Seed mix a is more expensive than b
1. (3x-2)/4+1=5
2. (3x-2)/4+1-1=5-1
3. (3x-2)/4=4
4. (3x-2)/4+2=4+2
5. this is the mistake, wecan't just add them because the fractions aren't the same
(3x-2)/4 plus 2/1, the bottom numbers areen't the same
what should be done is go back to step 4 and mltiply both sides by 4, don't add 2
results in
5. 3x-2=16
6. 3x=18
7. x=6
62500 - 56100 = 6400 - number of retrivers u lost per year.
Answer need to be lower then 62,5 and 56,1 thousand so no (A) and not (D)
Number is reduce by 6400 and starting amount was 62500, 2 zeros and end must stay there in answer so not (B)
Then it must be (C)
Or u can calculate 62500 - 9*6400 = 4900
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that z² is directly proportional to w then the equation relating them is
z² = kw ← k is the constant of proportion
To find k use the condition z = 4 when w = 8, thus
4² = 8k
16 = 8k ( divide both sides by 8 )
2 = k
(i)
z² = 2w ← equation of proportion
(ii)
When w = 18, then
z² = 2 × 18 = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )
z =
= 6
(iii)
When z = 5 , then
5² = 2w
25 = 2w ( divide both sides by 2 )
w = 12.5
