Researching online to find the best stuff for it's value
ex. try to find the best kind of car that you can buy with the least amount of money
researching by yourself is important because you will know alot and if the salesperson says all good things about a product, you might know some downsides and mentally be prepared lest you get a car you don't like

One day, a person went to a horse racing area. Instead of counting the number of humans an horses, he conuted 74 heads and 196 l

DerKrebs [107]

Data:

Humans (x) = 2 Legs
Horses (y) = 4 Legs

74 Heads
196 Legs

Solving:

Addition method

$\left \{ {{x + y =74} \atop {2x + 4y =196}} \right.$

Simplify by (-4) The first equation

$\left \{ {{x + y =74(-4)} \atop {2x + 4y =196}} \right.$
$\left \{ {{-4x - \diagup\!\!\!\!\!4y =-296} \atop {2x + \diagup\!\!\!\!\!4y =196}} \right.$
$\left \{ {{-4x =-296} \atop {2y =196}} \right.$
$-2x = -100.simplify(-1)$
$2x = 100$
$x = \frac{100}{2}$
$\boxed{x = 50}$

Now, to find the number of horses, I will use the following equation and I will replace the found value, we will have:

$x + y = 74$
$50+y = 74$

Number with incognito are to the left of the equality and numbers without incognito are to the right, remembering that when changing of side changes the signal.

$y = 74-50$
$\boxed{y = 24}$

Answer:
Humans = 50
Horses = 24

Divide and simplify.

vredina [299]

Answer:

$\frac{ {x}^{2} + 10x + 16 }{ {x } {}^{2} + 6x + 8} \div \frac{1}{x + 2}$

$\frac{ {x}^{2} + 8 x+ 2x + 16}{ {x}^{2} + 4x + 2x + 8} \times (x + 2)$

$\frac{x(x + 8) + 2 (x + 8)}{x(x + 4) + 2(x + 4)} \times (x + 2)$

$\frac{( x + 8)(x + 2)}{(x + 2)(x + 4)} \times ( x + 2)$

$\frac{( x + 8)(x + 2)}{(x + 4)}$

An escalator in a department store is to carry people a vertical distance of 18 feet between floors. How long is the escalator i

melisa1 [442]

Drawing out the triangle, we get the one below. We can use the trigonometric ratio of tan to solve this problem.
$tan40= \frac{18}{x}$
$x= \frac{18}{tan40}$
x=21.5

What is the scale factor of two similar pyramids with volume of 13824 cubic feel and 216 cubic feet?

velikii [3]

Answer: The scale factor is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the pyramids are similar. The volume of one of these pyramids is 13,824 cubic feet and the volume of the other one is 216 cubic feet. Then:

$V_1=13,824ft^3\\V_2=216ft^3$

By Similar solids theorem, if two similar solids have a scale factor of $\frac{a}{b}$ , then corresponding volumes have a ratio of $\frac{a^3}{b^3}$

Then:

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{a^3}{b^3}$

Knowing this, we can find the scale factor. This is:

$\frac{13,824}{216}=\frac{a^3}{b^3}\\\\\frac{13,824}{216}=(\frac{a}{b})^3\\\\\frac{a}{b}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{13,824}{216}}\\\\scale\ factor=\frac{a}{b}=4$
