Answer: See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete but let's reframe it as:

A yard has a perimeter of 168 feet. If four times the length of the yard equals seventeen times the width, what are its dimensions?

Therefore, 2L + 2W = 168 ....... i

4L = 17W ........ ii.

From equation ii,

L = 17W/4 ........ iii

We would then slot the value of L into equation i

2L + 2W = 168

2(17W/4) + 2W = 168

17W/2 + 2W = 168

17W + 4W = 336

21W = 336

W = 336/21

W = 16

Since L = 17W/4

L = (17 × 16)/4

L = 68

The dimensions are 16 feet and 68 feet

-6X=6

X=-1

but because length can't be negative X=1

√4 + √16 = 2 + 4 = 6 <--- rational
√5 + √36 = √5 + 6 <--- irrational
√9 + √24 = 3 + √24 <--- irrational
2 * √4 = 2 * 2 = 4 <--- rational
√49 * √81 = 7 * 9 = 63 <---rational
3√12 = 3√(4 * 3) = (3 * 2)√3 = 6√3 <---irrational

Hope this helps ^-^

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 250 \ people}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup.

$\frac {buses}{people}=\frac {buses}{people}$

We know 30 buses can carry 1,500 people.

$\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {buses}{people}$

We don't know how many people 5 buses can carry, so we say 5 buses carry x people.

$\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {5 \ buses}{x \ people}$

$\frac {30 }{1500 }=\frac {5 }{x }$

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the second fraction's denominator. Then, multiply the first denominator by the second numerator.

$30*x=1500*5\\30x=7500$

Solve for x. It is being multiplied by 30. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 30.

$30x/30=7500\\x=250$

5 buses can carry 250 people.
