There are 12 inches in a foot so if there is 60 inches and you want to find how many feet it make then divide the amount of inches by 12
Answer:
x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x = 3/4 - (3 sqrt(5))/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
8 x^2 - 12 x - 23 = -5
Divide both sides by 8:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 - 23/8 = -5/8
Add 23/8 to both sides:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 = 9/4
Add 9/16 to both sides:
x^2 - (3 x)/2 + 9/16 = 45/16
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 3/4)^2 = 45/16
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 3/4 = (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x - 3/4 = -(3 sqrt(5))/4
Add 3/4 to both sides:
x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x - 3/4 = -(3 sqrt(5))/4
Add 3/4 to both sides:
Answer: x = 3/4 + (3 sqrt(5))/4 or x = 3/4 - (3 sqrt(5))/4
Since there were 9 feet of ribbon and Jim uses 1/3 we are going to do 9/1 * 1/3 and get 3 Jim makes 3 ribbons.
Answer:
(L-a)/d + 1 = n
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's isolate (n-1), and after that isolate n:
1) subtract a from both sides: L - a = (n-1)d
2) Divide both sides by d: (L-a)/d = n-1
3) Add 1 to both sides, to isolate n: (L-a)/d + 1 = n
