You said X = (5y+1) / (y-2)
Multiply each side by (y-2):
X(y-2) = (5y+1)
Eliminate parentheses:
Xy - 2X = 5y + 1
Add 2X to each side:
Xy = 5y + 1 + 2X
Subtract 5y from each side:
(X-5)y = 1 + 2X
Divide each side by (X-5):
<em>y = (1+2X) / (X-5) </em>
im sure it would be 2:4. if it was to be simplified it would be 1:2
Answer;
The generator was not fair.
Explanation;
The number generator is not fair. This is because the correct percentage of black socks was not chosen at all.
So to solve this first you need to convert all the answers to decimals.
Site B 17/9 = 1.89 when you round up
Site D 4/3 = .75
Then look at all the numbers least to greatest.
D .75 m C 1.36 m A 1.60 m B 1.89 m
Answer D, C, A, B
Assuming no border or waste, 9m by 16 m translates to 29.52' x 52.49'.
use 32/8=4 sheets of plywood to cover the width on the 8' side.
For the length, use 52/4=13 pieces on the 4' side.
This gives a total of 4*13=52 sheets.
The extra 0.49' x 29.52 can be covered using the extra from the last four sheets for the width.
Check:
Area to be covered: 29.52*52.49=1550 sq. ft.
Area of plywood supplied = 52*4'x8'= 1664 sq. ft, > 1550 sq.ft.
