Answer:
xy (less than or equal to sign) 4
The question is to find out how many times 1/4 is equal to 1 1/2
First lets convert the total:
1 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2
now we need to find out a number that multiplied by 1/4 gives 3/2, that is an equation:
(1/4)x = 3/2
and solving for x:
x = (3/2)*4
x = 12/2
x = 6
therefore they will take 6 days to repave the whole street
Answer:
13, 14, 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = age of one of the siblings
Since the age of the siblings are consecutive integers, the age of the next sibling would be x + 1 and the age of the third sibling would be x + 2
x +( x +1) + (x +2) = 42
3x + 3 = 42
collect like terms and solve for x
x = 13
The age of the first sibling is 13
The age of the second sibling is x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14
The age of the third sibling is x + 2 = 13 + 2 = 15
These 2 equations has no solution and the equations are independent of each other.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
-10x² -10y² = -300 ----a
5x² + 5y² = 150 ---- b
While trying to solve this,
We can multiply the eq. b by 2 so we will get eq. c and then add to eq. a we will get 0 as the solution.
10x² + 10y² = 300 ----c
-10x² -10y² = -300 ---a
Everything cutoff, we will get 0, and there is no solution to these equations.
