Answer: 3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

So, taking the ratio of the time taken by Henry to the time taken by Gavin is: (36 mins/ 60 mins) = (36/60) = 3:5 [Taking minutes as the common unit for both of the cases.] Thus the ratio is 3:5 in simplest form.

Find all the zeros of the equation
lapo4ka [179]

Divide both sides by -3, and replace x^2 with y. Then

-3x^4+27x^2+1200=0\iff y^2-9y-400=0

Factorize the quadratic in y to get

y^2-9y-400=(y+16)(y-25)=0\implies y=-16,y=25

which in turn means

x^2=-16,x^2=25

But x^2\ge0 for all real x, so we can ignore the first solution. This leaves us with

x^2=25\implies x=\pm\sqrt{25}=\pm5

If we allow for any complex solution, then we can continue with the solution we ignored:

x^2=-16\implies x=\pm\sqrt{-16}=\pm i\sqrt{16}=\pm4i

Twenty more than four times a number is equal to the difference between 139 and three times the number. Find the number.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's turn this into an equation:

twenty more ( +20 ) than four times a number ( 4x ) is equal ( = ) to the difference ( - ) between 139 and 3 times the number ( 3x ).

4x + 20 = 139 - 3x

Now let's solve:

Subtract 20 from each side:

4x = 119 - 3x

Add 3x to each side:

7x = 119

Divide each side by 7:

x = 17
