\frac{789}{548}x- \frac{89}{887}=\frac{688}{8724}

first we try to semplify as much as possible the fractions.

First we decompose the numbers

789 = 3 * 263

548 = 2 * 2 * 137 = 2^2

they have nothing in common, so the first fraction remains so

89 = 89 (prime number)

887 = 887 (prime number)

they have nothing in common, so the second one remains so

688 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 43 = 2^4 * 43

8724 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 727 = 2^2 * 3 * 727

they have 2^2 (=4) in common, so the numerator and the denominator can be devided by 4

\frac{688}{8724}= \frac{688:4}{8724:4}=\frac{172}{2181}

so:

\frac{789}{548}x- \frac{89}{887}=\frac{172}{2181}

now we calculate the common denominator

take the scomposition:

548 = 2^2 * 137

887 = 887

2181 = 3 * 727

take every number one time

so the common denominator is 2^2 * 137 * 887 * 727 * 3 = 1'060'131'756

now calculate every single numerator: first we divide each denominator by the common denominator, then we moltiply the result with each numerator

first fraction: 789/548

1060131756 / 548 = 1934547

1934547 * 789 = 1526357583

second fraction: 89/887

1060131756 / 887 = 1195188

1195188 * 89 = 106371732

third one: 172/2181

1060131756 / 2181 = 486076

486076 * 172 = 83605072

now we can delete the common denominator

1526357583x - 106371732 = 83605072

solve it

1526357583x = 83605072 + 106371732

1526357583x = 189976804

x = 1526357583 / 189976804

decompose

1526357583 = 887 * 3 * 3 * 727 * 263

189976804 = 137 * 2 * 2 * 211 * 53 * 31

nothing in common

x = 1526357583 / 189976804

Old Mc Donald raises ducks and cows. The animals have a total of 100 heads and 354 feet. How many ducks and how many cows does O
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The number of ducks Old Mc Donald raises are 23 and the number of cows Old Mc Donald raises are 77.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Old Mc Donald raises ducks and cows. The animals have a total of 100 heads and 354 feet.

Let the number of ducks Old Mc Donald raises be 'x' and the number of cows Old Mc Donald raises be 'y'.

So, according to the question;

  • The first condition states that the animals have a total of 100 heads, that means;

                                   x+y=100

                                    x=100-y  -------------------- [equation 1]

{because one head of a duck and one head of cow}

  • The second condition states that the animals have a total of 354 feet, that means;

                                   2x+4y=354

                                   x+2y=177   --------------- [equation 2]

{because there are two feet of a duck and four feet of cow}

Now, putting the value of x in equation 2 we get;

                                  100-y+2y=177

                                  y=177-100

                                    y = 77 cows

Putting this value of y in equation 1 we get;

                                 x = 100 - y

                                 x = 100 - 77 = 23 ducks

Hence, the number of ducks Old Mc Donald raises are 23 and the number of cows Old Mc Donald raises are 77.

Consider the following formula used to estimate the height, h, of a seeding after w weeks since planting h=(1/5)w + (8/5)which o
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

w=5h-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the original formula h=(1/5)w+(8/5)

Subtract -8/5 on both sides to isolate the w, so h-8/5=(1/5)w

Now you have to get rid of the 1/5, so multiply 5(h-8/5), the 5 in the 8/5 cross each other out. You are left with 5h-8

What is the equation in point -slope form of a line that passes trough the points (3,-5) and (-8,4)
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The equation in point - slope form of a line that passes through the points (3,-5) and (-8,4) is: y-(-5) = -(9/11) (x-3) or y+5 = -(9/11) (x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

P1=(3,-5)=(x1,y1)→x1=3, y1=-5

P2=(-8,4)=(x2,y2)→x2=-8, y2=4

Equation in Point-Slope Form: y-y1=m(x-x1)

Slope: m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Replacing the known values:

m=[4-(-5)] / (-8-3)

m=(4+5) / (-11)

m=(9) / (-11)

m=-(9/11)

Equation in the point - slope form:

y-(-5) = -(9/11) (x-3)

y+5 = -(9/11) (x-3)
