On a map of a park three inches represents twenty feet. how manyinches would represent 12 feet.

1 answer:

6 0

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{map}{inches}&\stackrel{actual}{feet}\\ \cline{1-2} 3&20\\ x&12 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{3}{x}=\cfrac{20}{12}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 12}{20}=x\implies \cfrac{9}{5}=x\implies 1\frac{4}{5}=x$

Jane multiplies her number by three and subtracts 2.

katrin [286]

Answer:

Let the number they chose be 'x'.

Result of Jane = $3x -2$

Result of Elliot = $2x+3$

Given that,

The product of their result = 110

$or, (3x-2)(2x+3) = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +9x-4x-6 = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 6 = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 6-110 = 0\\\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 116 = 0\\or, 6x^{2} +29x - 24x - 116 = 0\\or, x (6x +29) -4(6x+29) = 0\\or, (x-4)(6x+29) = 0\\i.e. x=4 or x=\frac{-29}{6} \\So,~ the ~number ~they~ chose~was ~either ~4 ~or ~\frac{-29}{6}$
