<u>Answer:</u>

No, Shannon  didn’t mix the correct shade

<u>Explanation: </u>

Ratio required for the shade Red : Blue = 5 : 7

The ratio formed of Shannon must be equal to the above standard ratio

But Shannon’s ratio which was mixed for red and blue is

= Red : Blue  

= 8 : 12

= 2 : 3, which is not equal to 5 : 7.

Therefore it is proved that Shannon mixing does not matches with the required mixing ratio which is 5:7.

Six grape fruit cost $5.34. How much does one grape fruit cost????
Firlakuza [10]
In order to figure this out, we can set up a proportion and simplify using cross multiplication.

\frac{units_1}{cost _{1} } =\frac{units_2}{cost _{2} }  \\  \\  \frac{6}{5.34} = \frac{1}{x}  \\  \\ 6*x=5.34*1 \\  \\ 6x=5.34 \\  \\ x=0.89

Your friend says that the absolute value equation | 3x+8 |-9=-5 has no solution because the constant
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

\displaystyle \large{|3x+8|-9=-5}

Add both sides by 9.

\displaystyle \large{|3x+8|-9 + 9=-5 + 9} \\ \displaystyle \large{|3x+8|=4}

When we want to tell if the absolute equation has solutions or not, we have to simplify in this form first: or isolate the absolute sign.

\displaystyle \large{ |ax + b|  = c}

If c ≥ 0, the equation has solutions.

If c < 0, the equation does not have solutions.

Therefore, it does not always matter if the constant on right side is in negative because if there is a number on the left side then there is a chance that the equation has solutions.

From |3x+8| = 4 is equivalent |3x+8|-9=-5 and the right side is 4 which is positive.

Hence, the equation does have a solution!

Joseph has started completing the square on the equation 3x2 - 7x + 12 = 0. He has worked to the point where he has the expressi
tresset_1 [31]
3x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 ....subtract 12 from both sides
3x^2 - 7x = -12 ....divide both sides by 3 to get x^2 by itself
x^2 - 7/3x = -4

His work is not accurate because he divided the second term by 4 instead of 3.
