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Insufficient information!
however, volume will remain same in both of these figures!
