Answer:

one quarter of the total number of students will be those who failed their exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

Three - fourths = those who passed the exam

one quarter will be those who failed their exam

From the total number of the students.

Let's make an example

40 students who take the exam.

3 over 4 students from the total number of 40 take the exam and the result is passed and it mean 30 students passed in the exam.

1 over 4 students take the exam and the result is failed and it mean 10 students failed in the exam.

4 minus 3 over 4 will get the answer 1 over 4.

Use 1 over 4 to multiple with the total number of the students and that how you will get the answer for those who failed in their exam.

What is the solution to the systen of equations y=1/2x+2 and y=-2x-3

Naya [18.7K]

For this case we must solve a system of two equations with two unknowns, given by "x" and "y".

We have:

$y = \frac {1} {2} x + 2 (1)\\y = -2x-3 (2)$

We multiply (2) by -1:

$-y = 2x + 3 (3)$

We add (1) and (3):

$y-y = \frac {1} {2} x + 2x + 2 + 3\\0 = \frac {5} {2} x + 5\\-5 = \frac {5} {2} x$

Clearing x:

$-10 = 5x\\x = \frac {-10} {5}\\x = -2$

We substitute $x = -2$ in (2)

$y = -2 (-2) -3\\y = 4-3\\y = 1$

Thus, the solution of the system is $(x, y) = (- 2,1)$

Answer:

the solution of the system is $(x, y) = (- 2,1)$

The drain in your 45-gallon bathtub is partially clogged, but you need to take a shower. The showerhead had a flow rate of 2.25

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

25 minutes 42 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The tub will fill at the rate of ...

2.25 gal/min - 0.50 gal/min = 1.75 gal/min

It will take ...

45 gal/(1.75 gal/min) ≈ 25.714 min

for the tub to fill.

You can shower for about 25 minutes 42 seconds.
