First denominator -- x
<span>first numerator ---- x-2 </span>
<span>new denominator -- x+3 </span>
<span>new numerator ---- x+1 </span>
<span>(x-2)/x + 3/20 = (x+1)/(x+3) </span>
<span>times 20x(x+3) , the LCD </span>
<span>20(x+3)(x+1) + 3x(x+3) = 20x(x+1) </span>
<span>expanding and simplifying gave me </span>
<span>x^2 + 3x - 40 = 0 </span>
<span>(x-5)(x+8) = 0 </span>
<span>x = 5 or x=-8 </span>
<span>if x=5, the original fraction was 3/5 </span>
<span>if x=-8 the original fraction was -10/-8 or 5/4 </span>
<span>check for 3/5 , new fraction would be 6/8 or 3/4 </span>
<span>3/5 + 3/20 = 12/20 + 3/20 = 15/20 = 3/4 </span>
<span>but for 5/4, new fraction would be 8/7 </span>
<span>5/4 + 3/20 = 28/20 = 7/5 ≠ 8/7 </span>
<span>BUT, if we take the unsimplified fraction -10/-8 , new fraction would be -7/-5 = 7/5 </span>
<span>So the original fraction would be 3/5 for sure, but </span>
<span>also the unsimplified fraction -10/-8</span>
First equation:
y=10x+150
y=25x
10x+150=25x
15x=150
x=10
so, 10 weeks
EDIT:
how many dollars dey save? dunno
jkkkkk
For John
150+10(10)=
150+100=
250
For Erin
They both equal
Answer:
corresponding
Step-by-step explanation:
If you talk of a scatter plot, regularly the x-axis is used to plot the explanatory variable, this is the possible cause; while the y-axis is used to plot the varibale that is being explained, the result, the efffect.
If you are dealing with a function or model, you the convention is to use the x-axis for the independent variable, this is the input, while the y-axis is for the output or dependent varibale (which is determined by the independent variable).
