The easiest way to do this is to put each term in the numerator over the denominator and do the division/reducing for each one. Like this:
. The first term reduces to
, the second to
, and the third to 3. Putting them all together with the signs in between we have
The ratio from tomatoes to pepper plants is 5:2
Meaning there are 5 tomatoes and 2 pepper plants
In order to find a ratio where there are 6 more tomatoes than pepper plants you will have to multiply.
-----
When the ratio 5:2 is multiplied by 2
it equals 10:4
We can stop here because it is shown that now there are 6 more tomatoes than pepper plants.
-----
So there are:
10 tomatoes
and
4 pepper plants!
Answer:
x = 12
y = -29
Step-by-step explanation:
Our given equations: x + y = -17 and x - y = 41
Solve for x and substitute.
x = -17 - y
(-17 - y) - y = 41
-17 - 2y = 41
2y = -58
y = -29
Solve for x using y
x + (-29) = -17
x = 12
Answer: 3x=3
Step-by-step explanation: Let's divide this into parts--
1. Adding the x variables: -2x+5x or 5x-2x = 3x.
2. Adding the y variables: y-y or -y+y = 0. (The negative and the positive y cancel each other out.)
3. Adding the numbers: 8-5 or -5+8 = 3.
Now just put it back into an equation: 3x + 0 = 3.
We don't need to add the 0, so the equation changes into 3x = 3.
A9x) = x^2 - 6x + 9 = (x - 3)^2
length of a side = x - 3
