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!

Is 2(x - 6) = -35 equivalent to 2x = -23
rusak2 [61]
Yes, if you just distribute 2(x-6). Then you would have 2x-12 = -35 then add 12 to the -35 and your answer would be 2x = -23 and leads to them being equivalent.

X+y=5<br> x×y=6<br> Solve simultaneously with steps
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

(3, 2), (2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 5

xy = 6

Solve the first equation for x.

x = 5 - y

Substitute 5 - y for x in the second equation.

xy = 6

(5 - y)y = 6

5y - y² = 6

y² - 5y + 6 = 0

Factor.

(y - 2)(y - 3) = 0

y - 2 = 0  or y - 3 = 0

y = 2  or y = 3

Now substitute 2 for y in the first equation and solve for x.

x + y = 5

x + 2 = 5

x = 3

One solution is x = 3; y = 2, or (3, 2).

Now substitute 3 for y in the first equation and solve for x.

x + y = 5

x + 3 = 5

x = 2

Another solution is x = 2; y = 3, or (3, 2).

Answer: (3, 2), (2, 3)

How do you find the radius of a cylinder when you only know the surface area?
Paha777 [63]

The surface area of a cylinder with circular bases of radius <em>r</em> and height <em>h</em> is equal to the sum of the areas of the two circular faces and the area of the rectangular lateral surface:

<em>A</em> = 2π<em>r</em>² + 2π<em>rh</em>

If you know the height <em>h</em>, then you can solve the quadratic equation for <em>r</em>.

10p-2(3p-6)=4(3p-6)-8p
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

undefined / no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

10p - 2(3p-6) = 4(3p-6) - 8p

10p - 6p - 12 = 12p - 24 - 8p

4p - 12 = 4p - 24

0 = -12

0 cannot equal -12
