I think of this like a fraction where as the number of red marbles is X.

the numerator is blue marbles and the denominator is red marbles

3/2 = 12/x

How many times does 3 go into 12?
Answer 4 times.

4 x 2 = X

Final Answer 8

There are 8 red marbles.

Please mark brainliest.

You need to make a proportion.  Then cross multiply and divide to find your answer.

blue  3     12
red    2      x

(2)(12) = 3x
24  = 3x
x = 8

There are 8 red marbles

Tank 1 initially contains 50 gals of water with 10 oz of salt in it, while tank 2 initially contains 20 gals of water with 15 oz
Naddik [55]
\dfrac{\mathrm dx_1}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{2\text{ oz}}{1\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}-\dfrac{x_1(t)\text{ oz}}{50\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}
\dfrac{\mathrm dx_2}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{x_1(t)\text{ oz}}{50\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}-\dfrac{x_2(t)\text{ oz}}{20\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}

\implies\begin{cases}\dfrac{\mathrm dx_1}{\mathrm dt}=10-\dfrac1{10}x_1\\\\\dfrac{\mathrm dx_2}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac1{10}x_1-\dfrac14x_2\\\\x_1(0)=10\\\\x_2(0)=15\end{cases}

36x^2-21x-30 factor
miv72 [106K]
Easy...

to even begin to factor..you must factor out a 3, to simplify your answer.

3(12x^{2}-7x-10)

Now, you can factor.

3(12 x^{2} -7x-10)

So..to find the answer...

12*-10=-120x
and 
you would use -7x

What multiplies to -120..but adds to -7?

-15*8=-120
and
-15+8=-7

To find the answer, plug in what you know..

3(3x+2)(4x-5)

Thus, your answer.
