Answer:
Step 2 has the error
1. The whole number (20) was left out
2. Adding different signs, we subtract and retain the sign from the larger number
Correction:
Step 2: 20 - 17x = 34x + 60
Step 3: -17x -34x = 60 - 20
Step 4: -51x = 40
Step 5: x = 40/-51
Since if he gets the driveway done in 20 minutes he gets 1/20th of the driveway done in 1 minute (if x=20 then x/20=1 by dividing both sides by 20) and if his brother gets 1/12th of the driveway done in one minute, then if t represents the time it takes to shovel the driveway, t/20+t/12=1 driveway shoveled as 1/20+1/12=amount they can do in 1 minute, so t/20+t/12 is how much they can do in t minutes. Multiplying both sides by 20*12=240, we get 12t+20t=32t=240. Dividing both sides by 32, we get 240/32=7.5 minutes to shovel the driveway.
We need to have common denominators, so I will multiply 1 1/2 by 4
15/8 + 12/8 + 7/8 = 34/8
4&1/4 pounds of meat
20x1/4=5
Think thats what you mean
Answer:
Solution given:
perpendicular [P]=15m
base[B]=8m
hypotenuse [H]=17m
rate :4 plants per square metre
no of plants=?
we have
Area of triangular garden: ½(P*B)=½(15*8)=60m²
Now
Total no of plants =rate ×Area =4×60=240
Michael needs <u>240</u> plants in the garden
