Divide 300 in a ratio of 3/7

Mathematics

in short, we simply divide the whole 300 by (3+7), to get in a 3:7 ratio, and then distribute accordingly.

$\bf 300\qquad 3:7\qquad \cfrac{3}{7}~\hspace{5em}\cfrac{3\cdot \frac{300}{3+7}}{7\cdot \frac{300}{3+7}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 30}{7\cdot 30}\implies \cfrac{90}{210}\implies 90:210$

2x+3y=1 and y=-2 - 9 solve using linear combination method. Please explain steps.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

$x=17$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x+3y=1$

$y=-2-9$

In order to combine these two equations, an idea you need to keep in mind is finding a way of setting these equations as equal to each other. I saw that each equation shared a common value, $y$ . In this case, we need to isolate $y$ in the first equation so that both equations $=y$ .

$2x+3y=1$

$3y=-2x+1$

$\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{-2x+1}{3}$

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$

With this, we now know that both $-2-9$ and $-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$ are equal to $y$ , so we can set them equal to each other.

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$

$y=-11$

$-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=-11$

Reply to this if anything I'm saying or doing is confusing in any way, or if you find a mistake. :) Solve for $x$ .

$-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=-11$

$-\frac{2}{3}x=-11-\frac{1}{3}$

$-\frac{2}{3}x =-\frac{33}{3}-\frac{1}{3}$

$-\frac{2}{3}x =-\frac{34}{3}$

$-\frac{2}{3}x(-\frac{3}{2})=-\frac{34}{3}(-\frac{3}{2})$

$x=\frac{102}{6}=17$

$x=17$

Hopefully this answer is correct AND makes sense in terms of how I achieved it. Again, reply to this with any questions or mistakes I made and I'll do my best to answer or fix them.

What is the length of each side of the triangle given a perimeter of 45 cm?

gladu [14]

TO find perimeter you add all sides. But to find the totaly of each side, you will divide. So a triangle has 3 sides, so you divide 45 by 3 to get the sides length of:
15 cm each

Answer:

the third option

Step-by-step explanation:

what does that mean ?

to "rationalize" it is to transform it into a rational number (that is a number that can be described as a/b, and is not an endless sequence of digits after the decimal point without a repeating pattern).

a square root of a not square number is irrational (not rational).

so, what this question is asking us to get rid of the square root part in the denominator (the bottom part).

for this we need to multiply to and bottom with the same expression (to keep the whole value of the quotient the same) that, when multiplied at the bottom, eliminates the square root.

what can I multiply a square root with to eliminate the square root ? the square root again - we are squaring the square root.

so, what works for 9 - sqrt(14) as factor ?

we cannot just square this as

(9- sqrt(14))² = 81 -2sqrt(14) + 14

we still have the square root included.

but remember the little trick :

(a+b)(a-b) = a² - b²

without any mixed elements.

so, we need to multiply (9-sqrt(14)) by (9+sqrt(14)) to get

81-14 = 67 which is a rational number.

therefore, the third answer option is correct.
