Well first you find the common denominatior of 1/7 and 4/9 which is 63 so then you see how many times does 7 go into 63 so this is part where you multiply 7 and 9 which gives you 63 and then you do how many times 9 go into 63 which is 7 so then you will take 7 times the 4 which is 28 so now your fractions should be 9/63 and 28/63 then now your next step is to add the 9 and 28 which is now 37/63 and you ask yourself and you divide that by any number to get a smaller number which is no so that is your answer
Answer: X = (
, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
x(4x - 19) = 30
4x^2 - 19x = 30
4x^2 - 19x - 30 = 0
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
= 
= 6
=
= 
= -1.25
X = (, 6)
Answer: b
Step-by-step explanation: b
To solve this problem, let's set up a proportion, letting x represent the unknown number of gallons the faucet loses in 48 hours.
5 gallons / 20 hours = x gallons / 48 hours
To solve this proportion, we are going to use cross-products. This is the products of numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other fraction set equal to one another. It results in the equation:
5 * 48 = 20 * x
Next we simplify by performing the operations.
240 = 20x
Finally, we divide both sides by 20 to get x alone on the right side of the equation.
12=x
Therefore, 12 gallons of water will be lost in 48 hours.
