Rationalizing the denominator, simply means "getting rid of that pesky root at the bottom", and we do so by simply multiplying it by something to take it out, of course, we multiply the bottom, we have to also multiply the top,
6500 pounds are necessary to cover 75000 square feet
The solutions are (2.1925, 5.1925) and (-3.1925, -0.1925)
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
<em><u>We have to substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2</u></em>
Substitute x = 2.1925 in eqn 1
y = 2.1925 + 3
y = 5.1925
Substitute x = -3.1925 in eqn 1
y = -3.1925 + 3
y = -0.1925
Thus the solutions are (2.1925, 5.1925) and (-3.1925, -0.1925)
Answer:the number of coach tickets that she bought is 5
the number of first class tickets that she bought is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of coach tickets that she bought.
Let y represent the number of first class tickets that she bought.
The total number of people that went for the round trip is 11. This means that
x + y = 11
She was able to purchase coach tickets for $340 and first class tickets for $1190. She used her total budget for airfare for the trip, which was $8840. This means that
340x + 1190y = 8840 - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 11 - y into equation 1, it becomes
340(11-y) + 1190y = 8840
3740 - 340y + 1190y = 8840
- 340y + 1190y = 8840 - 3740
850y = 5100
y = 5100/850 = 6
x = 11 - y
x = 11 - 6 = 5
Answer:
x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
3 - 2x = -1.5x
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Add 2x on both sides: 3 = 0.5x
- Divide 0.5 on both sides: 6 = x
- Rewrite: x = 6
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in<em> x</em>: 3 - 2(6) = -1.5(6)
- Multiply: 3 - 12 = -9
- Subtract: -9 = -9
Here we see that -9 does indeed equal -9.
∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.
