Answer:
225 minutes or 3 hours and 45 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
45 (minutes per day) times 5 (days in a school week) = 225 minutes
or add 45 (minutes per day)+ 45+45+45+45 = 225
To get the hours:
Divide 225 by 60 (minutes per hour) and it is 3 - remainder 45.
First we need to factor the left side. Since it is a perfect square (as is the process with completing the square, we know we can take half of the middle number along with x to be in the two parenthesis.
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 25
Now we simplify to show it as a square.
(x - 4)^2 = 25
Next we take the square root of both sides
x - 4 = +/- 5
Note that we have plus or minus 5. This is because either square would give us positive 25. Now we add 4 to both sides
x = 4 +/- 5
4 + 5 = 9
4 - 5 = -1
Answer:
x = 2/9 (or = 0.222)
Step-by-step explanation:
1/x + 1/(3x) =6 (multiply both sides by 3x)
(1/x) (3x) + [1/(3x)](3x) =6 (3x)
3 + 1 = 18x
4 = 18x
x = 4/18
x = 2/9 (or = 0.222)
