(x+8)(x−10) would be factored
MN = 6 in
add the parts of the ratio, 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
divide AB by 6 to find 1 part of the ratio
= 3 ← 1 part
AM = 3 in ← 1 part
MN = 2 × 3 = 6 in ← 2 parts
NB = 3 × 3 = 9 in ← 3 parts
and 3 + 6 + 9 = 18 in = AB
Answer:
1/2 of 6 = (1/2)*6 = 0.5*6 = 3
Shawnte drinks 3 ounces of water in 2/3 hrs.
3 oz = 2/3 hr
3*(3 oz) = 3*(2/3 hr) .... multiply both sides by 3
9 oz = 2 hrs
She drinks 9 ounces of water in 2 hrs
9/2 oz = 2/2 hrs .... divide both sides by 2
4.5 oz = 1 hr
She drinks 4.5 ounces of water in 1 hour.
Answer:
Her final answer should have been x = 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Her 2 errors were that she didn't distribute the 2x to both 4 and -17 and that she made the 13 positive instead of negative when she added 4 and -17 together.
Correct solution:
8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)
8x-24+7=8x-34x
-17=-34x
The negatives on both sides cancel each other out
x = 1/2
