Explain how to use multiplication to find

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sindrei [870]3 years ago

A fraction x/y is a ratio between two numbers x and y.

The ratio is preserved if both x and y are scaled up or down by the same number n.

This means you can obtain any fraction equivalent to x/y by multiplying both x and y by n, i.e. (n*x)/(n*y).

Then we have 1/4 = (2*1)/(2*4) = 2/8, for example.

Solve the equation x^5-4x^4+4x^3+2x^2-5x+2=0
sergejj [24]

Answer:

x = 2 or x = 1 or x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

x^5 - 4 x^4 + 4 x^3 + 2 x^2 - 5 x + 2 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:

(x - 2) (x - 1)^3 (x + 1) = 0

Split into three equations:

x - 2 = 0 or (x - 1)^3 = 0 or x + 1 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

x = 2 or (x - 1)^3 = 0 or x + 1 = 0

Take cube roots of both sides:

x = 2 or x - 1 = 0 or x + 1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 2 or x = 1 or x + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides:

Answer:  x = 2 or x = 1 or x = -1

Solve the system of equations<br> .625x - y = -9.625<br> -65x - y = -5
Ivan
Here, 0.625x - y = -9.625
y = 0.625x + 9.625

Substitute the value of y in 2nd equation, 
-65x - (0.625x + 9.625) = -5
-65x - 0.625x -9.625 = -5
-65.625x = 9.625 - 5
x = -4.625/65.625
x = -0.070

Now, substitute it in first equation, 
-65(-0.070) - y = -5
4.58 + 5 = y
y = 9.58

In short, Your Answer would be: (-0.070, 9.58)

Hope this helps!

The price of a cycle is reduced by 25 per cent. The new price is reduced by a further 20 per cent.Find the single reduction the
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

40%  . The single reduction together is 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bicycle cost is   x before reduced price.

First 25% is reduced  and again 20% further reduced.

Let the single reduction is y% if the two reduction together are equal.

Solution,

Case .1

reduction cost=x\times 25%%

=x\times 25/100

=x/4

The cost of bicycle after reduction of 25% is

=x-x/4=3x/4

cost of reduction further reduction of 20%      =3x/4\times 20%

=3x\times 20/(4\times 100)

=3x/20

The new cost of bicycle is further reduction of 20% is

=3x/4-3x/20

=\left ( 15x-3x \right )/20

=12x/20=3x/5

Case.2

if single reduction is done new cost of cycle is equal

x-x\times y%=3x/5

x\left ( 1-y/100 \right )=3x/5

\left ( 100-y \right )/100=3/5

100-y=60

y=40%

single reduction of a cycle is 40%

Challenge question<br>please help<br>​
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The 3 possible values of x are;

6, 4 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is isosceles, then two of the sides must be equal

So we equate the sides, 2 at a time to get the different values of x

3x + 4 = 2x + 10

3x-2x = 10-4

x = 6

3x + 4 = x + 12

3x-x = 12-4

2x = 8

x = 8/2 = 4

2x + 10 = x + 12

2x - x = 12-10

x = 2
