Ok so the slashes are division so you would divide
Answer:
22x^2-9x+32
Step-by-step explanation:
(21x² - 6x +14) + (x²-3x+18)
To add, we need to combine like terms
21x^2+x^2 -6x-3x +14+18
22x^2-9x+32
Hello there! We are talking about 86 being part of a number, so we are looking for the whole. To find the number we are looking for, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:
86/x = 45/100
86 is 45% of a number. We know the part, so now we are looking for the whole. 45% is part of 100%, so we put that part together. Cross multiply the digits. 100 * 86 is 8,600. 45 * x is 45x. That simplifies to 8,600 = 45x. Now, divide each side by 45 to isolate the x. 45x/45 cancels out. 8,600/45 is 191.1111111 or 191 1/9 in fraction form. There. x = 191 1/9 86 is 45% or 191 1/9
Note: Or, if you have to round to the nearest whole number, the answer is 191, or if you have to round to the nearest tenth, the answer is 191.1. It all depends on if the answer needs to be rounded or exact.
Complete question :
The sugar maple tree in Joshua's yard is 1/4 the age of the oak tree in his yard. The sugar maple tree is 20 years old. How old is the oak tree?
Answer:
80 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Sugar maple tree = 1/4 age of oak tree
Age of sugar maple tree = 20
Age of oak tree = x
20 = 1/4 * x
20 = x / 4
Multiply both sides by 4
20 * 4 = (x / 4) * 4
80 = x
Hence, Age of oak tree = 80 years
