Finding the Number
To find the number, we have to translate the problem above to an algebraic equation. The algebraic equation refers to the statement of the equality of two algebraic expressions.
Equation:
Let "x" be the number.
4 is divided by a number - 4/x
3 divided by the number decreased by 2 - 3/x-2
"4 is divided by a number is equal to 3 divided by the number decreased by 2"
4/x = 3/x-2
Solution:
Cross multiply.
4/x = 3/x-2
x(3) = 4(x-2)
3x = 4x - 8
(Combine similar terms.)
3x - 4x = - 8
- x = - 8
- x/- 1 = - 8/- 1
x = 8
Final Answer:
8
Checking:
4/x = 3/x-2
4/8 = 3/8-2
1/2 = 3/6
1/2 = 1/2 ✔
x=2
sorry for the bad handwriting btw.
Answer:
4900 Litres
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need a common demoninator:
3/7=15/35
Then we subtract the two to figure out how much 420 Litres is:
15/35-12/35=3/35
3/35=420 litres
Divide amount by the numerater for thow much 1/x is.
1/35=140
and multiply by the denomenator to get a full number on your fraction, and therefore a full tank.
140 x 35 = 4900
Answer:
AC = 2.44
Step-by-step explanation:
Reference angle = 26°
Opposite side = AC = ?
Adjacent side = BC = 5
Applying TOA, we have:
Tan 26 = opp/adj
Tan 26 = AC/5
multiply both sides by 5
Tan 26 × 5 = AC
AC = 2.44 (nearest hundredth)
Answer:
