Scale it down by dividing by 3.
30 / 3 = 10 in. 1 in. for margin remains from 11in.
22.5 / 3 = 7.5 and 1in.remains for margin from 8.5 in.
Answer:
3.75 or 15/4
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+5=35
Subtract 5 from the left side to cancel it out, do the same thing to 35.
8x=30
Divide 8x by 8 to get x alone, do the same thing to 30.
x=3.75, or once you simplify 30/8, you get 15/4.
Answer:
5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/7 x 1/3
= 15/7 × 1/3
= 15 × 1/7 × 3
= 15/21
= 15 ÷ 3/21 ÷ 3
= 5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
x = one odd number
the second odd number is (x+2), as both are consecutive.
so,
x × (x + 2) = 195
x² + 2x = 195
x² + 2x - 195 = 0
the formula to solve this is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
in our case
a = 1
b = 2
c = -195
x = (-2 ± sqrt(4 - 4×1×-195))/(2×1) =
= (-2 ± sqrt(4 + 4×195))/2 = (-2 ± sqrt(784))/2 =
= (-2 ± 28)/2 = -1 ± 14
x1 = -1 + 14 = 13
x2 = -1 - 14 = -15 which is invalid as the numbers are positive.
so, the two numbers are 13 and 15.
