Hi there!

\large\boxed{b = \frac{a}{ac - 1}}

We can begin by making each fraction have a common denominator:

If we make each have a common denominator of ab, we get:

\frac{b}{ab} + \frac{a}{ab} = c

Simplify:

\frac{a + b}{ab}  = c

Multiply both sides by ab:

a + b = cab

Move b to the opposite side:

a = cab - b

Factor out b:

a = b(ac - 1)

Divide by (ac - 1):

\frac{a}{ac - 1} = b

Karen is making a set of costumes for the school play using a piece of cloth. She reduces the length of the cloth she intends to
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The new length is 13.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the new length of the cloth she wants to use

What we know from the question is that she is making a reduction of 10% from an initial of 15 meters

Thus, the length she is to use can be calculated by first getting what 10% of 15 meters is

Mathematically, that would be ;

10/100 * 15 = 1.5 meters

We now subtract this from the total of 15 meters

= 15 meters - 1.5 meters = 13.5 meters

I have 10 goats, n of which are male. I need to choose 2 of them to make a casserole.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: There are 4 male goats.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that n of the 10 goats are male.

The probability that in a random selection, the selected goat is a male, is equal to the quotient between the number of male goats (n) and the total number of goats (10)

The probability is;

p = n/10

Now the total number of goats is 9, and the number of male goats is n -1

then the probability of selecting a male goat again is:

q = (n-1)/9

The joint probability (the probability that the two selected goats are male) is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, this is

P = p*q = (n/10)*((n-1)/9)

And we know that this probability is equal to 2/15

Then we have:

(n/10)*((n-1)/9) = 2/15

(n*(n-1))/90 = 2/15

n*(n-1) = 90*2/15 = 12

n^2 - n = 12

n^2 - n - 12  = 0

This is a quadratic equation, we can find the solutions if we use Bhaskara's formula:

For an equation:

a*x^2  + b*x + c =  0

The two solutions are given by:

x = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2*a}

For our case, the solutions will be:

n = \frac{1 +- \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4*1*(-12)} }{2*1 } = \frac{1+- 7}{2}

The two solutions are:

n = (1 - 7)/2 = -3    (this solution does not make sense, we can not have a negative number of goats)

The other solution is:

n = (1 + 7)/2 = 4

This solution does make sense, this means that we have 4 male goats.

How do you solve quadratic equations?
masha68 [24]
In any equation there is a variable (usually x). In a quadratic equation there is a lot involved.

-B (+or-) sqrt of b^2 - 4 x A x C
________________________  divide it by
               2 x A
                                                   There is usually an original equation that looks like:  Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0    Use the variables from the equation to the left to fill the upper equation.  (You can also look up a better formula if confused).
