These questions can be daunting at first, but they're pretty simple to solve.
First, we need to establish a common denominator. We have 2 / 3, 1 / 4, and
-4 / 3. The least common denominator we can get is by multiplying 4 and 3 together to get 12. So we will change the denominator as follows;
2 / 3, 1 / 4, -4 / 3 = 8 / 12, 3 / 12, -16 / 12
Now we can put these back into the equation.
8/12x + 3/12 = -16/12
8x + 3 = -16
It's simple math from here on out, but I'll show the process. What we can basically do now is take away the denominator because it doesn't matter now that it's common.
Subtract 3 from both sides. Now we have 8x = -19
Dividing by 8 on both sides of the equation will get you your answer.
x = -19/8
Hope this helps!
It takes 0.15625 minutes to paint 1 square feet
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, I can paint 96 sq ft in 15 minutes
To find: Time taken to paint 1 square feet
From given,
96 square feet is painted in 15 minutes
Let "x" be the time taken to paint 1 square feet
Then, we can say,
96 square feet = 15 minutes
1 square feet = x minutes
This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying
Thus it takes 0.15625 minutes to paint 1 square feet
Start with an equation summing all the angles in this triangle:
180 = <M + <N + <P
we are given <M and <N but not <P. But, since MN=NP, the angle <P is the same as the angle <M (isosceles, make a drawing to see). So
180 = 2<M + <N
180 = 2(3x+1) + x-11
180 = 7x - 9
x = 27
<P = 3*27+1 = 82 degrees
3x+5x-12=180
8x=180+12
8x=192
x=192/8
x=24
angle 1 = 5x-12
=5(24)-12
=120-12
=108
angle 2= 3x =3*24=72
angle 1 = angle 9
angle 9= 108
I believe that your answer is correct
