Answer:
I think it would be 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, let's factorise each equation individually - to do this, find 2 numbers that when summed add to the value of the second term, and when multiplied give the value of the third term.
7 and 12 give us 4 and 3 (4+3=7, 4*3=12) -- 8 and 15 give us 5 and 3 (5+3=8, 5*3=15)
Now we can rewrite these equations as (y+4)(y+3) and (y+5)(y+3) respectively.
Putting this in a fraction: (y+4)(y+3)/(y+5)(y+3) -- We can clearly see that there is a y+3 on both sides of the fraction, and given there are no terms outside of the brackets being multiplied, we can directly cancel.
This gives us our final answer:
(y+4)/(y+5)
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1) The equation 1/8(x+16)=76/8 represents the situation, where x is the food bill.
2) The solution x=60 represents the total food bill.
These both answers are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 8 group of friends, and the total amount spent by them is $76 including the tip i.e $16.
If x is the food bill our equation can be:
(x+16)/8 = 76/8
Solving the equation
(x+16)/8 = 9.5
x+16= 9.5*8
x= 76 -16
x= 60
The food bill is x=60.
Answer:
6y² - 20y + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Use FOIL method
(3y - 1)(y-3) = 3y*y + 3y*(-3) + (-1)*y + (-1)*(-3)
= 3y²- 9y - y + 3 {add the like terms}
= 3y² - 10y + 3
2(3y - 1)(y - 3) = 2 ( 3y² - 10y + 3)
= 2*3y² - 2*10y + 2*3
= 6y² - 20y + 6
