In order to figure out whether Luis or Isabella skates farther to get to school, we have to create a common denominator between the two fractions that represent the distance that each person walks.
The least common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12. This means that we have to change both fractions into equal fractions with denominators of 12.
To figure this out, we must set up a proportion.
2/3 = x/12
To solve this proportion, we must cross-multiply the fractions. We get:
24 = 3x
If we divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3, to get the variable x alone, we get:
x = 8
Therefore, 2/3 = 8/12, so Luis skates 8/12 mile from his home to school.
If we do the same process for the 2/4 mile to get to school for Isabella, we get 6/12, because both fractions are equal to 1/2.
Therefore, we know that Luis skates 8/12 mile to school and Isabella skates 6/12 mile to get to school. Because they have the same denominator, we can just compare the numerators. We know that 8 is greater than 6, thus Luis skates farther to get to school.
Answer:
∠ EBF = 98°
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x - 15) and (2x + 10) are vertically opposite angles and are congruent, then
3x - 15 = 2x + 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
x - 15 = 10 ( add 15 to both sides )
x = 25
3x - 15 = 3(25) - 15 = 75 - 15 = 60°
The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.
∠ EBF is an exterior angle of the triangle , then
∠ EBF = 60° + 38° = 98°
Answer:
y = amount saved in dollars
x = months
Since the student already has $20 dollars saved (20) and plans to save $10 per month (10x), the equation so far is y = 20 + 10x.
You can use this to solve questions based of the equation/situation by filling in any numbers you are given where the variables are.
Hope this helps! :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: 3root5x^2 + 25x - 10root5 = 0
3xroot5 + 25x - 10root5 = 0 [ root x^2 = x]
28x root5 = 10 root5 [ -10root5 turns to 10 root5 when transferred to RHS]
28x root 5/root5 =10
28x=10
x = 10/28
x = 0.35
