3 : 8....can be written as 3/8
12 lbs of apples were sold
apples / oranges : 3/8 = 12/x
this is a proportion, so we cross multiply
(3)(x) = (12)(8)
3x = 96
x = 96/3
x = 32 <=== 32 lbs of oranges
notice that 3/8 = 12/32....these are equivalent fractions....because that is what proportions are, equivalent fractions
Answer:
x= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Using BODMAS, bracket first, multiply all in the bracket with -2, getting the answer, collect like terms and the answer is gotten
The answer is (x-3)(x-3).
Answer: 5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Length of 16 m fir tree is 12 m

Suppose x is the length of the ash tree
angle
made by fir and ash tree will be same as shown in figure

Answer:
In algebra, like terms are terms that have the same variables and powers. The coefficients do not need to match. Unlike terms are two or more terms that are not like terms, i.e. they do not have the same variables or powers.
