For proportions and to find x we have to cross multiply
8 × (x) = 3 × 2.4
8x = 7.2
Divide by 8 to isolate x
8 and 8 cancels out
x = 0.9
Answer:
420
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 1.4688 x 10^6
Step-by-step explanation: Number has to be in between 1 and 10. Moved the decimal 6 places so that is your exponent
Answer:
To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.
Once you have simplified the expression, you get
-x-9/2x-4
But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write
x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4
So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.
