Answer:
35 Meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio is 12
What I mean by that is 2 turns into 24 because you multiply 12 to it. Same thing for 420, except for the fact that you divide it (working backwards). So 420 divided by 12 equals 35:) Enjoy your day
Answer:
10/39
Step-by-step explanation:
The chances of picking a black sock on first try are 8/13, and the chances of picking out a yellow sock without replacing the black sock are 5/12. If you multiply 8/13 and 5/12, you get 40/156, and if you simplify, you will get 10/39 as your answer.
Y *x =20
y +x =9
rewrite 1st eq. as y = 20/x
subsituute that into 2nd eq.
20/x +x =9
multiply each term by X
20 +x^2 = 9x
subtract 9x from each side:
x^2 - 9x +20 = 0
now factor:
(x-5) (x-4) = 0
solve for x
5-5 = 0
4-4 = 0
so X can be 4 or 5
replace x into equations and solve for Y
so when X = 4, Y = 5
When X = 5, Y = 4
x= 5,4
y = 4,5
Answer:
You need to insert different x values and plot the point. So let's say x=1 the answer would be 10 and for 2 it would be 17
We have two relations between length and width. One is given in the problem statement. The other is given by the formula for perimeter. We can solve the two equations in two unknowns using substitution.
Let w and l represent the width and length of the sign in feet, respectively.
... l = 2w -12 . . . . . the length is 12 ft less than twice the width
... p = 2(l +w) = 114 . . . . the perimeter is 114 ft
Using the first equation for l, we can substitute for l in the second equation.
... 114 = 2((2w -12) +w)
... 114 = 6w -24 . . . . . . . . simpify
... 138 = 6w . . . . . . . . . . . add 24
... 23 = w . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
... l = 2w -12 = 2·23 -12 = 34 . . . . use the equation for l to find l
The length and width of the sign are 34 ft and 23 ft, respectively.
