3 roads...a, b and c

b = 3a.....a = 1/3b
c = 2b.....b = 1/2c.....

a ------|
b ------|--------|------|
c ------|--------|------|------|------|------|

so a is 1/6 of the total road <===

if road b is 7 miles longer the a...
b = 3a....b = a + 7
a + 7 = 3a
7 = 3a - a
7 = 2a
7/2 = a
3.5 = a

b = 3a
b = 3(3.5)
b = 10.5

c = 2b
c = 2(10.5)
c = 21 <=====road C is 21

3x + 3 – 2+2 = x + 5

Feliz [49]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify and get 3x + 3 = x + 5

Then subtract x from both sides and get 2x + 3 = 5

Then subtract 3 from both sides and get 2x = 2

Divide both sides by 2 and get x = 1

For question 25 please pick 1,2,3 or 4

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

4.

$x=\frac{2}{3} \pm \frac{1}{6}i \sqrt{158}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$18x^2-24x+87=0$

Using Quadratic Formula

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-\left(-24\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-24\right)^2-4\cdot \:18\cdot \:87}}{2\cdot \:18}$

Solving the discriminant:

$\Delta = \left(-24\right)^2-4\cdot \:18\cdot \:87\\\Delta = 576-6264\\ \Delta=-5688$

$x= \frac{24 \pm \sqrt{-5688} }{36}$

$x= \frac{24 \pm \sqrt{5688i} }{36}$

Once $\sqrt{5688} =\sqrt{2^3\cdot \:3^2\cdot \:79}=6\sqrt{158}$

$x=\frac{24\pm6\sqrt{158}i}{36}$

Dividing the denominator and numerator by 6

$x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{158}i}{6}$

Now rewrite it:

$x=\frac{4}{6} \pm i\frac{\sqrt{158}}{6}$

$x=\frac{2}{3} \pm i \frac{\sqrt{158}}{6}$

or

$x=\frac{2}{3} \pm \frac{1}{6}i \sqrt{158}$

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

12p + 4d = n

Explanation:

p stands for pizza, d for drinks. And the unknown amount of money spent here is represented by n.

p + d will be our total, that's why it is addition.
