3/4 all over 2/3 equal to x/1 cup

So 3/4 / 2/3 =x/1 now you can cross multiple so 3/4*1=3/4 then 2/3*x=2x/3 then you can solve for x.

3/4=2x/3 multiple 3 to both sides so the 3 cancels with the denominator of 2x
9/4=2x then divide by 2 to both sides to get x alone
9/8=x
1.125=x

So for every 1 cup of white sugar you need 1.125 cups of brown sugar.

Which expressions represent a quadratic expression in factored form?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

3 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to start we have to know that they are asking us, a factorized form of a quadratic expression

a quadratic expression is of the form

ax ^ 2 + bx + c

Now the factored form is as follows            

 a ( x - x1 )  ( x - x2 )

Next, let's look at each of the options

In this case we lack a term with x since if we solve we have a linear equation

1.    5(x+9)

  5x + 45

In this case if we pay attention they are being subtracted instead of multiplying, so we will not get a quadratic function

2.    (x+4) - (x+6)

       -2

In this case we have everything we need, now let's try to solve

3.     (x-1) (x-1)

      x^2 - x - x + 1

      x^2 - 2x + 1       quadratic function

In this case we have everything we need, now let's try to solve

4.     (x-3) (x+2)

        x^2 -3x +2x -6

         x^2 -x - 6    quadratic function

In this case we have a quadratic function but we do not have it in its factored form since we can observe the x ^ 2

5.     x^2 + 8x

A system of linear equations is given as x + 3y = 36 and 4x + 5y = 9. Which of the following is a possible first step when solvi
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Rewrite the first equation as x = 36 – 3y.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 36 (1)

4x + 5y = 9 (2)

Using substitution method

From (1)

x = 36 - 3y

Substitute x = 36 - 3y into (2)

4x + 5y = 9

4(36 - 3y) + 5y = 9

144 - 12y + 5y = 9

- 12y + 5y = 9 - 144

-7y = -135

y = -135 / -7

y = 19.3

There is an error with the second equation, 4x + 5y can not be equal to 9

Nevertheless, the first step when solving by substitution is:

Rewrite the first equation as

x = 36 – 3y.
