1/7 and 3/14......common denominator is 14
2/14 = 3/14
cross multiply
(14)(3) = (14)(2)
42 = 28...not correct...no, this does not form a proportion
little tip ** proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions and 1/7 does not equal 3/14...now if it would have been 1/7 and 2/14...then it would have been a proportion
y = 6 - 3x
x + y = 62
Since we already know the value of y, we can use substitution to find the value of x.
x + 6 - 3x = 62
<em><u>Subtract 6 from both sides.</u></em>
x - 3x = 56
<em><u>Combine like terms.</u></em>
-2x = 56
<em><u>Divide both sides by -2</u></em>
x = -28
Now that we know the value of x, we can solve for the value of y.
x + y = 62
-28 + y = 62
<em><u>Add 28 to both sides</u></em>
y = 90
The value of y is 90, and the value of x is -28 (this is your answer)
To make sure that these values are correct, we can plug them into the original equations.
y = 6 - 3x
x + y = 62
90 = 6 - 3(-28)
90 = 90 √ this is correct
-28 + 90 = 62
62 = 62 √ this is also correct
Answer:
20 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
let the width be x
length = 2x-4
perimeter = 2 length + 2 width = 2(2x-4)+2x = 4x-8+2x = 6x-8
6x-8 = 64
6x = 72
x = 12
length = 2x-4 = 2(12)-4 = 20
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 2x - 3 = 0 ( add 3 to both sides )
x² + 2x = 3
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(1)x + 1 = 3 + 1
(x + 1)² = 4 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 1 = ± 
= ± 2 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
x = - 1 ± 2
Thus
x = - 1 - 2 = - 3
x = - 1 + 2 = 1
Multiply the whole number with the denominator and then add the numerator . The final answer goes on top and your denominator stays the same
