Let's say each row has x desks and there are y rows.
We then know that x*y =25
We also know that x*2-5=y (number number of rows is five less than twice the number of desks in each row)
So we substitute: x*(x*2-5)=25
putting numbers out of the brackets:
2x*x-5x=25
2x*x-5x-25=0
(2x+5)(x-5)=0 (this bracketing is true: you can check it by expanding it:
2x*x-10x+5x-25
So that means that either x=-2.5which can't be : there can't be a fractional number of benches,
or x=5
so each row has 5 desks and there are 2*5-5 rows, or 5 rows.
It equals 276 but about 300
So the sum of 17 and a number x means to add them on one side of the equals sign. The other side would be your 20.
17 + x = 20
Answer:
7 to 3 is this answer
Step-by-step explanation:
if you noticed, with all the other ones they all have 3 : 7 in it. So by the process of elimination it's 7 to 3 that is different. I'll tell you why,
3 : 7, that is the ratio we have as an example. That's why it isn't the different one.
3 to 7, you say 3 : 7 as 3 to 7 to it still has the same ratio
3/7, this is how to type the fraction version of the ratio so it makes sense that it is the same one as 3 : 7.
7 to 3, if you haven't noticed yet, all of them has 3 : 7 as a counterpart. They are all the same but this one, this is 7 : 3 or 7 to 3. So with logic, this is the different ratio.
1 cm because 1 cm * 1 cm * 1 cm = 1 cm
