The odds against picking an i are 5:3, since there are 5 letters that are not i and 3 letters that are.
Answer:
x = 2/5 or x = -2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x - 2
z = 2y = 2(x - 2) = 2x - 4
4x² = (3y - 5z ÷ 4)²
Substitute y with x - 2. Substitute z with 2x - 4.
4x² = [3(x - 2) - 5(2x - 4) ÷ 4]²
16 * 4x² = [3(x - 2) * 4 - 5(2x - 4) ÷ 4 * 4]²
64x² = [12(x - 2) - 5(2x - 4)]²
64x² = (12x - 24 - 10x + 20)²
64x² = (2x - 4)²
64x² = 4x² - 16x + 16
60x² + 16x - 16 = 0
15x² + 4x - 4 = 0
ac = 15 * (-4) = -60
-6 * 10 = -60
-6 + 10 = 4
15x² - 6x + 10x - 4 = 0
(15x² - 6x) + (10x - 4) = 0
3x(5x - 2) + 2(5x - 2) = 0
(5x - 2)(3x + 2) = 0
5x - 2 = 0 or 3x + 2 = 0
5x = 2 or 3x = -2
x = 2/5 or x = -2/3
In order to do this, we multiply both sides be the amount that would make the left side equal to 1. This number is the reciprocal of the fraction, so we multiply both sides by 3/2. This is equal to:
w = 9/8
So, the blueberries in crystal's basket will weigh 9/8 pounds when it is full.
