Let x and y be the 2 parts of 15 ==> x + y=15 (given)
Reciprocal of x and y ==> 1/x +1/y ==> 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 (given)
Let's solve 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 . Common denominator = 10.x.y (reduce to same denominator)
==> (10y+10x)/10xy = 3xy/10xy ==> 10x+10y =3xy
But x+y = 15 , then 10x+10y =150 ==> 150=3xy and xy = 50
Now we have the sum S of the 2 parts that is S = 15 and
their Product = xy =50
Let's use the quadratic equation for S and P==> X² -SX +P =0
Or X² - 15X + 50=0, Solve for X & you will find:
The 1st part of 15 is 10 & the 2nd part is 5
Answer:
P.7500.00
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that:
The ratio of Val's savings to Dan is 2:3 at first.
Now, Dan spent P3000.00 and Val's saving became 1⅓ more of that Dan's remaining savings.
Let's say the total amount of savings they had at first was x.
Thus;
Val had: 2x/5
Dan had: 3x/5
Now, Dan spent P3000.00.
So amount Dan has left = (3x/5) - 3000
We are told Val's savings is now 1⅓ = 4/3 times that of Dan's remaining savings
Thus; 2x/5 = (4/3)((3x/5) - 3000)
2x/5 = 12x/15 - 4000
Multiply through by 15 to get;
6x = 12x - (3000 × 15)
6x = 12x - 45000
Rearranging, we have;
12x - 6x = 45000
6x = 45000
x = 45000/6
x = P.7500
Answer:
b = -57/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first distribute everything out:
-8(1 + 5b) = -8 * 1 + (-8) * 5b = -8 - 40b
2(86 - 1) = 2 * 85 = 170
So, we have:
-8 - 40b - 170 = 50
-40b - 178 = 50
-40b = 50 + 178 = 228
b = -228/40 = -57/10
Thus, the answer is b = -57/10.
Hope this helps!

If she puts one pepper hot pepper in every basket she can make a total of 36 baskets
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
y = (-2/5)x + 1
By inspection of the equation, the slope of the line is -2/5 and the y-intercept is 1.
Therefore, we can immediately discount option B and D, as their y-intercepts are NOT 1.
Find the point where the line crosses the x-axis by setting the equation to 0 and solving for x:
0 = (-2/5)x + 1
⇒ -1 = (-2/5)x
⇒ -5 = -2x
⇒ x = 5/2
Therefore, the line of the function intersects the x-axis at x = 5/2 = 2.5
From inspection of the graphs, the line in option A intersects the x-axis at 2.5. Therefore, this is the correct graph.
