Answer:

We suppose that a is the old price in cents

the total cost of 9.20 $ equals 920 cents

so we have 20 liters bought with the old price (a) and 10 liters with the new price (a + 2). This is translated into this equation where a is the old price therefore our quest to be answered

20 xa + 10 x (a + 2) = 920 (cents)

20 xa + 10 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa = 920 - 20

30 xa = 900

a = 900: 30

a = 30 (cents)

therefore the old price for 1 liter of petrol is 30 cents

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)

ASAP! Simplify -5 - square root -44
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

\boldmath-5-2i\sqrt{\boldmath11}

Step-by-step explanation:

The not simplified form is -5-\sqrt{-44}

you know that \sqrt{a\times b} = \sqrt{a} \times\sqrt{b} is true a and b are both positive or one of it is negative (not both of them).

You can write -44 as -1 × 4 × 11 inside square root.

So, \sqrt{-44} = \sqrt{-1\times4\times11}=\sqrt{-1}\times\sqrt{4}\times\sqrt{11}=i\times2\times\sqrt{11}         (\sqrt{4}=2)

\therefore -5-\sqrt{-44} = -5-2i\sqrt{11}

(NOTE : You must know that \boldmath\sqrt{\boldmath-1} is written as \boldsymbol i )

Answer:

\sf x =\dfrac{2}{3}

Explanation:

\sf \rightarrow \dfrac{x+1}{2} = \dfrac{7x-3}{2}

cross multiply

\sf \rightarrow 2(x+1) = 2(7x-3)

divide both sides by 2

\sf \rightarrow x + 1 = 7x-3

isolate variables

\sf \rightarrow x -7x = -3-1

simplify

\sf \rightarrow -6x = -4

divide both sides by -6

\sf \rightarrow \dfrac{-6x}{-6}  = \dfrac{-4}{-6}

simplify

\sf \rightarrow x =\dfrac{2}{3}

An animal shelter wants their ratio of dogs to cats to be 3:2. If the animal shelter has 78 dogs, how many cats should they have
OleMash [197]
The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions. So, you'd do:

\frac{3}{2} = \frac{78}{x} and then solve for x. 

x=52
