Remark

The total number of items bought is represented by 2 + 3 = 5. So for pencils to pencils + pens his ratio of pencils to total is  3/5

Equation

3/5 = 21 / x   Cross multiply

3x = 5 * 21

3x = 105

x = 105/3

x = 35

Conclusion

The total number of pens and pencils that he bought was 35 <<< Answer.

Note

He bought 35 - 21 = 14 pens. That should be 2/5 of the total.

Check

2/5 * 35 = 70/5 = 14 So it checks.

First, you need to know what a complementary angles are.
They are two angles that add up to 90 degrees.
If the number multiplied by 2 is 90, just to 90/2.
This gives you 45

Factor 9s^2 - 36s + 35
Verdich [7]

Split the second term in 9s^2 - 36s + 35 into two terms

9s^2 - 15s - 21s + 35

Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms

3s(3s - 5) - 7(3s - 5)

Factor out the common term 3s - 5

<u>(3s - 5)(3s - 7) </u>

I need help can someone explain this simply
statuscvo [17]
In order to do this, you have to use the Pythagorean Theorem which is a^2 +b^2=c^2 It does not matter in what order a and b are, but c is always the hypotenuse or the side across from the right angle. First, you substitute 24 in for a and 45 in for b so your equation so far would look like 24^2 + 45^2 = c^2 Then, you square 24 and 45 and get 576+2025=c^2 Then you add the two to get 2601=c^2 Finally, you would square root both sides and get 51=c So the width of the recycling bin is 51 inches long
