The answer would be s = 108/-5 and in decimal form -21.6.

s/4 - 4 - 2/3s = 5

s/4 - 4 - 2s/3 = 5

5s/-12 - 4 = 5

5s/-12 = 5 + 4

5s/-12 = 9

-5s = 9 * 12

-5s = 108

s = 108/-5.

First combine like terms
5+4= 9
1/4s-2/3s= -5/12s

-5/12s= 9
S= -21.6

It x, y, and z are positive intergers and 3x = 4y = 7z, then the least possible value of x + y + z is???

Dmitry [639]

$3x = 4y = 7z \\ \Rightarrow \begin{cases}3x - 4y = 0 \\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3x = 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x = \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3( \frac{4}{3}y) = 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x = \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 4y= 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x = \frac{4}{3} y\\ y \\ z = \frac{4}{7}y \end{cases} \\ x,y,z\: are\: intergers\Rightarrow y=LCM(3,7)=21\Rightarrow x = 28,z = 12 \\ \Rightarrow x + y + z = 61$

A lawn is in the shape of a trapezoid with a height of 7070 feet and bases of 4040 feet and 160160 feet. how many full bags of f

Leni [432]

Area of the trapezium = 1/2 (40 + 160) x 70
Area of the trapezium = 7000 ft²

One bag of fertilizer = 4000 ft²

Number of bags of fertilizer needed = 7000 ÷ 4000 = 1.75 bags.

Since only full bags of fertilizer can be bought, 2 bags of fertilizer are needed.

Answer: 2 bags of fertilizer
