The number of pieces in a whole relates to the size of each piece because say you have a pizza and you want to divide into five pieces for five of your friends it depends on how big the pizza is to if it can feed that many people.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>We know that:</u>
- Samantha = 15 + 2x
- Matt = 3 + 4x
- Samantha = Matt
- [x = Number of hours]
<u>Solution:</u>
- 15 + 2x = 3 + 4x
- => 15 - 3 = -2x + 4x
- => 12 = 2x
- => x = 6
Hence, after 6 hours of work, Samantha and Matt will have the same amount.
Remark
This is a very interesting question. Draw a line from the origin to where the upper right vertex of the square touches the line. That line has the property that the its equation is y = x. So the "solution" to the point of intersection is the solution of the two equations.
y = x (1)
3x + 4y = 12 (2)
Put x in for y in equation 2
3x + 4x = 12
7x = 12
x = 12/7
x = 1.714
y = 1.714
Problem A
<em><u>x intercept</u></em>
The x intercept occurs when y = 0
3x + 4(0) = 12
3x = 12 Divide by 3
x = 12/3
x = 4
the x intercept = (4,0)
<em><u>y intercept</u></em>
The y intercept occurs when x =0
3(0) + 4y = 12
4y = 12
y = 12/4
y = 3
y intercept = (0,3)
Problem B
x and y both equal 1.714 so they are also the length of the square's side.
Problem C
See solution above. x =y is the key fact.
x = y = 1.714
Answer:
3:55
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 5+25+30+1hour+15 minutes=2:15
subtract that from 6:10=
3:55
A. Their signs are the same.
b. one is negative, the other is positive
