You can write the amount that they spent individually in a ratio where:
Holly : Jimmy
2 : 5
The total of this ratio would be 2+5 = $7.
To find the scale factor multiplier for the base ratio of 2:5:
35/7 = 5
Multiply both sides of the ratio by 5.
Holly : Jimmy
2 x5 : 5 x5
10 : 25
You can see that the total of this ratio is now $35, where Jimmy spent $25.
There are 3.5 tons of bricks on the truck. Hope I helped and good luck!
For starters, follow through this problem on the order of operations. PEMDAS is the one I use, but I’ve seen others. It stands for Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction. You can’t do anything inside the parenthesis and there are no exponents, so we skip to the multiplication. That -2 outside of the parenthesis is what you multiply by. So, your equation then becomes 7x -6x +12. Combining like terms, you are left with x + 12. If what are looking for is substituting -3 in for x, that’s also easy. Just put -3 in place of all the x’s and again follow through order of operations. 7(-3)-2[4(-3)-6] is what you should start off looking like. Doing your multiplication, you have -21 -2(-12-6). Go to your parenthesis, -21 -2(-18). Multiply, -21 + 36. And finally, add. If using substitution, your answer is 15. I did both equations because I didn’t know which way they were supposed to be drone because that x= -3 thing was confusing me. I hope this helped though. :)
The answer is 3704, because, well it depends on his u work it out
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we can use the figure attached and we are interested in order to find the value of x.
We have two similar triangles (DEC and ABC) and we can find the scale factor like this:
And now we can apply proportions in order to find the value of x using the two sides DE and BA, since we have the ratio between the triangle DEC and ABC we have this:
And solving for x we got:
And then the distance across the lake would be 2000 ft
