(x + 5)(x - 7)
x(x - 7) + 5(x - 7)
x(x) - x(7) + 5(x) - 5(7)
x² - 7x + 5x - 35
x² - 2x - 35
The bananas are not an equal number so you would not have the same amount unless you take one out.
Add the ratios together:
5 + 2 + 1 = 8
Divide the length of NQ by that:
24/8 = 3
Multiply the ratio of NO by that/l
The ratio of NO is 5, 5 x 3 = 15
NO = 15
Answer:
He has driven 16 miles so far
Step-by-step explanation:
The unknown in your equation is the total length of Trey's drive, which we will call "x".
From the problem statement, you know that 12 is three-fourths of x so set up the following equation and solve for "x":
3/4(x) = 12
multiply both sides of the equation by 4/3 to isolate "x":
(4/3)(3/4)(x) = (12)(4/3)
therefore
x = (12)(4)/(3) = 16
The correct answer is f=(1/3)m
