Abigail: x

Jake: 3/4x

---

Make their expressions add up to 140 in an equation.

(x) + (3/4x) = 140

Combine like terms.

1 3/4x = 140

Divide both sides by 1 3/4.

x = 80

Plug 80 for x into Jake and Abigail's expressions.

Jake: 3/4(80) = 60

Abigail: (80) = 80

---

Jake earned $60 and Abigail earned $80.

Let's represent Jake with the variable 'j' and Abigail with the variable 'a':

j = 3a/4

j + a = 140

j = -a + 140

3a/4 = -a + 140

3a = -4a + 560

7a = 560

a = 80

Abigail earned $80 and Jake earned $60

Based on the ratios shown ion the double number line, what is the cost for 5 pounds of almonds? :)
denis-greek [22]
I found the answer to this by first dividing 34 by 4 to get 8.5. We already know what 4 divided by 4 is. For every one pound of almonds, it costs $8.50. Since we know that we need to find out how much it costs for 5 pounds of almonds, we simply multiply 8.5 by 5 to get 42.5. It costs $42.50 to buy 5 pounds of almonds.

Factor completely x3 – 3x2 - 9x + 27
lakkis [162]

Answer:

x³ - 3x² - 9x + 27

= x²(x - 3) - 9(x - 3)

= (x² - 9)(x - 3)

= (x -3)(x + 3)(x - 3)

= (x + 3)(x - 3)²
