Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide each term by - 1/4 first
- -1/2x ÷ (- 1/4) = 1/2x × 4 = 2x
- -5/4y ÷ (- 1/4) = 5/4y × 4 = 5y
Now facor out - 1/4
- - 1/2x - 5/4y =
- - 1/4 (2x + 5y)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age be xy or 10x + y.
Reverse the two digits of my age, divide by three, add 20, and the result is my age, convert this to equation:
- (10y + x)/3 + 20 = 10x + y
- (10y + x)/3 = 10x + y - 20
- 10y + x = 3(10x + y - 20)
- 10y + x = 30x + 3y - 60
- 30x - x + 3y - 10y = 60
- 29x - 7y = 60
We should consider both x and y are between 1 and 9 since both the age and its reverse are 2-digit numbers.
Possible options for x are:
- 29x ≥ 7*1 + 60 = 67 ⇒ x > 2, at minimum value of y,
and
- 29x ≤ 7*9 + 60 = 123 ⇒ x < 5, at maximum value of y.
So x can be 3 or 4.
<h3>If x = 3</h3>
- 29*3 - 7y = 60
- 87 - 7y = 60
- 7y = 27
- y = 27/7, discarded as fraction.
<h3>If x = 4</h3>
- 29*4 - 7y = 60
- 116 - 7y = 60
- 7y = 56
- y = 8
So the age is 48.
Answer:
8%
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 100 cubes and 8 arent shaded
thats 8 out of 100
8/100 = .08 = 8%
Answer:
1 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of the triangle = A = ¹/₂ab
where a is the distance covered by the first person and b is the distance covered by the second person. since they walk at the same speed, then a = b, so our formula can be changed to A = ¹/₂x²
now we find the derivative of both sides:
dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ dx²/dt
dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ 2x ⋅ dx/dt
dA/dt = x ⋅ dx/dt = x ⋅ velocity
we are told that x = 5 m, and dA/dt = 5 m²/s
velocity = dA/dt / x
velocity = 5 m²/s / 5 m = 1 m/s
Since it is two negatives you are actually adding so -3 +4 would equal 1
