C. 5/6b = 140
(*assuming b = total number of cards)
If the piles have an equal number of cards and 5 out of the 6 piles were put in the collection, 5/6 of the cards were put into the collection. The total number of cards put in the collection is 140, so 5/6b=140.

Six equal piles. Five were put in a collection which equaled 140 cards. That means there were 28 cards per pile for a total number or cards equals 168 cards so the answer is C. 5/6b = 140

sergey [27]

Answer:

The area of a rectangle is:

\sf A=lw

Plug in what we know:

\sf x^2-7x+10=l(x-5)

Factor the left side:

\sf (x-2)(x-5)=l(x-5)

Divide (x - 5) to both sides:

\sf l=\boxed{\sf x-2}

So the length is x - 2 meters.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: You can set up the equation: $\sqrt{\frac{n}{3} }$ = $\sqrt{n-4}$ You square both sides to cancel out the squares which leaves you with $\frac{n}{3}$ = n - 4. Then you just solve as normal which ends you up with an answer of 6. You can check this by plugging 6 back into the equation and see that you end up with $\sqrt{2}$ on both sides.
