The way I like to solve proportions is by cross multiplying and dividing. First yo multiply the diagonals and then you divide by the other number. So if your proportion is 7/5 = x/3, your equation would be 7*3/5. So 7*3 is 21, so your equation is now 21/5. With some long division, you'll see that 21/5 = 4.2 That's your answer, feel free to ask more questions if you need!!(:
Answer:
d) ≤
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: It should be used 2 for type-A and 3 for type-B to minimize the cost.
Step-by-step explanation: As it is stipulated, <u>x</u> relates to type-A and y to type-B.
Type-A has 60 deluxe cabins and B has 80. It is needed a minimum of 360 deluxe cabins, so:
60x + 80y ≤ 360
For the standard cabin, there are in A 160 and in B 120. The need is for 680, so:
160x + 120y ≤ 680
To calculate how many of each type you need:
60x + 80y ≤ 360
160x + 120y ≤ 680
Isolating x from the first equation:
x = 
Substituing x into the second equation:
160(
) + 120y = 680
-3200y+1800y = 10200 - 14400
1400y = 4200
y = 3
With y, find x:
x = 
x = 
x = 2
To determine the cost:
cost = 42,000x + 51,000y
cost = 42000.2 + 51000.3
cost = 161400
To keep it in a minimun cost, it is needed 2 vessels of Type-A and 3 vessels of Type-B, to a cost of $161400
Given:
For every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew.
Altogether, 12 seeds grew.
To find:
The number of total seeds planted by Lara.
Solution:
It is given that for every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew. It means the ratio of total seeds planted to seeds grew is 3:2.
Altogether, 12 seeds grew.
Let x be the number of total seeds planted by Lara. Then,




Therefore, the total number of seeds planter by Lara is 18.
Call the smaller of the two odds = n
Call the next number in the sequence = n + 2
n*(n +2) = 782 Remove the brackets.
n^2 + 2n = 782 Subract 782 from both sides.
n^2 + 2n - 782 = 0 We are going to have to factor this.
Discussion
This problem can't be done the way it is written. The product of an odd integer with another odd integer is and odd integer. There are no exceptions to this. So you need to give a number that has two factors very near it's square root for this question to work.
For example, you could use 783, (which factors) instead of 782 .
Solve
n^2 + 2n - 783 = 0
(n + 29)(x - 27) = 0
<u>Solution One</u>
n - 27 = 0
n = 27
The two odd consecutive integers are 27 and 29.
<u>Solution Two</u>
n + 29 = 0
n = - 29
The two solution integers are -29 and - 27 Notice that - 29 is smaller than - 27.
