X = shorter piece
y = longer piece = 5x
shorter piece + longer piece = 60
x + 5x = 60
6x = 60
x = 60/6
x = 10 in. <== shorter piece
y = 5x
y = 5(10)
y = 50 in. <== longer piece
Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
We proceed as follows;
In this question, we want to fill in the blank so that we can have the resulting expression expressed as the product of two different linear expressions.
Now, what to do here is that, when we factor the first two expressions, we need the same kind of expression to be present in the second bracket.
Thus, we have;
2a(b-3) + 5b + _
Now, putting -15 will give us the same expression in the first bracket and this gives us the following;
2a(b-3) + 5b-15
2a(b-3) + 5(b-3)
So we can have ; (2a+5)(b-3)
Hence the constant used is -15
Answer:
$0.276
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Bill= $9.20
Tax= 3%
Tip= 19%
Let us find the amount of the tax and the tip
Tax
=3/100*9.20
=0.03*9.2
=$0.276
Amount after sales tax
= 0.276+9.20
=$9.476
Tip
=19/100*9.476
=0.19*9.476
=$1.80044
Therefore the sales tax
=$0.276
There are infinite equivalent fraction can be obtained just multiple by any number to both numerator and denominator and you will find equivalent fraction !
as 42/16, 63/24 etc
