Answer:
8/11
Step-by-step explanation:
2 2/3 = 8/3
8/3 x 3/11 = 24/33
24/33 = 8/11
The common ratio of the sequence is calculated by dividing the second term by the first term or dividing the third term by the second term. That is,
r = 250 / 333 = 0.75
or r = 187 / 250 = 0.748 = 0.75
To get the next term, we multiply 187 by 0.75 giving us an answer of 140.25 or 141.
Answer:
3(x - 5)(x + 1).
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2 - 12x - 15
Dividing through by 3:
= 3(x^2 - 4x - 5)
We need 2 numbers whose sum is -4 and whose product = -5. That is -5 and +1 , so the factors are:
3(x - 5)(x + 1).
For an instance, i stands for the money that you have, and b stands for the money that brother has.
An equation system based on the problem would be
i + b = 42 (equation 1)
i = 3b (equation 2)
Use substitution method to solve the problem
substitute 3b into i in the equation 1
i + b = 42
3b + b = 42
4b = 42
b = 42/4
b = 10.5
substitute the value of b into the equation 1
i = 3b
i = 3(10.5)
i = 31.5
You have $31.5 and your brother has $10.5
