Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector divides the sides proportionally.
(x -4)/9 = x/12
4(x -4) = 3x . . . . . . . multiply by 36
x = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 16-3x to both sides, simplify
The quotient of two fraction is the multiplication between the first and the inverse of the second:
So, in your case, you have
So, the question now is: which is larger, 7/10 or 3/5? To answer this question, transform the second fraction so that it will have denominator 10 as well:
So, now it is clear that
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation has two unknowns - the total number of half dollars and the total number of quarters. Because we have two unknowns, we will write a system of equations with two equations using the two unknowns.
- h+q=31 is an equation representing the total number of coins
- 0.50h+0.25q=11 is an equation representing the total value in money based on the number of coin. 0.50 and 0.25 come from the value of a half dollar and quarter individually.
We write the first equation in terms of q by subtracting it across the equal sign to get h=31-q. We now substitute this for h in the second equation.
0.50(31-q)+0.25q=11
15.5-0.50q+0.25q=11
15.5-0.25q=11
After simplifying, we subtract 15.5 across and divide by the coefficient of q.
-0.25q=-4.5
q=4
We now know of the 31 coins that 4 are quarters.
5x+2y=7
7x-2y=5 its subtract not add
Answer:
just put the 35 not increase
