Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewriting the equation as a proportion, we have
(1/2 * 2x/2x) + (1/2x * 2/2) = (x^2 - 7x + 10)/4x
(2x/4x) + (2/4x) = (x^2 - 7x + 10)/4x
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 4x to clear the denominators:
2x + 2 = x^2 - 7x + 10
We now have a new equation that is equivalent to the original equation:
x^2 - 9x + 8 = 0
We can also write the equation into its factored form:
(x - 8)(x - 1) = 0
Now we have a product of two expressions that is equal to zero, which means any x value that makes either (x - 8) or (x - 1) zero will make their product zero.
x - 8 = 0 => x = 8
x - 1 = 0 => x = 1
Therefore, our solutions are x = 8 and x = 1.
1. 3!/5! = 3*2 / 5*4*3*2 = 6/120 = 1/20
2. 5! / 8! = 5*4*3*2 / 8*7*6*5*4*3*2 = 120 / 40320 = 1/336
3. 9!/9! = 1
4. 7! / 8! = 7*6*5*4*3*2 / 8*7*6*5*4*3*2 = 5040 / 40320 = 1/8
5. 5! / 7! = 5*4*3*2 / 7*6*5*4*3*2 = 120 / 5040 = 1/42
12.5*16= 200
So 200 ounces
Each pound is 16 ounces
