Answer:

2/3 of a stick of a butter

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given ratio</u>

1/2 of a stick of a butter ⇒ 3/4 of a batch of cookies

<u>Divide both sides by 3/4</u>

1/2 ÷ 3/4 ⇒ 3/4 ÷ 3/4
1/2×4/3 ⇒ 1
2/3 ⇒ 1

2/3 of a stick of a butter is the answer

-4

Because 15x-7x= 8x
8x+5x= 13x
13x= -52
-52 / 13= -4
x = -4

What is the value of c in the equation x^15/x^c =x^6

Galina-37 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ {x}^{15} }{ {x}^{c} } = { x}^{6} \\ {x}^{15 - c} = {x}^{6}$

15 - c = 6

15 - 6 = c

9 = c

c = 9

Find the values of a and b such that

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

a = 1.5

b = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to solve $(x+a)^2$ and replace the result in the initial equation as:

$x^2+3x+4=(x+a)^2+b\\x^2+3x+4=x^2+2ax+a^2+b$

Then, this equality apply only if the coefficient of $x$ is equal in both sides and the constant is equal in both sides.

It means that we have two equations:

$3x=2ax\\4=a^2+b$

So, using the first equation and solving for a, we get:

$3x=2ax\\3=2a\\a=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

Finally, replacing the value of a in the second equation and solving for b, we get:

$4=a^2+b\\4=1.5^2+b\\b=4-1.5^2\\b=4-2.25\\b=1.75$
