For the first two, put it them over 100. So number 1 would be 34/100 or 17/50 reduced. Number 2 is 77.5/100 and since it is a decimal, I would keep it at over 100. Number 3 put 8/10 or 4/5 reduced and number 4 is different. Think of it as money and how a quarter is in relation to a dollar. You have 4 quarters in a dollar, so since you have .25%, it is 1/4.
7n + 3 = 3n + 27
7n -3n =27-3
4n =24
n= 6.
Hello there!
4x² = 100
We wanna start by dividing both sides by 4
4x²/4 = 100/4
x² = 25
Now we can take square root
x = +/-√25
x = 5 or x = -5
As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!
Answer:Gary made 15 baskets.
Susan made 10 baskets.
Bill made 17 baskets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of baskets that Gary made.
Let y represent the number of baskets that Susan made.
Let z represent the number of baskets that Bill made.
Gary made 5 baskets than Susan this season. This means that
x = y + 5
Bill made 3 less than twice as many baskets as Susan. This means that
z = 2y - 3
Together, all three made 42 baskets. This means that
x + y + z = 42 - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = y + 5 and z = 2y - 3 into equation 1, it becomes
y + 5 + y + 2y - 3 = 42
4y + 2 = 42
4y = 42 - 2 = 40
y = 40/4 = 10
x = y + 5 = 10 + 5
x = 15
z = 2y - 3 = 2 × 10 - 3
z = 20 - 3 = 17
