Answer:

x = \frac{5}{2} , y = \frac{27}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate the first 2 parts of the ratios on both sides of the equation and solve for x.

Expressing the ratios in fractional form, then

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{\frac{15}{4} }{\frac{9}{2} } = \frac{15}{4} × \frac{2}{9} = \frac{5}{6} ( cross- multiply )

6x = 15 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = \frac{15}{6} = \frac{5}{2}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Equate the last 2 parts of the ratios on both sides and solve for y

\frac{\frac{9}{2} }{y} = \frac{3}{\frac{9}{2} } = 3 × \frac{2}{9} = \frac{2}{3} ( cross- multiply )

2y = \frac{9}{2} × 3 = \frac{27}{2} ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = \frac{27}{4}

Sylvia has a total of 16 trading cards: 8 superhero cards, 4 princess cards,2 villain cards, and 2 wildlife cards. what is the r
balu736 [363]
There as 16 cards, 2 of which are wildlife cards, so the ratio is 16 : 2. We can simplify it by dividing both sides by 2, so we'll get the ratio of 8 : 1.

I hope this helps! :)

PLEASE HELP 100 POINTS GUARANTEED! PLEASE PUT THE ANSWER IN AN ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION!!! ANSWER ALL AND YOU WILL RECEIVE BRAINLIES
zlopas [31]

Answer:

1.

-2 = x/4 + 1

Subtract 1 from both sides:

-2 - 1 = x/4 + 1 - 1

-3 = x/4

Multiply both sides by 4:

-3 * 4 = x/4 * 4

-12 = x

2.

3x+5

3.

X= 12 or 18

This could be read two different ways.

0=2/3x-12

12=2/3x

12÷2/3=x

12*3/2=x

18=x

—-OR—-

0=2/3(x-12)

0=2/3x-8

8=2/3x

8÷2/3=x

8*3/2=x

12=x

If y= (2x^2+x)^3 +(x-1) /(1-x). find dy dx​
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=(2x²+x)³+(x-1)/(1-x)

=(2x²+x)³+(x-1)/-(x-1)

=(2x²+x)³-1

dy/dx=3(2x²+x)(4x+1)-0

=3x(2x+1)(4x+1)
