Thanks for posting your question here. The answer to the above problem is x = <span>48.125. Below is the solution:
</span>
 x+x/7+1/11(x+x/7)=60 
x = x/1 = x • 7/7
x <span>• 7 + x/ 7 = 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>x + x/7 + 1/11 <span>• 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>8x <span>• 11 + 8x/ 77 = 96x/ 77
</span>96x - 4620 = 12 <span>• (8x-385)
</span>8x - 385 = 0
x = 48.125

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

x = 48.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  x+\frac{x}{7}+ \frac{1}{11}(x+\frac{x}{7})=60

We have to solve for x,

Consider the given expression x+\frac{x}{7}+ \frac{1}{11}(x+\frac{x}{7})=60

First solving for brackets, we get,

x+\frac{x}{7}=\frac{7x+x}{7}=\frac{8x}{7}

Put , we get,

x+\frac{x}{7}+ \frac{1}{11}(\frac{8x}{7})=60

Simplify, we have,

x+\frac{x}{7}+(\frac{8x}{77})=60

Taking LCM(7,77) = 77

We have,

\frac{77x+11x+8x}{77}=60

Simplify, we have,

\frac{96x}{77}=60

Multiply both side by 77, we have,

96x = 60 \times 77

96x =4620

Divide both side by 96, we have,

x=\frac{4620}{96}=48.125

Thus, x = 48.125

Option (a) is correct.

A parallelogram has a length of 6 centimeters and a width of 4.5 centimeters. This parallelogram is dilated by a scale factor of
Arada [10]
Scale factor is given by:
(length of larger figure)/(length of smaller figure)=(width of larger figure)/(width of the smaller figure)=3.4
The length of the larger figure will be given by:
length=(scale factor)*(length of smaller figure)
=3.4*6=20.4 cm
width of the larger figure will be given by:
width=(scale factor)*(width of smaller figure)
=3.4*4.5
=15.3 cm
Therefore the dimension of the new parallelogram will be 20.4 cm by 15.3 cm

In a basketball tournament, Team A scored 5 fewer than twice as many points as Team B. Team C scored 80 more points than Team B.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

(2b - 5) + b + (b + 80) = 983

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total score of three teams = 983

Since the teams' scores are given in reference to team B's score, let 'b' be the score of team B.

So,

The scores of Team A = (2 * b) - 5

The scores of Team B = b

The scores of Team C = (b + 80)

Thus,

The equation for determining the total points of Team B would be:

(2b - 5) + b + (b + 80) = 983

On solving,

(2b - 5) + b + (b + 80) = 983

⇒ 2b + b + b = 983 + 5 - 80

⇒ 4b = 908

⇒ b = 908 ÷ 4

⇒ b = 227

Team B's score = 227

Team A's score = (2 * 227 - 5)

= 449

Team C's score = 227 + 80

= 307

Total ⇒ 449 + 227 + 307 = 983

Hence proved.

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 5 y=5y, equals, 5 and that passes through the point ( − 7 , − 5 ) (−7,
Jlenok [28]
The line of the equation perpendicular to y=5 and cuts through (-5,-7) will be given by
m(x-x1)=y-y1
where m=slope.
from y=0x+5, the slope of the perpendicular line m=0,
thus the equation will be:
0(x--5)=y--7
0=y+7
y=-7
The equation is y=-7

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

  83.79 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

The potential energy is the product of weight and height, where weight is in newtons.

  PE = Mgh = (190 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(45 m) = 83,790 J
