Answer:

x= - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fractions. you should then get:

2x-4x=x+24

then get all the x terms to one side by subtracting by x on each side:

2x-4x-x=24

then simplify:

-3x=24

divide by -3 on each side:

x= - 8

Francis works at Carlos Bakery and is making cookie trays. She has 48 chocolate chip cookies, 64 rainbow cookies, and 120 oatmea

The number of cookies and trays are illustrations of greatest common factors.

The number of trays is 8
6 chocolate chips, 8 rainbows and 15 oatmeal cookies would fit each tray

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{Chocolate\ chip=48}$

$\mathbf{Rainbow=64}$

$\mathbf{Oatmeal=120}$

<u>(a) The number of trays</u>

To do this, we simply calculate the greatest common factor of 48, 64 and 120

Factorize the numbers, as follows:

$\mathbf{48 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3}$

$\mathbf{64 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2}$

$\mathbf{120 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5}$

So, the GCF is:

$\mathbf{GCF= 2 \times 2 \times 2}$

$\mathbf{GCF= 8}$

Hence, the number of tray is 8

<u>(b) The number of each type of cookie</u>

We have

$\mathbf{Chocolate\ chip=48}$

$\mathbf{Rainbow=64}$

$\mathbf{Oatmeal=120}$

Divide each cookie by the number of trays

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Chocolate\ chip = \frac{48}{8} = 6}$

$\mathbf{Rainbow = \frac{64}{8} = 8}$

$\mathbf{Oatmeal = \frac{150}{8} = 15}$

Hence, 6 chocolate chips, 8 rainbows and 15 oatmeal cookies would fit each tray

Answer:

x = 135

Step-by-step explanation:

The three triangles are similar.

144/y = y/81

y^2 = 144 * 81

y = 12 * 9

y = 108

81^ + 108^2 = x^2

x^2 = 18225

x = 135
