Yes 3 ears of corn cost $1
X= a number
(2x+4)/3 + (x+2)= 20
Multiply everything by 3 to eliminate the fraction
(3/1)((2x+4)/3) + (3)(x+2)= (3)(20)
2x+4+3x+6= 60
5x+10=60
Subtract 10 from both sides
5x=50
divide both sides by 5
x=10
Check:
Substitute answer in original equation
(2x+4)/3 + (x+2)= 20
(2(10)+4)/3+(10+2)= 20
(20+4)/3+12= 20
24/3+12= 20
8+12= 20
20=20
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: 640
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor is 20/5=4, so the ratio of the areas is the square of this, or 16.
Thus, the area of ABCD is 40(16)=640.
Answer:
x = 17/2
Step-by-step explanation:
x-3 x+8
------ = ------------
2 6
Using cross products
(x-3) *6 = 2 (x+8)
Distribute
6x - 18 = 2x+16
Subtract 2x from each side
6x-2x-18 = 2x-2x+16
4x-18 = 16
Add 18 to each side
4x-18+18 = 16+18
4x = 34
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 = 34/4
x = 17/2
I’m pretty sure it’s B. -3/8x - 1/4 :).
