Answer:

p = 3.6666(repeating)

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5(p-3)=-4

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

3/5(p-3)=-4

Simplifying:

+ 0.6*(p-3)=-4

Reorder the terms in parentheses

+( + 0.6p-1.8)=-4

Remove unnecessary parentheses

+ 0.6p-1.8=-4

We move all terms containing p to the left and all other terms to the right.

+ 0.6p=-4+1.8

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+ 0.6p=-2.2

We divide both sides of the equation by 0.6 to get p.

p=-3.66666666667

In Cecilia’s CD collection, 1/5 of her Jazz CDs represents 1/10 of all her CDs. What is the ratio of her Jazz CDs to her non-Jaz

KatRina [158]

Answer: The required ratio is 1:1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of CDs be 100

$\frac{1}{10}$ of CDs is given by

$\frac{1}{10}\times 100\\\\=10$

According to question,

$\frac{1}{5}$ of her Jazz CDs represents $\frac{1}{10}$ of all her CDs.

Let the number of Jazz CDs be x

So, it becomes

$\frac{1}{5}\times x=10\\\\x=10\times 5\\\\x=50$

So, Number of Jazz's CDs is 50

Number of Jazz non CDs is given by

$100-50=50$

Ratio of her CDs to her non- CDs is given by

$50:50\\\\1:1$

Hence, the required ratio is 1:1.

2x-2 must be zero or greater, since we cannot have a negative quantity under the radical sign (unless we allow for imaginary roots).

Solving 2x-2≥0, we get x-1≥0, or x≥1. x must be equal to or greater than 1.

16 - 16, so the answer to the 2nd problem is the fourth one: x=4.
