(6a + -8b)(6a + 8b) = 0
Multiply (6a + -8b) * (6a + 8b)
(6a * (6a + 8b) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0
((6a * 6a + 8b * 6a) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0
Reorder the terms:
((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0
((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0
(48ab + 36a2 + (6a * -8b + 8b * -8b)) = 0
(48ab + 36a2 + (-48ab + -64b2)) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(48ab + -48ab + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0
Combine like terms: 48ab + -48ab = 0
(0 + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0
(36a2 + -64b2) = 0
Solving
36a2 + -64b2 = 0
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '64b2' to each side of the equation.
36a2 + -64b2 + 64b2 = 0 + 64b2
Combine like terms: -64b2 + 64b2 = 0
36a2 + 0 = 0 + 64b2
36a2 = 0 + 64b2
Remove the zero:
36a2 = 64b2
Divide each side by '36'.
a2 = 1.777777778b2
Simplifying
a2 = 1.777777778b2
Take the square root of each side:
a = {-1.333333333b, 1.333333333b}</span>
Answer:
663
Step-by-step explanation:
the total number of students can be determined using this equation :
(total ratio of Chinese and Indian students / total ratio of students) x n = 468
total ratio of Chinese and Indian students = 4 + 8 = 12
total ratio of students 4 + 8 + 5 = 17
N = TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS
12/17) x n = 468
multiply both sides of the equation by 17/12
n = 663
Answer:
A. 1%
B. 80%
C. 0.8, 8/10
Step-by-step explanation:
A. There are 100 blocks so each block is 1/100 which is 1%
B. As you can see, there are 80 blocks shaded so that would be 80/100 which is 80%
C. You can represent a percent as a decimal or a fraction
Hope this helped!
