The solution to this would be x=2, y=-2
Answer:
x=i or no solution exists depending on the user's grade
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2x^2-5
-7 = 2x^2-5
-2 = 2x^2, x^2=-1, x=i
Answer:
36 boards
Step-by-step explanation:
The boards are as long as the room, so I only had to worry about the width. If the boards were 1/2 ft wide, I would need 2 boards for every foot of width. For 16 ft, I would need 32 boards.
Instead of dividing, I wrote the equivalent multiplication by multiplying by the reciprocal of 11/24 (the reciprocal of 11/24 is 24/11)
I simplified by dividing both 2 and 24 by 2, and both 11 and 33 by 11.
Therefore he needs 36 boards
Answer:
- 3/20, with the assumptions below.
Explanation:
The question seems incomplete.
In order to show you the procedure, I make some assumptions.
Assuming that Ricky wants to split the full content of the 3/4 of a bag between his 5 friends, to find what fraction of the bag will each friend receive you must divide 3/4 by 5.
The operation is:

Convert the whole number 5 into fraction using 1 as denominator:

Transform the division into multiplication changing the divisor into its reciprocal:

Multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator:
