Jane = x years

Tom = x+8

*5 Years Ago

Jane= x-5

Tom= (x+8)-5=>x+3---------------------------
x+3=3(x-5)<span>x+3=3x-15
3x-x=18

Need help on math idk how to do this it says 118/13 = 59/z then wants me to give it an answer ik the answer 6.5 but how?
Hatshy [7]

Answer: 6.5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

\frac{118}{13} = \frac{59}{z}

Cross multiply:  118(z) = 13(59)

                                z = \frac{13(59)}{118}

                                   = 6.5

Answer: 30 couples.

Justification:

You can follow a systematic approach to tackle this kind of problems.

Construct a chain of ratios whose units cancel out to yield to a result with the right units of the answer you are looking for.

In this case you want to know the number of couples that took the ride in 30 minutes.

The input data are:

1 couple / seat

1 seat / minute

Then, by multiplying those two data you get: [1 couple / seat] * [1 seat / minute], which, treating the units appropiately yields to 1 couple / minute.

Next, you realize that when you muliply 1 couple / minute times the number of minutes you get the number of couples that took the ride in that time.

So, the answer is: 1 couple / minute * 30 minute = 30 couples (the minutes cancel out because they appear in the denominator and numerator).

So, when you work with ratios and proportions, the use of units helps you a lot to figure out the way to get the answer.

1/4 ÷ 2/3 show,step please

\frac{1}{4} ÷ \frac{2}{3} is the equation

When dividing fractions, you "flip-flop" and multiply

So what that means is that you flip the second fraction and multiply

So \frac{2}{3} is now \frac{3}{2}

Now the equation is \frac{1}{4} × \frac{3}{2} which equals \frac{3}{8}

Your answer is \frac{3}{8}

Which of the following is the correct factorization of this trinomial?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

(2x-3)(2x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2-0x-9

(4x^2-9)

(2x)^2 - (3)^2

We recognize that this is the difference of squares a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

(2x-3)(2x+3)
