Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find <em>x</em>. Since <em>x</em> is the average of the three number, add the three up and then divided by three. Thus:
<em>y</em> is the cube root of 8. Thus:
![y=\sqrt[3]{8}=2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B8%7D%3D2)
So:
Solve using equations:
Gina 11 = a+b+c
Sam 27 = 2a+3b+2c
Robby 19= a+2b+2c
Gina *2 give 22=2a+2b+2c (subtract this from Sam to give)
b=5
the subtract Robby from Gina *2 to give a=3
[Question 1]
let d = number of dramas Gina rented, c = # of comedies, and t = # of documentaries:
[equation a] d + c + t = 11
[equation b] 2d + 3c + 2t = 27
[equation c] d + 2c + 2t = 19
if we subtract [a] from [c] we get:
[equation d] c + t = 8
if we subtract [c]*2 from [b] we get:
[equation e] -c - 2t = -11 or
[equation e] c + 2t = 11
Now we can subtract [e] from [d] to solve for t:
t = 3
Now put in 3 for t in [d] or [e] to solve for c:
c + 2(3) = 11
c + 6 = 11
c = 5
So she rented 5 comedies and 3 documentaries which leaves 3 dramas (which is answer A)
If you would like to evaluate u + xy, you can do this using the following steps:
u = 18, x = 10, y = 8
u + xy = 18 + 10 * 8 = 18 + 80 = 98
The correct result would be C. 98.
Answer:
18:12 (accurate)
3:2 (simplified)
Step-by-step explanation:
The team won 18 games out of 30 total games. Find the amount of games lost by simply subtracting 18 with 30:
30 - 18 = 12
The ratio you are trying to find is won to lost, or won:lost. Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding terms:
won:lost ⇒ 18:12
18:12 is the ratio.
If the teacher asks you to simplify, factor both sides. Divide 6 from both sides:
(18)/6 : (12)/6
3:2
3:2 is your simplified ratio.
