Answer:

<em>The fraction of the beads that are red is</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Algebraic Expressions</u>

A bag contains red (r), yellow (y), and blue (b) beads. We are given the following ratios:

r:y = 2:3

y:b = 5:4

We are required to find r:s, where s is the total of beads in the bag, or

s = r + y + b

Thus, we need to calculate:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b} \qquad\qquad [1]$

Knowing that:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{y}=\frac{2}{3} \qquad\qquad [2]$

$\displaystyle \frac{y}{b}=\frac{5}{4}$

Multiplying the equations above:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{y}\frac{y}{b}=\frac{2}{3}\frac{5}{4}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{b}=\frac{5}{6} \qquad\qquad [3]$

Dividing [1] by r:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+y/r+b/r}$

Substituting from [2] and [3]:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+3/2+6/5}$

Operating:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{\frac{10+3*5+6*2}{10}}$

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{10}{10+15+12}$

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{10}{37}$

The fraction of the beads that are red is $\mathbf{\frac{10}{37}}$

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about factoring 14x2 + 6x – 7x – 3 by grouping. The GCF of the group (14x2 –

Yuliya22 [10]

14 x² + 6 x - 7 x - 3 =
= ( 14 x² - 7 x ) + ( 6 x - 3 ) =
= 7 x ( 2 x - 1 ) + 3 ( 2 x - 1 ) =
= ( 2 x - 1 ) ( 7 x + 3 )
Answer:
1. GCF of the group ( 6 x - 3 ) is 3.
2. The common binomial factor is 2 x - 1.
3. The factored expression is: ( 2 x - 1 ) ( 7 x + 3 ).
