Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The segments described in the question are equidistant (meaning they are the same length). Therefore, using algebraic techniques, we can set these two equal to each other and solve for x.
4x - 8 = 6x - 4 Combine like terms by subtracting 6x from both sides.
-2x - 8 = -4 Combine like terms by adding 8 to both sides.
-2x = 4 Divide by -2 on both sides of the equation.
x = -2
2x + b = w
2x = w - b
x = (w - b)/2
Since 1/6 of the day was spent in the flower bed and 2/3 of that was spreading mulch, we need to find 2/3 of 1/6 to find out how much of the day was spreading the mulch.
In math "of" means times
"is" means equals
2/3 of 1/6 is
translates to
2/3 x 1/6 =
Now we just multiply the numerators across and denominators across then reduce if possible...
2/3 x 1/6 = 2/18
2 and 18 both divide by 2 so it reduces
2/18 = 1/9
Tom spent 1/9 of the day spreading mulch.
Answer:
Social Security: $9.63
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe the phi ratio^2 = 1 + phi ratio
phi ratio = 1.6180339
phi ratio^2 = 2.6180339
