If p+q has the value that is exactly 1/3 less than p what is the value of q

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

q = - $\frac{1}{3}$ p

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{3}$ less than p = $\frac{2}{3}$ p

Thus

p + q = $\frac{2}{3}$ p ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

3p + 3q = 2p ( subtract 3p from both sides )

3q = - p ( divide both sides by 3 )

q = - $\frac{1}{3}$ p

For the given vectors $\vec{a}=a_{1}\hat{i}+a_{2}\hat{j}$ and $\vec{b}=b_{1}\hat{i}+b_{2}\hat{j}$

The dot product of vectors a and b is defined as = $\vec{a}.\vec{b}=(a_{1}\times b_{1}+a_{2} \times b_{2})$

So, $\vec{a}.\vec{b} = (4\hat{i}+3\hat{j}). (-4\hat{i}+4\hat{j})$

$\vec{a}.\vec{b}=(4\times(-4)+3 \times4)$

= -16+12

= -4

$32.072 ≈ $32.07
20% of $38 is equal to $7.60
$38 - $7.60 = $30.40
5.5% of $30.40 = 1.672
$30.40 + $1.672 = $32.072

9*(x-1)=2x-7
First get rid of your parenthesis by distributing.
9x-9=2x-7
Then all you have to do is isolate the variable
9x=2x+2
7x=2
so x= 2/7

S= R- 1/3R

The first problem s=18 r-= 6
This is how it works

Use S-= R-1/3R
12= 18-1/3(18)
12= 18-6
12=12
