Final result : -3
Step by step solution :Step 1 : 3 - a Simplify ————— 21 Equation at the end of step 1 : (a - 3) (3 - a) ——————— ÷ ——————— 7 21 Step 2 : a - 3 Simplify ————— 7 Equation at the end of step 2 : (a - 3) (3 - a) ——————— ÷ ——————— 7 21 Step 3 : a-3 3-a Divide ——— by ——— 7 21
3.1 Dividing fractions
To divide fractions, write the divison as multiplication by the reciprocal of the divisor :
a - 3 3 - a a - 3 21 ————— ÷ ————— = ————— • ——————— 7 21 7 (3 - a)
3.2 Rewrite (3-a) as (-1) • (a-3) Canceling Out : 3.3 Cancel out (a-3) which now appears on both sides of the fraction line.
Final result : -3
Irrational roots occurs with its conjugate.
Therefore, -√3 is also root of the function.
The answer is -√3.
Steps to solve:
47.5 + 4.5x ≤ 65
~Subtract 47.5 to both sides
4.5x ≤ 17.5
~Divide 4.5 to both sides
x ≤ 3.8888888889...
So, yes, the friends will have to share snacks.
Best of Luck!
They both weigh the same........ 1lb = 16 oz :D
