4/5 is the the fraction of a pound is eighty pence
X^2+2x^2-5x
((x^2)+2x^2)-5x
Pull the factors out
3x^2-5x=x(3x-5)
x(3x-5)
x(3x-5)*5x^2
5x(3x-5)*x^2
Final
5x^3*(3x-5)
1. the answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer.
2. once again, create an equation. let's call team 1 x and team 2 y. team one has 1/4th as many as team 2, so that would be x=1/4y. An easier way to write that is 4x=y. after 6 people quit team two, that would be y-6. after the transfer, that would be y-6-12, and x+12 for the teams. they are equal after these, so y-6-12=x+12. solve this equation to get y-18= x+12. if you recall earlier, y was 4 times x, so substitute that into y to get 4x-18=x+12. Solve the equation to get 10 people on team one originally. your final answer is 10 people.
36 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Small</u><u> </u><u>window</u>
Length: 2cm
Width: 2cm
<u>Area</u><u>:</u> 4 cm^2
<u>Big window</u>
Length: 4cm
Width: 3cm
<u>Area</u><u>:</u> 12 cm^2
Total area of the windows:
(Area of 4 small windows + area of 1 big window)
(4 cm^2 x 4 + 12cm^2)
= <u>28 cm^2</u>
<u>Above</u><u> </u><u>window</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>approx</u><u>.</u><u>)</u>
<u>Rectangle</u>
Length: 3cm
Width: 2cm
<u>Area</u><u>:</u> 6 cm^2
<u>T</u><u>riangle</u>
Base: 1cm
Height: 1cm
<u>Area</u><u>:</u> 2 x 0.5 cm^2 = 1 cm^2
<u>Square</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>between</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>triangles</u><u>)</u>
Length: 1cm
Width: 1cm
<u>Area</u><u>:</u> 1 cm^2
= 8 cm^2
<u>TOTAL</u><u> </u><u>AREA</u><u> </u><u>OF</u><u> </u><u>ALL</u><u> </u><u>WINDOWS</u>
= AREA OF 4 WINDOWS + AREA OF BIG WINDOW + AREA OF ABOVE WINDOW
= 16 cm^2 + 12 cm^2 + 8 cm^2
<h3>
= <u>
36 cm^2</u></h3>

13 lbs shared between 3 batches . . .
13/3 = 4 1/3 lbs each
The two whole numbers would be 4 and 5
