The ratio to this problem is 750:216
Your answer will be -2+2+4= 4
-3-1+4=0
so it will be 4,0
Solve:
"<span>twice the number minus three times the reciprocal of the number is equal to 1."
3(1)
Let the number be n. Then 2n - ------- = 1
n
Mult all 3 terms by n to elim. the fractions:
2n^2 - 3 = n. Rearranging this, we get 2n^2 - n - 3 = 0.
We need to find the roots (zeros or solutions) of this quadratic equation.
Here a=2, b= -1 and c= -3. Let's find the discriminant b^2-4ac first:
disc. = (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-3) = 1 + 24 = 25.
That's good, because 25 is a perfect square.
-(-1) plus or minus 5 1 plus or minus 5
Then x = ------------------------------ = --------------------------
2(2) 4
x could be 6/4 = 3/2, or -5/4.
You must check both answers in the original equation. If the equation is true for one or the other or for both, then you have found one or more solutions.</span>
Are you looking for the number of cans you and your friend each collected? If yes, here is the solution:
Let x be the number of cans.
4x + 5x = 180
9x = 180
9x/9 = 180/9 (divide both sides of the equation by 9)
x = 20
Now, substitute the values:
4(20) + 5(20) = 180
80 + 100 = 180
180 = 180
Therefore, you collected 80 cans and your friend collected 100 cans.
