The 3rd selection is appropriate.
.. 5b +1 = a = 3b +5
by the transitive property of equality,
.. 5b +1 = 3b +5
It takes 0.15625 minutes to paint 1 square feet
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, I can paint 96 sq ft in 15 minutes
To find: Time taken to paint 1 square feet
From given,
96 square feet is painted in 15 minutes
Let "x" be the time taken to paint 1 square feet
Then, we can say,
96 square feet = 15 minutes
1 square feet = x minutes
This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying

Thus it takes 0.15625 minutes to paint 1 square feet
In can be less mental effort if the equation is multiplied by -1 first.
.. x^2 -10x +8 = 0
.. x^2 -10x +25 +8 -25 = 0
.. (x -5)^2 = 17
.. x -5 = ±√17
.. x = 5 ±√17
The values of x that satisfy the given equation are
.. x = 5 -√17 ≈ 0.877
.. x = 5 +√17 ≈ 9.123
Answer:
up to $338.18
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the compound amount formula:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(n*t), where r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction and n is the number of compounding periods per year.
Here, A = $300(1 + 0.04/12)^(12*3), or
A = $300(1.0033333)^*36, or
A = $300(1.127) = $338.18
Nina will be able to spend up to $338.18 on a new bike.
1/7 + x = 2/3x
1/7 = 2/3x-x
1/7 = 2/3x - 1x
1/7 = -1/3x
-3/7 = x
