<span>Twice the sum of a number and 3 = 2(n + 3)
</span><span>three times the difference of the number and 3 = 3(n - 3)
so
</span><span>Twice the sum of a number and 3 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 3:
</span>2(n + 3) = 3(n - 3)
2n + 6 = 3n - 9
n = 15
answer
2(n + 3) = 3(n - 3)
n = 15
Answer:
About 20.8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
TO solve this just think of it as a ratio. The number of potatoes goes on top and the time goes on bottom.
48
__
10
That is what the first one would look like. In the second one we know the number of potatoes but we are trying to find the time (x).
100
___
x
Take these two ratios and set them equal to each other.
Next you cross multiply (take 48 times x and 100 times 10).
48x=1000 Now divide by 48 and you have your answer.
About 20.8 minutes
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (-4, 0) and a directrix at x = 4.
X=6y
sum of their reciprocals
(1/x)+(1/y)=7
x=6y
1/6y+1/y=7
1/6y+6/6y=7
7/6y=7
times both sides by 6y
7=42y
divide both sides by 42
1/6=y
x=6y
x=6(1/6)
x=6/6
x=1
the numbers are 1 and 1/6
