Ratio of men : women = 3 : 5

-

<u>Find total parts:</u>

3 + 5 = 8

-

<u>Find 1 part:</u>

5 parts = 140

1 part = 140 ÷ 5 = 28

-

<u>Find 8 parts (total):</u>

8 parts = 28 x 8 = 224

-

Use completing the aquare to solve for x in the equation (x+7)(x-9)=25​
Tema [17]

Answer:

x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x = 1 - sqrt(89)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(x - 9) (x + 7) = 25

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x^2 - 2 x - 63 = 25

Add 63 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x = 88

Add 1 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x + 1 = 89

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 1)^2 = 89

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 1 = sqrt(89) or x - 1 = -sqrt(89)

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x - 1 = -sqrt(89)

Add 1 to both sides:

Answer: x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x = 1 - sqrt(89)

11/98 x 2/99 = ???????
Nutka1998 [239]
All we have to do is multiply the numerator by the other numerator and the denominator by the other denominator.
11•2=22
98•99=9702
They are both even, so we can divide by two with both numbers.
11/4851
4851 can be divided by 11. So we can divide the top and bottom by 11.
1/441 is the product.

Of the 25 fish that Karl caught
otez555 [7]

Answer:

1,820 trout

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is the number of trout in the lake:

\frac{7}{25} = \frac{x}{6,500}

Cross multiply and solve for x:

25x = 45,500

x = 1820

So, you could expect 1,820 trout to be in the lake.

If a+b=2 find the value of a3+b3+6ab
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the sum of cubes

a³ + b³ = (a+b)(a² - ab +b²)

= 2a² - 2ab + 2b²

a³ + b³ + 6ab = 2a² + 4ab + 2b²

= 2(a² + 2ab +b²)

= 2(a+b)²

= 8
