Answer:

C 12/48

Step-by-step explanation:

Original fraction:

x/y

The ratio of the numerator to the denominator is 1:4, so

x/y = 1/4

Cross multiply:

y = 4x

If three is added to the numerator and subtracted from the denominator, the new fraction reduces to one-third.

(x + 3)/(y - 3) = 1/3

Cross multiply:

3(x + 3) = 1(y - 3)

3x + 9 = y - 3

Above, we have y = 4x, so substitute 4x for y in the equation just above and solve for x.

3x + 9 = 4x - 3

12 = x

x = 12

y = 4(12) = 48

The original fraction is x/y = 12/48

〽Hola User_______________

⭐Here is Your Answer..!!!

______________________

↪Cartesian Coordinates of the system....!!

↪X = rcos⊙ and Y = rsin⊙

↪since here Radius (r) = 10 units and Theta (⊙) = 225°

↪there fore substituting we get as ..

↪X = 10 ( cos 225° ) = 10 * -1/ root 2 = -7.071

↪Y = 10 ( sin 225° ) = 10 * -1/root2 = = -7.071

↪the cordinates are as follows

↪(x,y) = (-7.071, -7.071 )

Factor as the product of two binomials x^2-3x-10

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

(x-5)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

Your expression there has a highest power of $x^{2}$ , so there will be two constants that you need to find.

Your last term is -10, so the constants will have a product of -10. Also your middle term is -3x, so the terms will add up to -3

-5 and 2 fit the mold.

Have a great day!
