Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:  x = -1, 12

Discussion:

I will assume the problem means to solve for x in

11/(3x) - 1/3 = -4/ (x^2)

Multiply both sides by 3

11/x - 1  = (-4 *3)/ x^2

Multiple both sides by x^2

(11/x) * x^2 - x^2 = ((-12)/ x^2)   * x^2  or

11x - x^2 = -12. Rearrange to get

x^2 - 11x - 12 = 0.  Factor this equation:

(x-12) (x +1)  = 0

so the roots are x = -1, 12



Thank you,

MrB

What are the necessary conditions to apply the SAS triangle congruence theorem?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is 2. An angle and the two sides collinear with the angles race are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Side Angle Side postulate (often abbreviated as SAS) states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.

An included angle is an angle formed by two given sides.

So, the correct answer is 2. An angle and the two sides collinear with the angles race are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle.

Use the circle graph to determine how much hours per day Becky spends on each activity?
blagie [28]

WE know 1 day = 24 hours

To find number of hours spent on each activity, we multiply the corresponding percentage by 24

School :         25 % --> 0.25 * 24 = 6.00 hrs

Eating :          10 % ----> 0.1 * 24 = 2.40 hrs

Sleep :           40 % ----> 0.4 * 24 = 9.60 hrs

Homework:   10 % ---->0.1 * 24 = 2.40 hrs

Free time:      15 % -----> 0.15 * 24 = 3.60 hrs

A number is divisible by two if you get no remainder when you divide that number by two. Even numbers are divisible by two. Odd numbers are not divisible by two.
