9 dived by 3 = 3
so he surfed for 3 hours = 1/3 of 9
and there are 6 hours left
so he spent 6 hours building a sandcastle
If you have a problem like:
4x+2y=20
2x+2y=16
You would subtract
4x-2y=20
-2x+2y=16
You would get the new problum
2x=4
You now want to divide the 2 on both sides to solve for x
x=2
Now that you've solved for X you want to solve for y. So use substitution to solve for y. You would want to substatute the x for the 2 in either of the problums. I'll use the first one.
4(2)+2y=20
You first want to multiply te 4(2) you would get a new problum.
8+2y=20
Now you want to subtract the 8 on both sides.
2y=12
The last step to solve for y is to divide the 2 on both sides.
Y=6
So your answers would be
x=2
y=6
It’s like 40 I do believe but ion rlly no like that fr
Answer:
4.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the two fugures in the question above are similar, it means they have the same shape, even though they are if different sizes, the ratio of their corresponding sides are proportional. Thus,
18/x = 8/2
Let's solve for x as required.
We have,
18/x = 8/2
=>Cross multiply:
18 × 2 = 8 × x
36 = 8x
=>Divide both sides by 8
36/8 = x
4.5 = x
x = 4.5 ft
The first option is our answer = 4.5 ft
