Answer:
x = -3, x = 0 is a extraneous solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Cross-multiply
3x² = 4x² + 3x
Step 2: Isolate <em>x</em>'s
0 = x² + 3x
Step 3: Factor
0 = x(x + 3)
Step 4: Find roots
x = 0, -3
Step 5: Double check work
Plug in both to see if they both work. Only x = 0 should be extraneous. We now have our answer!
Only 3 kids could eat equally because 3 is the highest number that goes into 12 and 9
Tan52° = x/29
The angle of elevation is 52°, so that must be inside the tan function.
Tan is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. Jessica’s height is unknown, so we can call that x. The adjacent side of the triangle is the shadow, which is 29’m. Since tan is opposite over adjacent (remember SOH CAH TOA), the fraction must be x/29.

Answer:
- 7 pounds of fish
- 18.5 pounds of lobster
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pounds of lobster sold. Then 25.5-x is the number of pounds of fish. The total money made is ...
4.25(25.5-x) +9.00x = 196.25
4.75x + 108.375 = 196.25 . . . . . simplify
4.75x = 87.875 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 108.375
x = 18.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4.75
The market sold 7 pounds of fish and 18.5 pounds of lobster.
