Answer:
Radical
Step-by-step explanation:
R is an abbreviation for radical, when the term radical applied to a portion of a complete molecule (not necessarily a free radical), such as a methyl group.
Answer:
Let 3x be the number of boys
Let 2x be the number of girls
3x + 2x = 24
5x = 24
x = 4.8
3(4.8) = 14.4 boys
2(4.8) = 9.6 girls
There can't be 24 students for a ratio of 3 boys and 2 girls, because there can't be 14.4 boys and 9.6 girls, it has to be an exact number, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense.
For example, you and I are both 1 person, we can't be half a person or 0.6 of a person, only 1.
Answer:
h=21
Step-by-step explanation:
h=1.5t+3
h=1.5(12)+3
h=18+3
h=21
A total of $27,000 was invested; part of it at 10% and part of it at 12%. The total yield was $2990. How much was invested at each rate?
Let
x -----> amount invested at 10%
(27,000-x) -----> amount invested at 12%
we have that
0.10(x)+0.12(27,000-x)=2990 ------> equation A
solve for x
0.10x+3,240-0.12x=2,990
0.12x-0.10x=3,240-2,990
0.02x=250
x=$12,500
so
27,000-x=27,000-12,500=$14,500
therefore
amount invested at 10% ----> $12,500
amount invested at 12% -----> $14,500
True

You need to test for some combination of the variables present. If one is missing, you can only test a value of the other.
