Answer:
x = 2 or x = - 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x² - 5x = 2
3x² - 5x - 2 = 0
(x - 2) (3x + 1) = 0
x = 2 or x = - 1/3
Answer:
1/2 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
since 1/3of the tank is already full and another 4 gallons fills it up
4 gallons= 2/3 of the tank or the tank is 6 gallons total
75% is equal to 3/4
6*3/4=4 1/2 gallons
since it is 1/3 or 4 gallons full
4 1/2 -4= 1/2
Answer:
If AB is a tangent to the circle, the triangle ABO is right angled, as the angle where a tangent meets the circumference is always 90 degrees.
We also know that Pythogoras' theorem only holds for right angled triangles.
The hypotenuse is 12 + 8 as 12 is the radius so is 20.
16^2+12^2 = 256 + 144 = 400 = 20^2 so AB must be tangent.
Are you looking for the percentage? If you are, then you just have to find 8/9, which is about 0.89, or 89%.
So. let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
whatever they're, we know a + b = 56
let's say the larger one is "b", so 3 times the smaller is 3*a or 3a
now, 12 less than that, is 3a - 12
and the larger is that, so b = 3a - 12
so
solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is
what's b? well, b = 56 - a
