Answer:

  • 1/2 of the charms used

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Ratio of string and charms:</u>

  • 1/4 yard of string ⇒ 10 charms
  • 9/10 yard of string ⇒ x

<u>Solve by cross-multiplication</u>

  • x = 10*9/10 ÷ 1/4
  • x = 36 charms

<u>The fraction of all charms to number of used:</u>

  • 72/36 = 1/2

Answer:

x = ± 4

y = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 0.5x² - 10 ------------------------(I)

y = -x² + 14   ------------------------(II)

Substitute the y value in equation (II)

    0.5x² - 10  = -x² + 14           {Add x² to both sides}            

0.5x² + x² -10 = 14                  {combine like terms}

       1.5x² - 10 = 14                   {Add 10 to both sides}

               1.5x² = 14 + 10

                1.5x² = 24         {Divide both sides by 1.5}

               1.5x²/1.5 = 24/1.5

                       x² = 16

                      x = ±4

Substitute x = 4 in (I)

y = 0.5 * 4² - 10

 = 0.5*16 - 10

 = 8- 10

y = -2

Substitute x = -4 in (I)

y = 0.5 * (-4)² - 10

 = 0.5*16 - 10

 = 8- 10

y = -2

Solve for x.
Ivahew [28]
ANSWER

x=\frac{2-\sqrt{10}} {3}

or

x=\frac{\sqrt{10}+2} {3}

We have

3x^2-4x-2=0

Since we cannot factor easily, we complete the square.

Adding 2 to both sides give,

3x^2-4x=2

Dividing through by 3 gives

x^2-\frac{4}{3}x= \frac{2}{3}

Adding (-\frac{2}{3})^2 to both sides gives

x^2-\frac{4}{3}x+(-\frac{2}{3})^2= \frac{2}{3}+(-\frac{2}{3})^2

The expression on the Left Hand side is a perfect square.

(x-\frac{2}{3})^2= \frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{9}

\Rightarrow (x-\frac{2}{3})^2= \frac{10}{9}

\Rightarrow (x-\frac{2}{3})=\pm \sqrt{\frac{10}{9}}

\Rightarrow (x)=\frac{2}{3} \pm {\frac{\sqrt{10}}{3}

Splitting the plus or minus sign gives

x=\frac{2- \sqrt{10}} {3}

or

x=\frac{\sqrt{10}+2} {3}

If b/a=c/b=d/c=2/3, find the value of a:b:c:d
leva [86]

Answer:

the ratio would be 6.75:4.5:3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

replace d and c with

d=2 and c=3

Then using proportion multiplication, you will find that b is 4.5

now replace all b with 4.5.

Then again using proportion multiplication, you will get a is 6.75.

Plug in a, b, c, d in the ratio and you get 6.75:4.5:3:2
