First set up an equation as your approach. I will use the equation x+4x=24 because that way you are saying that something pluse itself times 4 equals 24 which is what you want.
simplify the equation
5x=24
x=24/5
So you know onw piece will be 24/5 of a foot and the ither qould be that times 4 so 96/24 of a foot. In decimals it would be 4.8 and 19.2
120 / 18 = 20/3
x^3 / xy = x^2 / y
20x^2 / 3y
Answer:
Ok
Step-by-step explanation:
Ben wanted to take some money from his Friends to build his family a home. He said that he would give the money back after 12 months. So he would give 1500$ a month. How much money did he borrow?
1500*12=x
Matilda got also money, she told Ben, I got x $ from my dad and y $ from mom. all they gave me was 5000$. If I gave mom Half of the moneys I got from her than I would have 3000$ left to pay. How much did she borrow from her parents?
x+y=5000
and
x+y/2=3000
so x=5000-y
and
5000-y+y/2=3000
so
x=5000-y
and
y=4000
so x=1000 and y=4000
