First we have to collect the like terms (The terms with the same variables) on the same side so it becomes:
5p-2p=12+9
Then you simplify it by combining the like terms so it becomes:
3p=21
Now you simplify by dividing both sides by 3 and it becomes:
p=7

Hope this helps :)

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Similarities.

Since here, first figure is a Triangle, hence similarity of a triangle is given by ratio of it sides and make them equate,

hence for,

1.) 16/12 = x/9 ===> 4/3 = x/9 ===> x = 9*4/3 ==> x = 36/3

hence the value of x is 12 , ===> x = 12 .

2.) here,in the case of a Reactangle the relation is such that, length = 2* breadth,

hence we apply the relation,

x = 2*4.5 ===> x = 9 units.

A and B are complementary angles if angle a equals (X +24) and angle B equals (X +16) then what is the measurement of b
Hatshy [7]

If A and B are complementary angles, then they add up to 90 degrees.

So A + B = 90 => (x + 24) + (x + 16) = 90 => 2x + 40 = 90 => 2x = 50.

So x = 25, and thus, the measurement of B is (25 + 16) = 41.

The measurement of angle A is (25 + 24) = 49, and indeed they are complementary.

Dario bakes a lasagna containing 2/3 pound of parmesan cheese, 5/4 pounds of ricotta cheese, and 4/3 pounds of mozzarella cheese
kap26 [50]
First, we have to figure out how much cheese we have total. Do this by adding up all of the various cheeses.

\frac{2}{3}  +  \frac{4}{3}  +  \frac{5}{4} \\  \frac{6}{3}  + 1 +  \frac{1}{4}  \\ 3 \frac{1}{4}
Now to split the cheeses into sections of 1/4 pound each, we have to divide by 1/4, which is the same as multipling by 4

3 \frac{1}{4}  \times 4 = 12 + 1 = 13

13 slices total

Traveling with the wind, Jerry takes 10 minutes to bicycle to a local library 2.5 km away. Coming back against the wind, it take
olganol [36]

7.5 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assign the speed of Jerry in still air as <em>x </em> (in km/h)

Let's assign the speed of the wind as <em>y </em>(in km/h)

With the wind as Jerry’s back, he takes 10 minutes to get to the library. We can create the following equation. (<em>we are converting the minutes to hours by dividing by 60</em>);

2.5 / (x + y) = 10/60

10x + 10y = 150

x + y = 15

With the wind against Jerry, he takes 15 minutes from the library. We can create the following equation;

2.5 / (x-y) = 15/60

15x – 15y = 150

x – y = 10

We can now solve the simultaneous equation by subtraction;

x + y = 15

x – y = 10

2y = 5

y = 5/2 = 2.5

y = 2.5 km/h

x = 7.5 km/h
