2x2 + 8x - 12 = 0
4 + 8x - 12 = 0
8x = 12 - 4
8x = 8
x = 1
total units of ration = 4 +7=11
so, ratio would be (4*33)/11 : (7*33)/11
12 : 21 is the answer.
Did you understand?
I really don’t know I’m just answering questions that I know sorry
"He starts both trains at the same time. Train A returns to its starting point every 12 seconds and Train B returns to its starting point every 9 seconds". Basically, what you need to do is find the least common multiple. The least common multiple of 12 and 9 is 36, so the least amount of time, in seconds, that both trains will arrive at the starting points at the same time is 36 seconds.
