The easiest way to solve a problem like this is to cross multiply and solve
The problem gives us a ratio
2 pounds of granola = 3 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of
The other ratio is
? pounds of granola = 24 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of
To solve, set them equal to each other ...
Now we must cross multiply...
To cross multiply, we multiply
2 and 24 and we multiply
3 and x Now we have an equation to solve!
3x = 48 To solve and get your final answer, divide...
x = x = 16
You'll need 16 pounds of granola
Given A = {a, e, i, o, u} and B = {a, l, g, e, b, r}, find A ∪ B.

Ahh..this is sets topics - A U B = all the elements found in A and B. But do note, do not repeat the elements if it is the same. And if the question were to ask : n(AUB) = total number of elements found in A and B.
Answer:
x = 1 is not a solution to the equation
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 4 = -3x - 2 x = 1
2(1) + 4 = -3(1) - 2
2 + 4 = -3 - 2
6 = -5 FALSE
I believe the answer is 11W-0 or just plain 11W
To solve this, set up two equations using the information you're given. Let's call our two numbers a and b:
1) D<span>ifference of two numbers is 90
a - b (difference of two numbers) = 90
2) The quotient of these two numbers is 10
a/b (quotient of the two numbers) = 10
Now you can solve for the two numbers.
1) Solve the second equation for one of the variables. Let's solve for a:
a/b = 10
a = 10b
2) Plug a =10b into the first equation and solve for the value of b:
a - b = 90
10b - b = 90
9b = 90
b = 10
3) Using b = 10, plug it back into one of the equations to find the value of a. I'll plug it back into the first equation:
a - b = 90
a - 10 = 90
a = 100
