Cross multiply:-
3(b - 2) = (2b - 5)(b + 2)
3b - 6 = 2b^2 + 4b - 5b - 10
2b^2 - 4b - 4 = 0
b^2 - 2b - 2 = 0
b = 2.73, -0.73 Answer
Answer:
$38.00
Step-by-step explanation:
You purchase 4 large pizzas.
Each one costs $9.50
Total expenditure on pizza = $9.50 × 4 = $38.00
Answer:
{x,y} = {6/5,23/10}
Step-by-step explanation:
[1] 7x + 2y = 13
[2] 4x + 4y = 14 <---------- linear equations given
Graphic Representation of the Equations : PICTURE
2y + 7x = 13 4y + 4x = 14
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] 4y = -4x + 14
[2] y = -x + 7/2
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] 7x + 2•(-x +7/2) = 13
[1] 5x = 6
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] 5x = 6
[1] x = 6/5
// By now we know this much :
x = 6/5
y = -x+7/2
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = -(6/5)+7/2 = 23/10
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] 7x + 2•(-x +7/2) = 13
[1] 5x = 6
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] 5x = 6
[1] x = 6/5
// By now we know this much :
x = 6/5
y = -x+7/2
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = -(6/5)+7/2 = 23/10
Answer:
33/10 and 55/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Possible denominators that are multiples of 5 less than 17 are 5, 10, 15.
Corresponding numerator ranges are [15, 20], [30, 40], and [45, 60]. In only two of these ranges are there any multiples of 11.
33 in [30, 40]
55 in [45, 60]
So, there are only two possible fractions meeting your requirement:
33/10 and 55/15
