The formula to start with is (DC +CE) * CE = (AB + BE) * BE
Replace the letters with the numbers and equations:
(1 + x+4) * x+4 = (11 + x+1) * x+1
(x+5) * (x+4) = (x+12) * (x+1)
x^2 + 9x +20 = x^2 +13x +12
x^2 = x*x = 2x
11x+20 = 15x+12
20 = 4x+12
8 = 4x
x = 8/4
x = 2
The bottom cable is 108 ft long?
Answer:
40 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
y * 25% + x * 10% = 120 * 15%
x = 120 - y
(120-y) * 10% = x * 10%
y * 25% + (120 - y ) * 10% = 120 * 15%
0.25y + 12 - 0.1y = 18
0.15y = 6
y = 6 / 0.15
y = 40
