Answer: -9

Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, notice that <em>x</em> is being multiplied by a fraction. In this situation, in order to get <em>x</em> by itself, we must multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of that fraction.

The reciprocal of a fraction is just that fraction flipped so the reciprocal of -2/3  is just -3/2. So here, in order to get <em>x</em> by itself, we multiply both sides of the equation by -3/2.

On the left, our 3's cancel and our 2's cancel and we have <em>x</em>. On the right our 6 and 2 reduced to 3 and 1 so we have 3 x -3 which is -9

Now we have x = -9.

On Saturday, many tickets for a hockey game were sold. Children and adult tickets were sold in the ratio of 4:7. There are 88 ti
Illusion [34]

Answer:

49 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

THis is pretty straight forward

So we have the ratio 4:7

We know there were 88 tickets in total but we don’t know the exact amount of adult and kids

So we can Add up the ratio

4+7=11

Now we can divide 88 by 11

you’ll get 7

So by doing this we know there are 7 groups of the ratio for child to adults 4:7

So we just multiply the 7 to each

4*7

7*7

you’ll get 28:49

Now we know there are 28 kid tickets and 49 adult tickets

We know this is correct becuase if you add up the ratio, it’ll be 88

Which is the same as the amount fo people at the hockey game

May I please get help with my math lesson if possible I don't know why they are 4 answers if 1 of the answers don't apply to any
Doss [256]

Answer: S1:E7 ; S2:E1 ; S3:E5

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

  • 3 answers apply
  • We need to find which answers go with each question

**A lot of info is problem-specific.

How to solve:

Since we only need to write the equations, we simply need to find the x and y variables, and the total.

Process:

Problem 1:

  • Find the x                                                                     5.50
  • Find the y                                                                     3
  • Find the total                                                                145
  • Write equation                                                      5.50 + 3 = 145

Problem 2:

  • Find the x                                                                     2.50
  • Find the y                                                                     0.75
  • Find the total                                                                25
  • Write equation                                                      2.50 + 0.75 = 25

Problem 3:

  • Find the x                                                                     2
  • Find the y                                                                     5
  • Find the total                                                                50
  • Write equation                                                        2 + 5 = 50

Solution: S1:E7 ; S2:E1 ; S3:E5

You need to construct fence around an area of 3136 ft2. What are the dimensions of the rectangular pen that minimize the amount
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The the area of the rectangular pen be A = LW

L is the length

W is the width

Given

A = 3136ft²

3136 = LW..........1

Given the perimeter P = 2L+2W....... 2

From 1; L = 3136/W

Substitute into 2

P = 2(3136/W)+2W

P = 6272/W + 2W

In order to minimize the amount of material needed, then dP/dW = 0

dP/dW = -6272/W² + 2

0 = -6272/W² + 2

6272/W² = 2

cross multiply

6272 = 2W²

W² = 3136

W = √3136

W = 56ft

Since A = LW

3136 = 56L

L = 3136/56

L = 56ft

Hence the dimensions of the rectangular pen that minimize the amount of material needed is 56ft by 56ft
