Number of books each of them have:
Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)
There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24 / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200 / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40
Doublecheck:
Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102
102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)
Let length of the hypotenuse = 3x and length of given leg be x feet.
then (3x)^2 = x^2 + 648
8x^2 = 648
x^2 = 81
so x = 9 and 3x = 27
Hypotenuse is 27 feet and the leg equals 9 feet.
Answer:
25/30
5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Which fraction is it out of all of these 6/14,5/8,25/30,or 3/6?
to determine which fractions are greater than 1/2, convert the fractions to decimals
to convert to decimals, divide the numerator by the denominator
1/2 = 0.5 less than half
6/14 = 0.43 less than half
5/8 = 0.625 greater than half
25 / 30 = 0.83 greater than half
3 / 6 = 0.5 equal to half
Answer:
<h3>#1</h3>
<u>The system of equations:</u>
- 2x + 7y = -11
- 3x + 5y = -22
Solve by elimination.
<u>Triple the first equation, double the second one, subtract the second from the first and solve for y:</u>
- 3(2x + 7y) - 2(3x + 5y) = 3(-11) - 2(-22)
- 6x + 21y - 6x - 10y = -33 + 44
- 11y = 11
- y = 1
<u>Find x:</u>
- 2x + 7*1 = -11
- 2x = -11 - 7
- 2x = -18
- x = -9
<u>The solution is:</u>
<h3>#2</h3>
<u>Simplifying in steps:</u>
- 8u - 29 > -3(3 - 4u)
- 8u - 29 > - 9 + 12u
- 12u - 8u < -29 + 9
- 4u < -20
- u < -5
Answer:
5/8, 5:8, or 5 to 8
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to simplify the ratio so you have to figure out what 40 and 64 have in common. tho right away you can assume that they both have 2 in common bcz they are both even so you can divide them both by two and get 20/32, and then you can do it again bcz they are both even again and get 10/16, and then you can do it again bcz they are also both even and get 5/8. now 5 is a prime number so you cant divide it any further so you stop it there. and i put three answers bcz there are three ways to write a ratio
