Answer:
This is an algebraic expression
Step-by-step explanation:
U won't ever use t to mean multiplication u will use a . Or × or a letter next to a number to symbolise mutiplication
Let the numbers be x and y. Then xy = -30 and x+y = -3.
Solve xy = -30 for y: y = -30/x
subst. -30/x for y in x+y= -3: x - 30/x = -3
Multiply all 3 terms by x: x^2 - 30 = -3x, so x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0
Solve this quadratic equation for x. x: {-5, 2}
If x = -5, then x+y = -3 becomes -5 + y = -3, and y = 2.
You should check to determine whether x=2 is also correct. If it is, what is the corresponding y value?
Answer:
Number of cats is (5/9)(63) = 35, and number of dogs is (4/9)(63) = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
The given ratio is 5 to 4. Sum these up, obtaining 9. Then (5/9) of the whole represents the number of cats, and (4/9) of the whole represents the number of dogs.
Number of cats is (5/9)(63) = 35, and
number of dogs is (4/9)(63) = 28
As a check: 35 + 28 = 63.
If the perimeter is 98 cm, the sum of the lengths of two adjacent sides is 49 cm.
... (2x -1) + (3x +5) = 49 . . . . use the given information and relation
... 5x +4 = 49 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
... 5x = 45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4
... x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
The left side dimension is then
... 2x -1 = 2·9 -1 = 17 . . . . cm
The top dimension is
... 3x +5 = 3·9 +5 = 32 . . . . cm
The rectangle is 17 cm by 32 cm.
Hey there!
For Part A, because the amount earned on Sunday isn't specified, we can call this additional income x. Because we're writing an expression, we don't need an equal sign. The expression will be (x + 14).
For Part B, "2 less than" will mean "– 2" and "twice than" will mean the amount of dogs that Alicia walked times 2. We can call the amount that Alicia walked y to avoid confusion with the last expression (though you could use whatever variable here) and your expression will be (2y – 2).
Hope this helped you out! :-)
