I assume you mean the product of mixed numbers,
3 1/2 × 3 1/2
If we write this as
(3 + 1/2) × (3 + 1/2) = (3 + 1/2)²
we can use the identity
(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
so that
3 1/2 × 3 1/2 = 3² + (2 × 3 × 1/2) + (1/2)²
3 1/2 × 3 1/2 = 9 + 3 + 1/4
3 1/2 × 3 1/2 = 12 1/4
Alternatively, we can first write 3 1/2 as a mixed number:
3 + 1/2 = 6/2 + 1/2 = (6 + 1)/2 = 7/2
Then
3 1/2 × 3 1/2 = 7/2 × 7/2 = (7 × 7) / (2 × 2) = 49/4
and
49/4 = (48 + 1)/4 = ((4 × 12) + 1)/4 = 12 + 1/4
Let the number that wll be added be x, then
-7/9 + x = 5
x = 5 + 7/9 = 5 7/9 or 52/9
Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
This is no solution due to the fact that the slope of both of the equation are the same. So they are parallel. If the b value is the same then it is infinitely many solutions. Due to the fact that the b value is not the same they are a set of parallel line. Parallel line do not touch or intersect ever so there for this is a no solution set.
Answer:
960
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with the variable "x". Let's call "x" Raina's penny bank.
After adding 360 pennies, at the end, she has 5/8x, or 5/8.
So we start with
(1/4)x + 360 = 5/8x
Let's subtract 1/4x from both sides
360 = 5/8x - 1/4x
Remember, we need to use common denominators to subtract, so 1/4 becomes 2/8
360 = 5/8x - 2/8x
Now we simplify to get
360=3/8x
Multiply the reciprocal of 3/8 to both sides which is 8/3
360 * 8/3 = x
Answer is 960 pennies.
Therefore Raina's bank hold 960 pennies.
