Equivalent ratio means equal in value.
18:27=6:9=2:3
Answer: x= -2, y= 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+5y=9
X-y=-5
Multiply bottom equation by 5
3x+5y=9
5x-5y=-25
3x + 5x=8x
5y-5y cancels out
9-25= -16
8x= -16
X= -2
Plug -2 back into equation of choice to find y
3(-2)+5y=9
-6+5y=9
Add -6 to both sides
-6+6 cancels
9+6=15
5y=15
Y=3
(x - 3)(x + 5) + (x - 3)(2x - 1)
We can factor out (x - 3) since both terms have that in common. Then we simply add together x + 5 and 2x - 1
(x - 3)(3x + 4) is the final answer.
15ft because 12x.25=3 so 3ft is 25% of the 12ft, add the 3+12=15
