Let's clear out the fraction(s):
Mult. all 3 terms by 3, obtaining 18 = 3x + 2. Simplifying, 16 = 3x.
Then x = 16/3 (answer).
Check: does (16/3) + (2/3) = 6? Yes, since 18/3 = 6.
L = rate of the large hose
S = rate of the small hose
we know the sum of their rates deliver the swimming pool filled up in 35 minutes, thus L + S = 35.
now, the large hose can do it in 60 minutes, that means that in 1 minute, the large hose has only done 1/60 th of the work.
the small hose can do the whole thing in S minutes, that means in 1 minute it has only done 1/S th of the whole work.
and since both of them working together can do it in 35 minutes, then in 1 minute they both have done 1/35 th of the whole job.
Answer:
Multiply the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here are the options :
Divide the numerator and denominator of the fraction by 2.
Subtract 40 from the numerator and denominator of the fraction.
Multiply the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by 2.
Add 50 to the numerator and denominator of the fraction.
(45 x 2) / (50 x 2) = 90/100
Multiply 90/100 by 100 = 90%
the same answer would be gotten if 45/50 is multiplied by 100
45/50 x 100 = 90%
2400 + 100x = 2200 + 120x
2400 - 2200 = 120x - 100x
200 = 20x
200/20 = x
10 = x <== they would have to sell 10 systems
Answer:
The expressions x + x and 2x are equal.
