A proportion looks like this:
It means that the quantity a,b,c and d are in the same proportion: the ratio between a and b is the same ratio between c and d.
They are particularly useful in situation when you have an example given, and you want to extrapolate the relationship for another couple.
For example, you can think of the following problem: "Five apples cost 2 dollars. How much will 8 apples cost?"
You can build the proportion
And then solve it for x:
The possible digits are:
5, 6, 7, 8 and
9. Let's mark the case when the locker code begins with a prime number as
A and the case when <span>the locker code is an odd number as
B. We have
5 different digits in total,
2 of which are prime (
5 and
7).
First propability:
</span>
<span>
By knowing that digits don't repeat we can say that code is an odd number in case it ends with
5, 7 or
9 (three of five digits).
Second probability:
</span>
<span>(x + 3)(x² – 6x + 5)= x³-6x²+5x+3x²-18x+15 =x³ -3x²-13x+15 Answer B</span>
Answer:
I would change 2x+4y=24 into x=12–2y
To do that, divide both sides by 2 and then subtract 2y on each side.
After that, substitute for x. 3x+2y=19 would become 3(12–2y)+2y=19.
Then solve.
3(12–2y)+2y=19
36–6y+2y=19
-4y+36=19
-4y=-17
y=4.25
Then, substitute y in either equation.
Either this:
3x+2y=19
3x+2(4.25)=19
3x+8.5=19
3x=10.5
x=3.5
Or:
2x+4y=24
2x+4(4.25)=24
2x+17=24
2x=7
x=3.5
Or you could solve it in the equation you created in the beginning:
x=12–2y
x=12–2(4.25)
x=12–8.5
x=3.5
The coordinates where the lines intercept are (3.5, 4.25).
Sorry for the long answer!
The answer is 1.4 x 10^3 Or 1400
Rewrite the equation as
(2x7) x (10^6 x 10^4) then calculate from there to get your answer
