Answer:
• Gayle: 14
• Crystal: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let g represent the number of paperclips Gayle has. Then 42/g is the number Crystal has. The relationship between the two numbers is said to be ...
g - (42/g) = 11
Multiplying by g gives ...
g^2 -42 = 11g
g^2 -11g -42 = 0 . . . . subtract 11 g to put into standard form
To factor this, you are looking for two factors of -42 that sum to -11.
-42 = -42·1 = -21·2 = -14·3 = -7·6
You can see that -14 and 3 sum to -11, so the factoring is ...
(g -14)(g +3) = 0
g = 14 . . . . . . . . . . makes the product zero. (The g=-3 solution is extraneous.)
Gayle has 14 paperclips and Crystal has 3.
First, distribute the 2.
2x+6=6+2x
These are the same, so therefore it is infinitely many, because whatever you plug in for x will work.
A = √(15²-9²) = √(225-81) = √144 = 12
Answer:
a=1/2b, 2a=b
Step-by-step explanation:
Since angle a is 1/2 the size of angle b, a=1/2b and b=2a. In order to get a numeral answer, you need the number of one of the angles.
Answer: multiply 4 1/4 by 5 then see if you have enough .
Step-by-step explanation: multiply 4 1/4 by 5 because you have used 1 herb already so if you do that you could have enough in there to pot 5 .
