Let's give the variable that you are trying to answer for a symbol. Let's call it X.

X = the amount of money both Greg and Thomas had in October

We know that in November, Greg added $120 to his account. So, Greg's account has: X + 120

We know that Thomas increased the money in his account by 20%, so Thomas' account has: X + 0.2X, or 1.2X

We know that these two amounts are equal:
X + 120 = 1.2X

Solve for X:
X + 120 - X = 1.2X - X
120 = .2X
120 / .2 = .2X / .2
600 = X

xxMikexx [17]

formula = height = 12+10t

where t = number of weeks

so for t10

 height = 12+10(10) = 12+100 = 112 cm

for t12

height = 12+10(12) = 12 +120 = 132 cm

Evaluate the expression P(9,3), equivalently 9P3<br> Your answer is:<br> Preview
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

504

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the definition

nP_{r} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

where n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2).... × 3 × 2 × 1

Thus

9P_{3} = \frac{9!}{6!} ← cancel the terms of 6! on numerator/denominator, leaving

      = 9 × 8 × 7 = 504

\bf \textit{difference of squares}&#10;\\\\&#10;(a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2\qquad \qquad &#10;a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\implies cos^2(\theta)=1-sin^2(\theta)\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\cfrac{cot^2(x)}{csc(x)-1}=\cfrac{1+sin(x)}{sin(x)}\impliedby \textit{let's do the left-hand-side}

\bf \cfrac{\quad \frac{cos^2(x)}{sin^2(x)}\quad }{\frac{1}{sin(x)}-1}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{cos^2(x)}{sin^2(x)}\quad }{\frac{1-sin(x)}{sin(x)}}\implies \cfrac{cos^2(x)}{sin^2(x)}\cdot \cfrac{sin(x)}{1-sin(x)}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{cos^2(x)}{sin(x)}\cdot \cfrac{1}{1-sin(x)}\implies \cfrac{cos^2(x)}{sin(x)[1-sin(x)]}

The ratio of roosters to chickens is 2 to 8. If there are 5 roosters, how many chickens are there?
Aloiza [94]
Roosters to chickens is 2 to 8

That means where there are 2 roosters, there are 8 chickens.

Simplify the ratio 2:8
The ratio can be simplified to 1:4

So, for 1 rooster, there are 4 chickens.

Now, the question says that if there are 5 roosters, how many chickens will there be?

1 rooster to 4 chickens
5 roosters to ? chickens

We went from 1 rooster to 5 rooster. We multiplied by 5.
To find out how many chickens there are for 5 roosters, multiply 4 chickens by 5.

4 * 5 = 20

Where there are 5 roosters, there will be 20 chickens.

Another way to solve is as follows:

\frac{2}{8} =\frac{5}{x}\\\\\sf{Cross~multiply}\\\\2x = 5\times 8\\\\2x = 40\\\\x = 20\\\\\boxed{\bf{x=20}}

Your final answer is 20 chickens.<span />
