A. 3

You have to know figure out as many sides as possible before setting up the ratio.

On the short leg the entire leg is equal to 20, and some part of the line is labeled as 12. So you do do 20-12 which would equal to 8. So the shorter part of the short leg equals to 8.

Then you do the long leg. The entire leg equals to 35. Some part of the long leg is labeled as 7x. So you can label the other part of the long leg as 35-7x.

Since you have the numbers for the ratio now, you can do the next steps.

The first step is picking a location and then going any direction.

When I solved it, I started at the top and went down.

8/35-7x=12/7x

Then you cross multiply.

8*7x=56x. 12*35-7x=420-84x

56x=430-84x

Add 84x on both sides

140x=420

Divide 140 in both sides

X=3

-6a÷[3(1-1/2a)-(2/3-3a)-a] a=-1
e-lub [12.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{ - 6a}{(3(1 -  \frac{1}{2} a) - ( \frac{2}{3}  - 3a) - a)a } =  - 1 \\  \frac{ - 6a}{( \frac{3}{2} a  +  \frac{7}{3}a - a)a }  =  - 1 \\  \frac{6a}{ \frac{17}{6} a {}^{2} }  =  1 \\ 6 =  \frac{17}{6} a \\ a =  \frac{(6 \times 6)}{17}  \\ a =  \frac{36}{17}

Which equations show you how to find 16-9
Murljashka [212]
I'm not sure what you're asking but maybe, Anything that when divided = 7. 

21/3 = 7
49/7 = 7

Or you're asking how to find the end result? 16-9=7 ?

The city council is planning a long, narrow park with a playground at one end and a fountain at the other. They want the playgro
ipn [44]

Answer:

The following are some inequalities that represent the possible position of the playground.

2x ≥ -2 and x < -3

x + 3 ≤ 1 and –x > -3

x + 4 ≤ 2 and x + 4 > 7

2x – 1 ≥ -5 and 3x < 9

The city council planning for playground, that is more than 5 blocks from fountain and at least 2 blocks from center of park.

A solid dot on negative two points less than -2 and a circle dot on positive three points in the direction indicating greater than 3. So the right inequality is x + 3 ≤ 1 and –x > -3. That represents the possible position of ground.

Hence, the inequality x + 3 ≤ 1 and –x > -3 is the playground's possible position.
