<em>First, find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator.</em>
<u>Factors of 18</u>: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
<u>Factors of 24</u>: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
<u>Common Factors</u>: 1, 2, 3, 6
<u>GCF</u>: 6
<em>Now, divide the numerator by 6 and the denominator by 6.</em>
18 ÷ 6 = 3
24 ÷ 6 = 4
<em>Set these as your new numerator and denominator.</em>
The answer is (b).
First square both sides to get:
c + 22 = (c + 2)^2
or
c + 22 = c^2 + 4c + 4
Move the terms on the left side to the right side:
c^2 + 3c - 18 = 0
Factor to get:
(c + 6) * (c - 3) = 0.
The solutions are c = -6 and c = 3.
Check to see if these answers work by plugging them into the original equation:
c = -6:
sqrt (-6 + 22) ?= -6 + 2
But, -6 + 2 is a negative number, and you can't get a negative from a square root. So, -6 is extraneous.
c = 3:
sqrt (3 + 22) ?= 3 + 2
5 = 5. So, 3 works.
The answer is: B
Answer:
38.25 packages
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of guests = 459
Each guest gets 1 muffin
Muffin comes in packages of 12
Hence,
The number of packages is calculated as:
459/12 = 38.25 packages
Hence, 38.25 packages are needed so there are enough muffins for every guest.
Answer: 98
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 40
x>y
(11/2)y - (13/4)*x = - 25
x = 40 - y
(11/2)y - (13/4)(40-y) = - 25 multiply by 4
22y - 13( 40 - y) = - 100
22y - 520 + 13y = -400 Add 520
35y = 120
y = 120 / 35
y = 3 3/7
x = 40 - y
x = 36 4/7
