(x + 3)/(4 - x) = 13/15
15(x + 3) = 13(4 - x)
15x + 45 = 52 - 13x
15x + 13x = 52 - 45
28x = 7
x = 7/28 = 1/4
Therefore, 1/5 is not a solution
Answer:
107 :)
Step-by-step explanation:
In total there are 53+8+155+17+145+10+98+2=488 physicians of aerospace medicine. 45-54 year-old males account for 145/488 of this population, so they should account for that fraction of the central angle of the circle graph also. Since there are 360 degrees in the central angle to divide up among the groups, the 45-54 year-old male group should get 145/488 x 360 which rounds to about 107 degrees.
If he had $422 to begin with and bought $524 worth of stuff with money he didn't have them his account would go into the negative, $-102
Answer:
t = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
8 + 9t - 3 + 4
Combine like terms
(8 - 3 + 4) + 9t
9 + 9t
9t + 9
Get <em>t</em> by itself
9t + 9 = 0
-9 -9
9t = -9
Divide both sides by 9 to find <em>t</em>
t = -1
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
