Answer:
You will need 3 6/13 quarts of peanuts to make 3 jars of peanuts butter
Step-by-step explanation:
To make this answering seamless, we make the mixed fractions into improper fractions
Hence 2 1/2 becomes 5/2
while 2 1/6 becomes 13/6
Here we are told that a bag with 5/2 quarts of peanuts can make 13/6 jars of peanuts butter
Hence, x quarts of peanuts will make 3 jars of peanuts butter
To get the value of x, what we simply need to do is to cross multiply.
Thus, we have
5/2 - 13/6
x - 3
3 * 5/2 = 13/6 * x
15/2 = 13x/6
26x = 90
x = 90/26
x = 45/13
x = 3 6/13
We assume the two numbers are x and (x+1)
so x^2+(x+1)^2=421
x^2+(x^2+2x+1)=421
2x^2+2x-420=0
According to the formula of quadratic
x=14 or-15
cuz we know the two numbers are integers
so x=14
therefore the other number is 15
To make sure that's correct
14^2+15^2=421
Hope that helps you!!
Answer:
the 2 one is wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
the 2 would be greater than the 9 sense both the numbers are negative and the bigger the negative number is the less amount it is so -9 is smaller than -2
Use Socratic it will give you the right answers
