3 = X/2 + 2
1 = X/2
2 = X
Jan had 2 pencils to start off with. She gave half (1 pencil) to Talia. Her brother gave her 2, which means she ends up with 3.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x = 1/2 (1 +\- i sqrt(23))
Discussion:
x \3x - 2 = (x/3)*x - 2 = (x^2)/3 - 2 (*)
1 \3x - 4 = (1/3)x - 4 (**)
(*) = (**) =>
(x^2)/3 -2 = (1/3)x - 4 => multiply both sides by 3
x^2 - 6 = x - 12 => subtract x from both sides
x^2 -x -6 = -12 => add 12 to both sides
x^2-x +6 = 0
Using the quadratic formula gives:
x = 1/2 (1 +\- i sqrt(23))
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
B. 3.09-3.10-3.2-3.5 is the answer
Answer:
It approximately dropped 0.027777 per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we calculate the decrease.
Decrease = 11/40 = 0.275
Then, we calculate the time interval.
From 10 pm to 7:54 hours will be 9.54 hours
Time interval= (9 + 54/60) hours
Time interval=9.9 hours
Finally, we calculate how much it dropped each hour
0.275/9.9 ≈ 0.027777
So it approximately dropped 0.027777 per hour.
