Answer:
x = ±√37/9
Step-by-step explanation:
x² = 37/81
√(x²) = √(37/81)
x = ± √(37)/√(81)
x = ± √37/9
Answer:
31.5 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
If Mel uses all 30 litres of yellow paint, then:
5 / 2 = 30 / x
5x = 60
x = 12
Mel would need 12 litres of blue paint, but she only has 9 litres. So the amount of yellow paint she needs is:
5 / 2 = x / 9
2x = 45
x = 22.5
Mel will use 22.5 litres of yellow paint with 9 litres of blue paint to make a total of 31.5 litres of green paint.
(y^2-y-12)/(y^2-2y-15) factor both the numerator and denominator...
(y^2-4y+3y-12)/(y^2-5y+3y-15)
(y(y-4)+3(y-4))/(y(y-5)+3(y-5))
((y-4)(y+3))/((y-5)(y+3)) so the (y+3) terms cancel leaving
(y-4)/(y-5)
