8/15 = 56/105
This may be solved using proportion.
a/b = c/d
ad = bc where cross products are equal.
a = 8
b = f
c = 56
d = 105
ad = bc
8*105 = f*56
840 = 56f
840/56 = 56f/56
f = 15
56 ÷ 7 = 8
105 ÷ 7 = 15
Answer:
or y = 0.25x + 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to try change the subject from x to y.
x = 4y - 2
We first move -2 to the left, making the equation
x + 2 = 4y i.e.
4y = x + 2
We then divide both sides by 4.
or y = 0.25x + 0.5
We now have successfully made y the subject, and effectively solving the equation.
54% of the time. 21 and 45 is 66. Two hours is 120. The you subtract
So, first, what are the two sides?
let's call then x and y
we know that 2(x+y)=12.5 (that's the distance around)
so that means that x+y=6.25 (I just divided both by 2)
now, x=4y (from "4 times as long as it is wide")
so we can substitute:
x+4x=6.25
5x=6.25
x=1.25
so one side, is 1.25 and the other will be 1.25*4=5
and for the area we multiply the two:
1.25*5=6.25 square kilometers, and this is the answer!
