Answer:
x = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract x and 36 from both sides.
Divide both sides by -1.
Square both sides.
Subtract 144x from both sides.
Factor the right side.
Since the solution of the equation involved squaring both sides, we musty check the answer for possible extraneous solutions.
Check x = 36:
Since 0 = 0 is a true statement, the solution x = 36 is a valid solution.
He is wrong because 12:55 is one hr and you still need to get to 1:25 but he only got to 1:01 so he did not get the correct answer
Answer:
Both statements are sufficient to answer the question
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- The paint mixture has following proportions:
Total volume of paint = T
Blue: x*T / 100
Green: y*T/100
Red: z*T/100
Find:
Statement 1: x = y
Statement: z = 60
Which of the above statement is sufficient to calculate the amount of green paint used
Solution:
Statement 1:
- The amount of blue paint used is:
1 gallon = x*T / 100
- x = y,
1 gallon = y*T / 100
Hence,
Amount of green paint used is 1 gallon
- The statement is sufficient
Statement 2:
- The amount of red paint used is:
3 gallon = z*T / 100
T = 300 / z = 300 / 60 = 5 gallons
T = R + B + G
G = T - R - B
G = 5 - 3 - 1
G = 1 gallons
Hence,
Amount of green paint used is 1 gallon
- The statement is sufficient
Let x be the original position.
After the first play they gain 9 yards. The position can be represented by
x + 9
After the second play they lose 22 yards. The position can be represented by
x + 9 - 22 = x - 13
Therefore, in total they lost 13 yards.
Answer is C. 7/12 has the reciprocal of 12/7. When You multiply by a reciprocal, you just switch the numerator and denominator. The answer does NOT become negative. It would change the fraction itself.
Example:
3/6= 6/3
5/7= 7/5
