Answer:
RT = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Point S is on line segment
R------------S------------T
RS + ST = RT
Given
ST=3x-8
RT=4x
RS=4x-7,
Step 1
We find x
4x - 7 + 3x - 8 = 4x
4x + 3x -7 - 8 = 4x
7x - 15 = 4x
7x - 4x = 15
3x = 15
x = 15/3
x = 5
Step 2
We find RT
RT = 4x
x = 5
RT = 4 × 5
RT = 20
The numerical length of RT is 20
Answer: 490 grams of the first alloy should be used.
30 grams of the second alloy should be used.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the weight of the first alloy in grams that should be used.
Let y represent the weight of the second alloy in grams that should be used.
A chemist has two alloys, one of which is 15% gold and 20% lead. This means that the amount of gold and lead in the first alloy is
0.15x and 0.2x
The second alloy contains 30% gold and 50% lead. This means that the amount of gold and lead in the second alloy is
0.3y and 0.5y
If the alloy to be made contains 82.5 g of gold, it means that
0.15x + 0.3y = 82.5 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
The second alloy would also contain 113 g of lead. This means that
0.2x + 0.5y = 113 - - - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 0.2 and equation 2 by 0.15, it becomes
0.03x + 0.06y = 16.5
0.03x + 0.075y = 16.95
Subtracting, it becomes
- 0.015y = - 0.45
y = - 0.45/- 0.015
y = 30
Substituting y = 30 into equation 1, it becomes
0.15x + 0.3 × 30 = 82.5
0.15x + 9 = 82.5
0.15x = 82.5 - 9 = 73.5
x = 73.5/0.15
x = 490
Answer:
3/32 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 divided by 8
3/4 divided by 8/1
3/4 times 1/8
3/32 tons per flower pot
Answer:
Depends on the bathroom
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically since I don't know the bathroom length and width, Ima just cut it down for you.
It is your bathroom area (length*width) divided by the area of the tiles, which is 1*1=1 foot^2(square)
Also it depends on the unit you used for the bathroom, you gotta transfer the unit for the bathroom length and width into feet.
So you should get number for bathroom area with the unit feet square.
Im pretty sure it would be doubling the length of each side
