Answer:

b = 10

Explanation:

Lets start by combining like terms (b):

3/2b + 1/5b

to combine these fractions you must get them to both have the same denominator:

3/2 · 5/5 = 15/10     multiply top and bottom by other fractions denominator

1/5 · 2/2 = 2/10       multiply top and bottom by other fractions denominator

15/10 + 2/10 = 17/10

17/10b = 17

Now we want to get the b to be by itself, so lets first multiply both sides by 10:

17b = 170

Now lets divide both sides by 17:

b = 10

Hope this helped!

3/2b + 1/5b = 17

Multiply both sides by the LCD.  The LCD is 2 * 5 = 10.

10 * 3/2b + 10 * 1/5b = 10 * 17

15b + 2b = 170

17b = 170

b = 10

The diameter of a circle measures 7 5/6 inches. What is the radius of the circle? Enter your answer as a mixed number in the box
andrew-mc [135]

The radius of the circle expressed as a mixed number is:  3\frac{11}{12} inches.

<h3>What is the Radius of a Circle?</h3>

Radius of a circle = half the measure of the diameter of a circle.

Given:

diameter of a circle = 7\frac{5}{6} inches

Therefore:

Radius of the circle = 1/2(7\frac{5}{6})

= 1/2(47/6)

= (1 × 47)/(2 × 6)

= 47/12

= 3\frac{11}{12} inches.

Therefore, the radius of the circle expressed as a mixed number is:  3\frac{11}{12} inches.

Trisha and Byron are washing and vacuuming cars to raise money for a class trip. Trisha raised $38 washington 5 cars and vacuumi
ANEK [815]

Answer:

They charged <u>$6</u> for washing and <u>$2</u> for vacuuming the car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the charge of washing a car be 'x'.

And also let the charge of vacuuming a car be 'y'.

Now according to question, Trisha raised $38 washing 5 cars and vacuuming 4 cars.

So framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

5x+4y=38\ \ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Again according to question, Byron raises $28 by washing 4 cars and vacuuming 2 cars.

So framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

4x+2y=28\ \ \ \ \ equation\2

Now multiplying equation 2 by '2', we get;

2(4x+2y)=28\times2\\\\8x+4y=56\ \ \ \ equation\ 3

Now we subtract equation 1 from equation 3 and get;

(8x+4y)-(5x+4y)=56-38\\\\8x+4y-5x-4y=18\\\\3x=18\\\\x=\frac{18}{3}=6

Now substituting the value of 'x' in equation 1, we get;

5x+4y=38\\\\5\times6+4y=38\\\\30+4y=38\\\\4y=38-30=8\\\\y=\frac{8}{4}=2

Hence They charged <u>$6</u> for washing and <u>$2</u> for vacuuming the car.
