5/25 = x/100
cross multiply and get 25x = 500
solve for x and get x = 20

Three red rods are 2cm longer than two blue rods. Three blue rods are 2cm longer than four red rods. How long is each rod?

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The length of each red rod is 10 cm and the length of each blue rod is 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of each red rod in centimeters

y ----> the length of each blue rod in centimeters

we know that

$3x=2y+2$ ----> equation A

$3y=4x+2$ ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (10,14)

see the attached figure

therefore

The length of each red rod is 10 cm and the length of each blue rod is 14 cm

A/ab-bsquare + b/ab-asquare?

lord [1]

Answer:

$\dfrac{(a+b)}{ab}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

$\dfrac{a}{ab-b^2}+\dfrac{b}{ab-a^2}$

It can be solved as follows :

$\dfrac{a}{ab-b^2}+\dfrac{b}{ab-a^2}=\dfrac{a}{b(a-b)}+\dfrac{b}{a(b-a)}\\\\=\dfrac{a}{b(a-b)}+\dfrac{b}{-a(-b+a)}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{a-b}(\dfrac{a}{b}-\dfrac{b}{a})\\\\=\dfrac{a^2-b^2}{ab(a-b)}\\\\=\dfrac{(a-b)(a+b)}{ab(a-b)}\\\\=\dfrac{(a+b)}{ab}$

So, the solution of the given expression is equal to $\dfrac{(a+b)}{ab}$ .

At noise pollution cellular,plan A is $30.00 per month and $5.00 for every gigabyte of data . Plan B is $50.00 per month and $2.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Let x be the number of gigabyte of data used.

Plan A:
Total cost = 30 + 5x

Plan B:
Total cost = 50 + 2x

Irfan will use between 5 to 8 gb of data per month.

When x = 5
Plan A = 30 + 5(5) = $55
When x = 8,
Plan A = 30 + 5(8) = $70

When x =5,
Plan B = 50 + 2(5) = $60
When x = 8,
Plan B = 50 + 2(8) = $68

He is probably better off using Plan A. Plan A is a cheaper option up to 7gb of data. He should only swap to Plan B if he consistently use 8gb or more data per month.
