15/x:x/25.... cross multiply... and solve....
x² = 15 x 25 x² = 375 im not getting wats x
What are your choices?
@ChiefArnav is it a ratio question or what....?
ratio!
hmmm... if it is a ratio question... then follow my procedure....
? @paki
x=5 sqrt(15),-5 sqrt(15) OR x=19.36492, -19.36492
your steps are right.,... just take the root to get rid of the power...
sqrt(375) = 19.36492
x² = 375 or x= 19.36
Got the same. ^
yup me too.... @Blank
options 5sqrt15 15 5 29
First one. x=5 sqrt(15),-5 sqrt(15) OR x=19.36492, -19.36492
It is the same. :)
i would rather ask my teacher btw thanks for help nad time
You need the steps?
pleasure.,...
@Blank yes i do
Just a second...
(15)/(x)=(x)/(25) Since there is one rational expression on each side of the equation, this can be solved as a ratio. For example, (A)/(B)=(C)/(D) is equivalent to A*D=B*C. 15*25=x*x Since x is on the right-hand side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left-hand side of the equation. x*x=15*25 Multiply x by x to get x^(2). x^(2)=15*25 Multiply 15 by 25 to get 375. x^(2)=375 Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left-hand side. x= +- sqrt(375) Pull all perfect square roots out from under the radical. In this case, remove the 5 because it is a perfect square. x= +-5 sqrt(15) First, substitute in the + portion of the +- to find the first solution. x=5 sqrt(15) Next, substitute in the - portion of the +- to find the second solution. x=-5 sqrt(15) The complete solution is the result of both the + and - portions of the solution. x=5 sqrt(15),-5 sqrt(15) Hope this helps. :)
