N = number
....................................

<u>n </u>+ 18 = n
4

<u>n </u>= n - 18
4

Cross Multiply

4 * ( n - 18 ) = n
4n - 72 = n
4n - n = 72
3n = 72
n =<u> 72 </u>
       3
n = 24

We can turn this into an equation. 
if x stands for the number you are looking for, then

18 + 1/4 x = x

we can solve this equation

18 + 1/4 x = x
subtract 1/4x from both sides
18 = 3/4 x
divide both sides by 3/4
24 = x

The straight line 2x + 3y = 7 meets the curve
NISA [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

xy + 10 = 0. => y = -10/x.

2x + 3y = 7. => 3y = -2x + 7, y = -2/3 x + 7/3.

When -10/x = -2/3 x + 7/3,

-10 = -2/3 x² + 7/3 x, 2/3 x² - 7/3 x - 10 = 0.

=> 2x² - 7x - 30 = 0

=> (2x + 5)(x - 6) = 0

=> x = -2.5 or x = 6.

dy/dx = d/dx [-10/x] = 10/x².

When x = -2.5, dy/dx = 10 / (-2.5)² = 1.6.

When x = 6, dy/dx = 10 / (6)² = 5/18.

Hence the gradients at the points are 1.6 and 5/18.

Mrs.Evans has 13 pictures to hang on a wall.Is there any way she can arrange the pictures other than 1x13 13x1 so that she can h
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number is a positive integer that only has a factor of one and itself. Factors are the numbers we multiply together to get another number.

Example: 11 is a prime number. To get 11, we can only multiply 1x11.

A composite number is a positive integer that has factors other than one and itself.

Example: 12 is a composite number. To get 12, you can multiply together 1x12, 2x6, and 3x4. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 are all factors of 12.

In the problem you are trying to solve, Mrs. Evans wants to hang 13 pictures with the same number of pictures in each row. Find all of the factors of 13: 1, 13. Those are the only numbers we can multiply together to get 13. Since its factors are only 1 and itself, 13 is a prime number. Because 13 is a prime number, there are no other possible ways she can arrange her pictures into rows with the same number of pictures in each.

Products of two numbers 32.40 in that one number is 15.00 find the other number
Nataly_w [17]
Do inverse operation. Divide 15.00 from 32.40. You will get the answer of 2.16. That is the other factor. To check, just multiply 15.00 and 2.16. Your answer will be 32.40.

A couple of newlyweds decides to s their house with a brand new white picket fence. They purchase 120 feet of fencing materials.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

option (A) 900 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be L and width of the area be 'B'

now,

Perimeter of the fence = 2 (L + B)

also,

2 (L + B) = 120 feet

or

L + B = 60 ft

or

L = 60 - B ft

Now,

The area of the fencing ground, A = LB

or

A = (60 - B)B

A = 60B - B²

now,

differentiating the area with respect to width B, we get

\frac{dA}{dB}= \frac{d(60B - B^2)}{dB}

or

\frac{dA}{dB} = 60 - 2B

for point of maxima or minima, put \frac{dA}{dB} = 0

thus,

60 - 2B = 0

or

2B = 60

or

B = 30 ft

to check for maxima or minima

\frac{d^2A}{dB^2} = - 2

since,

\frac{d^2A}{dB^2} is negative, B = 30 ft is point of maxima

therefore,

L = 60 - B = 60 - 30 = 30 ft

Thus,

Maximum area of the fencing ground = 30 × 30 = 900 ft²

Hence,

The correct answer is option (A) 900 ft²
