50% is equal to 5/10 so 5/10 were party cakes 1/5x2=2/10 so 2/10 were fruit cakes 5/10+2/10=7/10 so 10/10 which is 100% of all cakes 10/10-7/10=3/10 so 3/10 of the cakes were sponge cakes.

For which values of the variables the following equality is true?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

For The value of a = 0 and c = 0 , The given expression equality is true  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression as :

\frac{3a^{2}+ac+2c-6a}{3a - c} = a - 2

Or, 3 a² + ac + 2 c - 6 a = ( a - 2 ) × ( 3 a - c )

Or, 3 a² + ac + 2 c - 6 a =  3 a² - ac - 6 a + 2 c

Or, (  3 a² + ac + 2 c - 6 a ) - ( 3 a² - ac - 6 a + 2 c ) =0

Or, ( 3 a² - 3 a² ) + ( ac + ac ) + ( 2 c - 2 c ) + ( - 6 a + 6 a ) = 0

or,  0 + 2 ac + 0

Or, 2 ac = 0

∴  a =0  and c = 0

Hence For The value of a = 0 and c = 0 , The given expression equality is true  .  Answer

Solve 5x 2 - 7x + 2 = 0 by completing the square. What are the solutions?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

x=\frac{2}{5} or x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is

5x^2-7x+2=0

Group the constant terms on the right hand side.

5x^2-7x=0-2

5x^2-7x=-2

Divide through by 5.

x^2-\frac{7}{5}x=-\frac{2}{5}

Add the square of half the coefficient of x., which is (\frac{1}{2}\times- \frac{7}{5})^2=\frac{49}{100} to both sides of the equation.

x^2-\frac{7}{5}x+\frac{49}{100}=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{49}{100}

The left hand side is now a perfect square.

(x-\frac{7}{10})^2=\frac{9}{100}

Take the square root of both sides;

(x-\frac{7}{10})=\pm \sqrt{\frac{9}{100}}

x-\frac{7}{10}=\pm \frac{3}{10}

x=\frac{7}{10}\pm \frac{3}{10}

x=\frac{7-3}{10} or x=\frac{7+3}{10}

x=\frac{4}{10} or x=\frac{10}{10}

x=1 or x=\frac{2}{5}
