x \div y = 3 \div 5  \\ it \: means  =  \\ 3y = 5x \\ x - y = 18 \\

To solve we multiply the last equation by 5 and we get the following:

5x-5y=90

But 5x=3y and we replace it in this equation:

3y-5y=90

-2y=90

y=-45

and x-(-45)=18 , x+45=18

x=-27

Alecsey [184]

A ball is thrown from an initial height of 2 meters with an initial upward velocity of 9/ms

Balls height h= 2 +9t -5t^2

To find all values of t for which the ball's height is 3 meters

We plug in 3 for h and solve for t

h= 2 +9t -5t^2

3 = 2 +9t -5t^2

Solve for t

0= -1+ 9t -5t^2

5t^2 - 9t + 1 = 0

Solve using quadratic formula

t= \frac{-b+- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

t= \frac{9+- \sqrt{(-9)^2-4*5*1} }{2*5}

After simplifying this,

t= \frac{9+\sqrt{61}}{10} = 0.11898

t= \frac{9-\sqrt{61}}{10} = 1.68102

the values of t for which the ball's height is 3 meters= 0.12 sec , 1.68 sec

£40 is divided between Jim, Krutika & Natasha so that Jim gets twice as much as Krutika, and Krutika gets three times as muc
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:Jim gets £24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount Natasha gets be represented as x

SO that Krutika getting  three times as much as Natasha be represented as 3x

AND Jim getting  twice as much as Krutika  be represented as 2 x 3x=6x

The equation to show how much each gets can be represented as

x + 3x  +6x=40

Solving

x +3x + 6x=40

10x =40

x =40/10 =4

Natasha gets £4

Krutika gets 3x =3x4= £12

Jim gets 6x=6 x4= £24
