The answer is twelfths.
1/3 = 4/12
1/4 = 3/12
And 12 is the LCD (least common denominator) for 1/3 and 1/4.

german

Answer: The ratio of regular sodas sold to diet sodas sold is 9:7

Step-by-step explanation:

The restaurant offers diet soda and regular soda.

In one day they sold a total of 64 sodas. If 28 of the sodas they sold were diet sodas, the rest would be regular sodas. Therefore, the number of regular sodas sold will be 64 - 28 = 36 regular sodas. The ratio of regular sodas sold to diet sodas sold would be the number of regular sodas sold divided by the number of diet sodas sold. It becomes

36/28 = 18/14 = 9/7

Solve for x<br> 6/x^2+2x-15 +7/x+5 =2/x-3

timama [110]

Answer:

x = ((-5)^(1/3) (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(2/3) - 17 (-5)^(2/3))/(15 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = 1/15 (17 5^(2/3) (-1/(2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3) - (-5)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = -1/3 - 17/(3 (10700 - 45 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)) - (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3))

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

6/x^2 + (2 x - 8)/(x + 5) = 2/x - 3

Bring 6/x^2 + (2 x - 8)/(x + 5) together using the common denominator x^2 (x + 5). Bring 2/x - 3 together using the common denominator x:

(2 (x^3 - 4 x^2 + 3 x + 15))/(x^2 (x + 5)) = (2 - 3 x)/x

Cross multiply:

2 x (x^3 - 4 x^2 + 3 x + 15) = x^2 (2 - 3 x) (x + 5)

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

2 x^4 - 8 x^3 + 6 x^2 + 30 x = x^2 (2 - 3 x) (x + 5)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

2 x^4 - 8 x^3 + 6 x^2 + 30 x = -3 x^4 - 13 x^3 + 10 x^2

Subtract -3 x^4 - 13 x^3 + 10 x^2 from both sides:

5 x^4 + 5 x^3 - 4 x^2 + 30 x = 0

Factor x from the left hand side:

x (5 x^3 + 5 x^2 - 4 x + 30) = 0

Split into two equations:

x = 0 or 5 x^3 + 5 x^2 - 4 x + 30 = 0

Eliminate the quadratic term by substituting y = x + 1/3:

x = 0 or 30 - 4 (y - 1/3) + 5 (y - 1/3)^2 + 5 (y - 1/3)^3 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x = 0 or 5 y^3 - (17 y)/3 + 856/27 = 0

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 0 or y^3 - (17 y)/15 + 856/135 = 0

Change coordinates by substituting y = z + λ/z, where λ is a constant value that will be determined later:

x = 0 or 856/135 - 17/15 (z + λ/z) + (z + λ/z)^3 = 0

Multiply both sides by z^3 and collect in terms of z:

x = 0 or z^6 + z^4 (3 λ - 17/15) + (856 z^3)/135 + z^2 (3 λ^2 - (17 λ)/15) + λ^3 = 0

Substitute λ = 17/45 and then u = z^3, yielding a quadratic equation in the variable u:

x = 0 or u^2 + (856 u)/135 + 4913/91125 = 0

Find the positive solution to the quadratic equation:

x = 0 or u = 1/675 (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)

Substitute back for u = z^3:

x = 0 or z^3 = 1/675 (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)

Taking cube roots gives (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3)) times the third roots of unity:

x = 0 or z = (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3)) or z = -((-1)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3))/(3 5^(2/3)) or z = ((-1)^(2/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3))/(3 5^(2/3))

Substitute each value of z into y = z + 17/(45 z):

x = 0 or y = (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3)) - (17 (-1)^(2/3))/(3 (5 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3)) or y = 17/3 ((-1)/(5 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))))^(1/3) - ((-1)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3))/(3 5^(2/3)) or y = ((-1)^(2/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3))/(3 5^(2/3)) - 17/(3 (5 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3))

Bring each solution to a common denominator and simplify:

x = 0 or y = ((-5)^(1/3) (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(2/3) - 17 (-5)^(2/3))/(15 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)) or y = 1/15 (17 5^(2/3) ((-1)/(2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3) - (-5)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)) or y = -(2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3)) - 17/(3 (5 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3))

Substitute back for x = y - 1/3:

x = 0 or x = 1/15 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(-1/3) ((-5)^(1/3) (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(2/3) - 17 (-5)^(2/3)) - 1/3 or x = 1/15 (17 5^(2/3) (-1/(2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3) - (-5)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = -1/3 - 1/3 5^(-2/3) (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3) - 17/3 (5 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(-1/3)

5 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)) = 10700 - 45 sqrt(56235):

x = 0 or x = ((-5)^(1/3) (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(2/3) - 17 (-5)^(2/3))/(15 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = 1/15 (17 5^(2/3) (-1/(2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3) - (-5)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = -1/3 - (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3)) - 17/(3 (10700 - 45 sqrt(56235))^(1/3))

6/x^2 + (2 x - 8)/(x + 5) ⇒ 6/0^2 + (2 0 - 8)/(5 + 0) = ∞^~

2/x - 3 ⇒ 2/0 - 3 = ∞^~:

So this solution is incorrect

6/x^2 + (2 x - 8)/(x + 5) ≈ -3.83766

2/x - 3 ≈ -3.83766:

So this solution is correct

6/x^2 + (2 x - 8)/(x + 5) ≈ -2.44783 + 1.13439 i

2/x - 3 ≈ -2.44783 + 1.13439 i:

So this solution is correct

6/x^2 + (2 x - 8)/(x + 5) ≈ -2.44783 - 1.13439 i

2/x - 3 ≈ -2.44783 - 1.13439 i:

So this solution is correct

The solutions are:

Answer: x = ((-5)^(1/3) (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(2/3) - 17 (-5)^(2/3))/(15 (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = 1/15 (17 5^(2/3) (-1/(2140 - 9 sqrt(56235)))^(1/3) - (-5)^(1/3) (9 sqrt(56235) - 2140)^(1/3)) - 1/3 or x = -1/3 - 17/(3 (10700 - 45 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)) - (2140 - 9 sqrt(56235))^(1/3)/(3 5^(2/3))

Margot is sewing a ribbon on a seam along the perimeter of a square pillow. The side length of the pillow is 2x2 1 inches. She p

Sauron [17]

The expression used for the length of ribbon that she needs for both pillows will be $4(2x^{2} +4x-6)$ .

The total length of the pillow she needs will be 130 inches.

Given,

The side length of pillow is $(2x^2 + 1) \ inches$ .

The side length of another pillow is $4x-7 \ inches$ .

We know that perimeter of square will be,

$P=4\times length$

So the perimeter of pillow will be,

$P=4\times (2x^2+1)\\$

$P=8x^{2} +4$

Similarly, the perimeter of another pillow will be,

$P=4\times (4x-7)$ ]

$P=16x-28$

Hence,the total length of ribbon that she needs for both the pillows will be,

$8x^{2} +4+16x-28\\8x^{2} +16x-24\\4(2x^{2} +4x-6)$

If $x=3.5\\$ then the total length of ribbon will be,

$4(2\times 3.5^{2}+4\times 3.5-6)\\4(2\times 12.25+14-6)\\$

$4(24.5+8)$

$4\times 32.5\\$

$130 \ inches$ .

Thus the required expression will be $4(2x^{2} +4x-6)$ and the total length of ribbon she needs will be 130 inches.

So, the correct option will be (D).
