Answer:
x = 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
-9(x - 5) = x + 22 1/2
Distribute the nine and then add 9x to both sides
-9x + 45 = x +22 1/2
+ 9x + 9x
Then try to get x alone
45 = 10x + 22 1/2
-22 1/2 -22 1/2
22.5 = 10x
2.25 = x
Answer:
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
i believe this is the answer
The first thing we must do for this case is to look for the area of each rectangle.
We have then:
A1 = (40) * (x)
A2 = (1.25 * 40) * (y)
Then, we have the following relationship between areas:
"the area of Q is 10% less than the area of p"
A2 = 0.9 * A1
Substituting values we have:
(1.25 * 40) * (y) = 0.9 * ((40) * (x))
We rewrite:
50y = 36x
The relationship x: y is:
x / y = (50) / (36)
Simplifying:
x / y = (25) / (18)
Answer:
the ratio of x:y is:
25:18
<span>PAPER MONEY.
As wealth increases, owning a large number of gold and silver coins becomes a security problem. As coins are portable, they are also easy to steal. The next step in the development of money was for people to leave their surplus gold and silver coins with a goldsmith who had a reputation for honesty and who operated premises which were secure. The goldsmith would give a receipt, which would entitle the owner to withdraw their coins when they needed them. This was the beginning of paper money.</span>
