First let's define variables:
r: reading
s: skimming
We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem:
r + s = 275
(15/10) r + (10/15) s = 355
We solve the system of equations:
r = 206
s = 69
Note: see attached image for system solution.
Answer:
Jayden had to skim 69 pages through
31/50
31 ÷ 50 = 0.62
0.62 x 100 = 62%
So the answer is 62%
Hope this helps I didn't know if the 7k was apart of the problem or a typo
X² = 17
To simplify this, you need to find the square root of x², which is x, and the square root of 17.
x = √17
Also remember that when you are using square root, the answer can be either positive or negative.
x = +/-√17 ≈ +/- 4.12
Answer:
D) bx - a
Step-by-step explanation:
If a/b is a zero, then (x -a/b) is a factor of the polynomial. That is, the value x=a/b will make a factor of the polynomial be zero.
The above factor can be written without fractions by multiplying it by b:
(bx -a) . . . . matches choice D

You can also choose the answer on the basis of which expression becomes zero when x=a/b.
