Answer:
She will get 12 books from the store
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use ratio's to solve
2 books out x books out
------------------- =-----------------------------
3 books in 18 books in from Val
Using cross products
2 * 18 = 3 *x
Divide each side by 3
2*18 /3 = 3x/3
2*6 = x
12 =x
She will get 12 books from the store
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factor out numerator and denominator in order to simplify the rational expression by cancelling common factors.
Numerator : x^3 - 4 x = x (x^2 - 4) = x (x - 2) (x + 2)
Denominator (factoring by grouping):
x^2 - 5 x + 6 = x^2 - 3 x - 2 x + 6 = x (x - 3) - 2 (x - 3) = (x - 3) (x - 2)
Then we can cancel out the common factor (x - 2) in both numerator and denominator, leading to:
x (x + 2) / (x - 3) = (x^2 + 2)/ (x-3)
Answer:
73.68%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the amount of increase subtract 33-19 to get 14.
The percent increase is the amount of increase/initial length * 100
So 14/19*100 = 73.684...
Rounding to the nearest hundredth = 73.68%
Answer:
$34
Step-by-step explanation:
I'd work backwards.
For the third book, she paid all her remaining money. The problem says she paid "1/2 her leftover money + $3". This means that: (let m = money used to buy book 3)
m = 1/2m + 3
1/2m = 3
m = 6
For the second book: (let n = money before book 2)
n - m (money left after book 2) = 1/2n + 2
1/2n +2 is money used up for book, which is the same as n-m.
n = 1/2n + 2 + m
1/2n = 2 + m = 2 + 6
1/2n =8
n = 16
For the first book, she spent 1/2 her money + 1. If o = money before book 1 (or the whole allowance):
o - n = 1/2o + 1
o = 1/2o + n + 1 = 1/2o + 16 + 1
1/2o = 17
o = 34
Check!
Spent 17 (half 34) + 1 on book 1
16 left
Spent 8 (half 16) +2 on book 2
6 left
Spent 3 (half 6) + 3 on book 3
0 left
