Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number of men
4:7 = x:21
4/7 = x/21
7x = 84
x = 12
If you change both to a fraction you would see that you have 1/6 and 1/4 (.25 as a fraction). So 1/5 would be in between them.
You could also change both as a decimal. 1/6 =.166666 and .25 so any number in between them would be correct such as .2 which is the same as 1/5.
Answer:
9(x+3) + 2(x+3) or 10(x+2) +(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
First you want to distribute the equation.
4(x+1) + 7(x+3) multiplied out is
4x + 4 + 7x + 21
Now we add like terms so it comes out to
11x + 25
Two expressions that can come out to equal 11x + 25 is. 9(x+3) + 2(x+3) or 10(x+2) +(x+5)
Answer:
x = 5.5
y = - 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one of the numbers = x
Let the other number = y
x + y = - 1
x = y + 12 Put the second equation into the first one
y + 12 + y = - 1 Subtract 12 from both sides
y + y = - 1 - 12 Combine both left and right sides
2y = - 13 Divide by 2
2y/2 = - 13/1
y = - 6.5
x + y = - 1
x - 6.5 = - 1 Add 6.5 to both sides
x = 5.5
Well, 9/10 is the same as 9 10ths, the decimal that represents that is 0.9 because it is also 9 10ths
