Let x be the first jug, y the second jug.
From first statement, subtracting 1 from x, makes them equal:
x - 1 = y
From second statement, subtracting 2 from y, makes it half of x:
x/2 = y-2
Solve system with substitution:
x/2 = (x-1) -2
x/2 = x - 3
x- x/2 = 3
x/2 = 3
x = 6
y = x-1 = 6-1 = 5
Therefore the largest jug contains 6 liters.
Answer:
51
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 51 because since it is a 90 degree angle,you have to subtract 24+7 from 90 and that's your answer.
It would be C, because the ratio 2/5 (the ratio of giraffes to monkeys) is equal to 4/10 (answer choice C)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To work out this question you have to first cross multiply.
When you cross multiply you will get the equation above. Therefore
Therefore
The answer is x^2 - 4x +4. What I did was set it up as a ratio, FOILing out the two denominators on the left to get (x-5)?/(x^2 - 7x + 10) = (x+1)/1. Next I cross-multiplied to get (x-5)? = (x+1)(x^2 - 7x + 10). Next I FOILed out the right side to get (x-5)? = x^3 - 9x^2 + 24x - 20. Now I have an equation just like 3x=9, for example, where I divide both sides by 3 to find x. Instead, since we have polynomials, we have to use long division. Divide the x^3 term by x-5 and you'll get it.
