Answer: 1045 cm of red ribbon and 1045 cm of yellow ribbon

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let R represent the amount red ribbon and Y represent the amouont of yellow ribbon.

  • bought the same lengths of red and yellow: R = Y
  • after used 286 of red, yellow is 5 times the remaining red; 5(R - 836) = Y

Use substitution method to solve:

5(R - 836) = R

5R - 4180 = R   <em>distributed 5 on the left side</em>

4R - 4180 = 0   <em>subtracted R from both sides</em>

4R = 4180         <em>added 4180 to both sides</em>

R = 1045         <em>divided both sides by 4</em>

The ratio of tom’s age to Mary’s is 3:4.If Tom is 15 how old is Mary
AnnZ [28]
Hey there!

Tom's age to Mary's is 3:4; an equivalent ratio is 15:x (x symbolizes Mary's age).

To solve for this, we need to divide our proportions. By that, I mean divide Tom's older age by his younger age. If we do so, we should get a scale factor that we can multiply Mary's younger age by.

15 / 3 = 5

This means that the scale factor of the ages is 5.

x / 4 = 5 (Solving for Mary's unknown age.)

To solve for x, multiply both sides by 4.

x/4 * 4 = x
5 * 4 = 20

x = 20

Mary's age is 20.

I hope this helps!

3 times a number is 54 less than the square of that number. Find the negative solution.
Pavel [41]

Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

3x = x^2 -54

Subtract 3x

3x-3x = x^2 -3x-54

0 = x^2 -3x-54

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -54 and add to -3

-9*6 = -54

-9+6 = -3

0=(x-9) (x+6)

Using the zero product property

x-9=0    x+6=0

x=9  x=-6

The questions asks for the negative solution

x=-6

The answer uses NMF for formatting, which you can find out about in my profile if needed:

the equation is this:
time = {total paid - 35}/{15}

Put in what we know:
time = {95 - 35}/{15}
time = {60}/{15}
time = 4 hours
