Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6/4=(6-1)/(4-x)
6/4=5/(4-x)
6(4-x)=4(5)
24-6x=20
-6x=-4
x=4/6
x=2/3
2/3 of an inch should be cut off the width.
The park is a total of 3+3 = 6 miles east of the mall, and 4+5=9 miles north of it. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the straight-line distance in miles is
√(6² +9²) = √117 ≈ 10.8
Answer:
Pears: 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Constant:
3x + 5x + 2x = 150
10x = 150
x = 15
Multiply ratio with constant from above:
oranges : apples
3 * 15 : 5 * 15
45 : 75 ==> 45 oranges: 75 apples
pears : apples
2 * 15 : 5 * 15
30 : 75 ==> 30 pears: 75 apples
Check:
45 oranges + 75 apples + 30 pears = 150 fruits
Answer:
9(x + 2) = x - 6
9x+18=x-6
9x-x=-18-6
8x=-24
x=-24/8=-3 is your answer
This is false, -5(3e-2) is not less than -2(6e+7)
