We set up a proportion: 12/200= ?/100
Cross multiply:
200*?= 12*100
⇒ ?= 12*100/200= 6
12 is 6% of 200~
3x-y=6
y=x-4
solve by substitution
3x-x+4=6
2x=2
x=1
Now that you know x, but in in the equation to find y (either equation will work)
y= 1-4
y= -3
now that you have both answers, let's check them.
3(-1) - (-3) =6
yes, it works....
Hopefully this makes sense!
Q + d = x the amount of q and d equal the total cents in coins in the jar
4x² - (2x + 3)²
4x² - (2x + 3)(2x + 3)
4x² - (2x(2x + 3) + 3(2x + 3))
4x² - (2x(2x) + 2x(3) + 3(2x) + 3(3))
4x² - (4x² + 6x + 6x + 9)
4x² - (4x² + 12x + 9)
4x² - 4x² - 12x - 9
-12x - 9
-3(4x) - 3(3)
-3(4x + 3)
Steps
find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators (which is called the Least Common Denominator).
Change each fraction (using equivalent fractions) to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator.
Then add (or subtract) the fractions, as we wish!
your denominators stay the same so its 20
