Answer:

43.2in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two people are equally proportional, then knowing the size of the waist of one of them, we gonna we be able to know the other's wais size, by the relation.

36in*(1*20%) = 36in*1.2 = 43.2in

<u>Answer:</u>

The taller person's waist size is 43.2 inches

<u>Solution:</u>

As given in the question, if 2 people are equal in proportion, then the taller person has 20% taller or larger waist than the smaller person in any given dimension. This means that, the taller person’s waist would be 120 % of the smaller person.

Hence, we multiply 1.2 (120%) with 36 inches (waist size of shorter person) which gives the waist size of the taller person as 43.2 inches.

36\times (1.2) = 43.2 inches.

Why might working on a commission basis make dealing with finances more difficult
Kobotan [32]
<span>Dealing with finances becomes more difficult when working on a commission basis because unlike working on a salary basis, there is no regular pay. A commission means that earnings are based on rate of sale or number of completed tasks. Income may be reduced if you do not sell enough, or fail to complete enough tasks.</span>

An observation of the Moon was conducted from Friday, November 8, 2013 to Thursday, November 14, 2013. The study of the Moon during this period occurred consistently between the hours of 8 and 9 p.m. EST within the Northern Hemisphere at 37.3346° N, 79.5228° W (Bedford, V.A.). The Moon was noted to be illuminated on the right side and had a dark shadow on the left side indicating a waxing phase. The light region grew over the surface of the Moon with each subsequent night. The first night’s phase was waxing crescent with over 25 percent of the Moon lit up. The next night, the light had grown to cover more of the Moon as it continued through its waxing crescent phase.

An observation of the Moon was conducted from Friday, November 8, 2013 to Thursday, November 14, 2013. The study of the Moon during this period occurred consistently between the hours of 8 and 9 p.m. EST within the Northern Hemisphere at 37.3346° N, 79.5228° W (Bedford, V.A.). The Moon was noted to be illuminated on the right side and had a dark shadow on the left side indicating a waxing phase. The light region grew over the surface of the Moon with each subsequent night. The first night’s phase was waxing crescent with over 25 percent of the Moon lit up. The next night, the light had grown to cover more of the Moon as it continued through its waxing crescent phase. On November 10th, the Moon exhibited traits of being at first-quarter or half-moon status because at least 50 percent of its surface was illuminated. In the following nights, the Moon displayed characteristics of waxing gibbous as the light continued to grow across the moon’s surface from right to left. The Moon was nearing closer to the full moon phase on November 14th as only a very small dark shadow was visible on the left side. 
The Moon takes 27.3 days (sidereal month) to complete its actual orbit around the Earth. Like the Sun, the Moon rises in the east and sets in the west each day.

What is true about the solution of StartFraction x squared Over 2 x minus 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 9 Over 6 x minus 18 EndF
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

x=\pm\sqrt{3}  and they are actual solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\frac{x^2}{2x-6}=\frac{9}{6x-18}

Factor the denominators both sides

\frac{x^2}{2(x-3)}=\frac{9}{6(x-3)}

Simplify

\frac{x^2}{2}=\frac{9}{6}

x^2=\frac{18}{6}

x=\pm\sqrt{3}

<u><em>Verify</em></u>

1) For x=\sqrt{3}

\frac{\sqrt{3}^2}{2(\sqrt{3}-3)}=\frac{9}{6(\sqrt{3}-3)}

\frac{3}{2(\sqrt{3}-3)}=\frac{9}{6(\sqrt{3}-3)}

18=18 ---> is true

therefore

x=\sqrt{3} ----> is an actual solution

2) For x=-\sqrt{3}

\frac{-\sqrt{3}^2}{2(-\sqrt{3}-3)}=\frac{9}{6(-\sqrt{3}-3)}

\frac{3}{2(-\sqrt{3}-3)}=\frac{9}{6(-\sqrt{3}-3)}

18=18 ---> is true

therefore

x=-\sqrt{3}  ----> is an actual solution

therefore

Donna's company reimburses her expenses on food, lodging, and conveyance during business trips. The company pays $50 a day for f
Maksim231197 [3]

A.

Multiply the number of days, x by 50 per day to get 50x.

Next multiply the number of miles driven to the amount she gets per mile: 0.60 x 200 = $120

Now add both together to equal the total of 1620.

The equation becomes: 50x +120 = 1620

B.

50x +120 = 1620

Step 1: subtract 120 from both sides ( subtraction property of equality):

50x = 1500

Step 2: Divide both sides by 50 ( division property of equality):

x = 1500 / 50

x = 30

C.

The trip lasted 30 days.
