Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Amin.

Let b = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Bob.

b = 2a

(a - 3)(b - 3) = 14

ab - 3a - 3b + 9 = 14

a(2a) - 3a - 3(2a) = 5

2a^2 - 3a - 6a = 5

2a^2 - 9a - 5 = 0

(2a + 1)(a - 5) = 0

2a + 1 = 0  or  a - 5 = 0

a = -1/2  or  a = 5

Amin cannot have bought -1/2 pieces of chocolate, so we discard the soluion a = -1/2.

a = 5

Answer: 5

it takes one fourth of a gallon of paint covers one fifth of a car how much paint covers the whole car​
Komok [63]

Answer:

The volume of paint that covers the whole car is 1\frac{1}{4} gallons or one and a quarter gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of paint required to cover whole car be 'x'.

Given:

Volume of paint to cover one-fifth of a car = one-fourth of a gallon.

We use unitary method to determine the volume of paint required.

∵ One-fifth of a car requires paint = \frac{1}{4}\ gal

∴ Whole volume of car requires paint = \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{5}}

=\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{5}{1}\\=\frac{5}{4}\\=1\frac{1}{4}\ gal

Therefore, the volume of paint that covers the whole car is 1\frac{1}{4} gallons or one and a quarter gallons.

(4x)^2=16x^2
4x^2=4(x^2)
values are not equal
