We can bring the ratios to a similar form, because 2:5 is the same as 4:10 (we can mupltiply rations by the same number)
so one ratio is 4:10 and the other is 4:15 and the difference is is 75 beads
in this ratio, we can see each number corresponding to a "unit" of beads: that means that what changed is that Patricia now has 5 more such groups (15-10=5), and since she has 75 beads more each unit must be 75/5=15.
so afterwards (and before) Karen had 4 such units, that is 60, and Patricia before had 10 such units, that is 150.
If we subtract the 2 equations we eliminate x:-
x - x - 2y - (-y) = -26--2
-y = -24
y = 24
Plug this into the first equation:-
x - 2(24) = -26
x = -26 + 48 = 22
Answer is x = 22 and y = 24
Answer:
it was X =5
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>The general form of quadratic equation with real
coefficients and leading coefficient 1, has x = -bi as a root
=> x = <u>-b + </u></span><u>√ b^2 – 4 ac</u><span>
2a
It is also written as:
=> ax^2 + bx + c = 0
Quadratic equation involves unknown numbers which is x, the numbers which a, b
and c are called coeffecients.
There are also quadratic factorization where you factor the polynomial give to
be able to get the value of the equation.</span>
