Gianna is making two different salads. One calls for 3 3/4 cups chopped spinach. The other calls for 2 2/3 cups chopped spinach.

<h2> The answer is very simple add the whole numbers then find the LCM of 3 and 4 which is 12 then multiply 3/4 by 3 which will be 9/12 then multiply 2/3 by 4 which will be 9/12 then we add 9/12 + 8/12 which will equal to 5 17/12 which we can reduce and answer will be 6 5/12 spinach.</h2>

Joey and Armando live on the same st as the park. The park is 9/10 mile from Joey's home. Joey leaves home and walks to Armando'

AleksandrR [38]

Let's start by assuming Armando's house is between Joey's and the park.

Let $x$ be the distance Joey walked to Armando's house.

<span>The park is 9/10 mile from Joey's home. Joey leaves home and walks to Armando's home. Then Joey and Armando walk 3/5 mile to the park.

</span> $\dfrac{9}{10} = x + \dfrac{3}{5}$

$x = \dfrac{9}{10} - \dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{9}{10} -\dfrac{6}{10} = \dfrac{3}{10}$

That's probably the answer they're looking for. But what if the park is between Joey and Armando's houses or Joey is between the park and Armando? (The latter isn't really possible with the given distances.)

Let $a, b, c$ be the distances between three collinear points like we have here. Our equation is really a few equations in one, something like

$\pm a \pm b = \pm c$

Let's get rid of the plus/minuses. Squaring,

$a^2 + b^2\pm 2ab = c^2$

$\pm 2ab = c^2-a^2-b^2$

$4a^2b^2 = (c^2-a^2-b^2)^2$

For us, that's a quadratic equation for $c^2$

$4(9/10)^2(3/5)^2= (c^2-(9/10)^2 - (3/5)^2)^2$

I'll skip right to the solutions,

$c^2=\dfrac{9}{100} \textrm{ or } c^2=\dfrac{9}{4}$

$c=\dfrac{3}{10} \textrm{ or } c=\dfrac{3}{2}$

We could have gotten the 3/2 just by adding 9/10+3/5 but this was more fun.

HELP ASAP!<br> Find the value of x. -1x + 72 = -3x + 84

hoa [83]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add x to each side.

72=-2x+84

Subtract 84 from each side

-12=-2x

Dive each side by -2
