2x+4.7=77.8
double the unknown number then add 4.7
Answer:
4.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The number 8 goes into 40 five times, resulting in a final quotient of 2.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
For simplicity’s sake:
D = dogs, C = cats, R = rabbits
Since the dogs and the cats are the same number, we can say C = D.
R = 1/4D
2D + 1/4D = 36
Combine like terms and get the same denominator
9/4D = 36
9D = 144
D = 16
Now we know that D is 16, so C must be 16 as well. That leaves us with 32 cages.
36 - 32 = 4 rabbit cages. To double check this, 1/4 of 16 does equal 4.
Final answer: 16 D, 16 C, 4 R
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
xy = 300
x + y = 50 Solve for y
y = 50 - x substitute into xy = 300
x(50 - x) = 300 Remove the brackets.
50x - x^2 = 300 Bring the left to the right.
0 = x^2 - 50x + 300
This is a quadratic. It will have 2 solutions.
a=1
b = - 50
c = 300
Put these into the quadratic equation.
It turns out that x has two values -- both plus
x1 = 42.03
x2 = 6.97
x1 + y1 = 50
42.03 + y = 50
y = 50 - 42.03
y = 7,97
(42.03 , 7.97)
====================
x2 + y2 = 50
6.97 + y2 = 50
y2 = 50 - 6.97
y2 = 43.03
(6.97 , 43.03)
