Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Each ratio is irreducible, and they are different. Hence they are not the same value, so cannot be a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios.
5 : 3 = 40 : 24
13 : 8 = 39 : 24 . . . . not the same as 40 : 24
_____
<em>Examples of proportions</em>
5/3 = 40/24 . . . is a proportion
13/8 = 39/24 . . . is a proportion
If a solution(s) exists y=y so we can say:
x^2-3x=-2x+2 add 2x to both sides
x^2-x=2 subtract 2 from both sides
x^2-x-2=0 factor
(x-2)(x+1)=0
So x=-1 and 2, using y=-2x+2 we find:
y(-1)=4 and y(2)=-2
So the two solutions occur at the points:
(-1,4) and (2,-2)
Answer:
9 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by writing an equation.
The total bill is 134.03. The bill is totally paid by Marcus and the other guests. This will go on the other side of the equation.
Since we don't know how many guests there were, we can use variable x to represent the value that we're trying to find.
So here is our equation.
134.04 = 20.45 + 12.62x
Now, just solve for x, or isolate x.
Subtract 20.45 from both sides.
134.04 - 20.45 = 12.62x
Divide both sides by 12.62.
113.59/12.62 = x
Simplify.
x = 9
Since x is 9, we know that there were 9 other people at the dinner party.
