First set up an equation as your approach. I will use the equation x+4x=24 because that way you are saying that something pluse itself times 4 equals 24 which is what you want.
simplify the equation
5x=24
x=24/5
So you know onw piece will be 24/5 of a foot and the ither qould be that times 4 so 96/24 of a foot. In decimals it would be 4.8 and 19.2
Answer:
if the temperature was at 15 and dropped to zero the amount it changed would be is -15. The integer is -15 because an integer is a whole number and it can also be a negative or positive number it just can not be a fraction
Divide both sides by 5, and the result is: x=30.
X is 30.
The equation would be 4y=5x 4(x+15)=5x x+15=y
let x be the amount that Shelia deposits each time
let y represent the amount that Sherri deposits each time
4(x+15)=5x
4x+60=5x
-4x -4x
60=x
Check:
x+15=y 60+15=y y=75
4(75)=5(60)
300=300
Shelia deposits $60 each time.
9k2-12k+4
(k2-6k)+(-6k+4) factor out the 3k from 9k2 0 6k: 3k(k-2) factor out -2 from -6k +4n: -2 (3k-2) factor out common term (3k-2) = (3k-2 ) (3k-2) that equals (3k-2)2
