A + b = 70
a = 2/5b

2/5b + b = 70
2/5b + 5/5b = 70
7/5b = 70
b = 70 * 5/7
b = 350/7
b = 50

a = 2/5b
a = 2/5(50)
a = 100/5
a = 20

the numbers are 50 and 20....the smallest being 20 and the largest being 50

X + 2/5x = 70
1x + 2/5x = 70
1 2/5 x = 70
7/5 x = 70  multiply both sides by 5
7x = 350  divide both sides by 7
x = 50    so 2/5 x = 20    the two numbers are 50 and 20
the larger of the two is 50

Yao Xin puts 3/10 liters of potting soil in each pot for planting flowers. She has 17/3 liters of potting soil. How many pots ca
kari74 [83]

For this case defining variables we have:

x: total amount of liters of potting soil.

y: number of liters of potting soil in each pot.

We have then to find the number of pots we use the following expression:

N = \frac{x}{y}

Substituting values we have:

N = \frac{\frac{17}{3}}{\frac{3}{10}}

Rewriting we have:

N = \frac{170}{9}

N = 18.8

Rounding to the previous whole we have:

N = 18

Answer:

Yao Xin can fill 18 pots

Determine whether the formula describes y as a function of x. y = -3x2 - 7x - 6 Explain your reasoning
AleksAgata [21]
Yes because when you have y = -3x²-7x -6 it is just the same as f(x) = -3x² -7x - 6
