First convert the feet to inches:
3 feet= 36 in.; 4 feet=48 in.
Make an equation for each one:
Type A: h=36+15x
Type B: h=48+10x
Since the questions wants the heights to be equal, h=h so you can substitute so you have:
36+15x=48+10x
5x=12
x=2 2/5 years or 2.4 years
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the easier approaches to graphing a linear equation such as this one is to solve it for y, which gives us both the slope of the line and the y-intercept.
x-3y=-6 → -3y = -x - 6, or 3y = x + 6.
Dividing both sides by 3, we get y = (1/3)x + 2.
So the slope of this line is 1/3 and the y-intercept is 2.
Plot a dot at (0, 2). This is the y-intercept. Now move your pencil point from that dot 3 spaces to the right and then 1 space up. Draw a line thru these two dots. End.
Alternatively, you could use the intercept method. We have already found that the y-intercept is (0, 2). To find the x-intercept, let y = 0. Then x = -6, and the x-intercept is (-6, 0).
Plot both (0, 2) and (-6, 0) and draw a line thru these points. Same graph.
Answer:
1. KLP + PLM = 180 degrees (straight line)
2. 3x + angle PLM = 180 degrees
3. angle PLM = 180 - 3x
4. PMN = P + PLM (Exterior angle)
5. 2x + 72 = x + 180 - 3x
6. x = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Notice that angle KLP + angle PLM is a straight line, so KLP + PLM = 180 degrees (straight line)
2. angle KLP = 3x, so
3x + angle PLM = 180 degrees
3. angle PLM = 180 - 3x
4. PMN = P + PLM (Exterior angle)
5. 2x + 72 = x + 180 - 3x
6. 5 gives 4x = 108, so x = 27
7:14 or simplified 1:2 (use simplified)
Find total amount of fruit by adding
4+7+3=14
7 pears to 14 total fruits in ratio form is 7:14 which simplifies to 1:2
