John and Alan have a collection of x baseball cards. John has x4 cards. What fraction of the cards does Alan have?

1 answer:

8 0

Number of cards of John: J
Number of cards of Alan: A

John and Alan have a collection of x baseball cards:
J+A=x (1)

John has x/4 cards:
J=x/4

What fraction of the cards does Alan have?

Replacing J by x/4 in the equation (1)
(1) J+A=x
x/4+A=x

Solving for A:
x/4+A-x/4=x-x/4
A=4x/4-x/4
A=(4x-x)/4
A=3x/4

Answer: Alan has 3/4 of the cards

Hello,

we are going to use the theorem of the bissectrice. (if this word is good in english)

$\dfrac{KL}{LM} =\dfrac{KN}{NM} \\\\\dfrac{8}{x} =\dfrac{14}{20-x} \\\\8(20-x)=14x\\\\160-8x=14x\\\\22x=160\\\\x=\frac{160}{22} \\\\x=\frac{80}{11} \\\\\\x=7.\overline{27}$

Help pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

Answer:

x = 1

GF = 12

GH = 15

FH = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

G___F___H

GH = GF + FH

11x +4 = ( 3x +9) + (5x-2)

11x+4= 8x + 7

11x - 8x = 7-4

3x = 3

x =3/3

x = 1

GF = 3x + 9 = 3(1)+9=3+9=12

GH = 11x +4= 11(1)+4=11+4 = 15

FH = 5x - 2 = 5(1) - 2 = 5 - 2 = 3

I hope I helped you^_^
