We have,

x+y:x-y=3:2

To prove that, x+ y : x - y = 3:2.

x+y=3

And,

x+y = 2

Adding (1) and (2), we get

x+y+x-y=3+2

⇒2x=5

⇒ x =

Put x = in (1), we get

+y=3

⇒ y=3-=

x+y:x-y=

=3:2

So, x+y:x-y=3:2.

A nontoxic furniture polish can be made by combining vinegar and olive oil. The amount of oil should be three times the amount o

DENIUS [597]

To answer this question you will use ratios. The information given gives us a part to part ratio of 1 part vinegar for every 3 parts oil.

Because the total amount of furniture polish is 30 ounces, we will need to write one part vinegar to three parts oil as a part to part to whole ratio.

Use this information then and create an equivalent ratio with a total of 30 ounces. See below.

1 vinegar (x7.5) = 7.5 ounces
3 oil. (X7.5). = 22.5 ounces
4 total (x7.5). = 30 ounces

You will need 7.5 ounces of vinegar and a 22.5 ounces of oil.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

2√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that for a right triangle, if the two legs are the same length "x", then the hypotenuse will always be "x√2"

Here each leg has a length of 2, so the hypotenuse is equal to 2√2
