There would be 35 rulers.
In order to solve this, use cross multiplication.
6/10 = 21/x -----> cross multiply
10*21 = 6*x
210 = 6x
35 = x
You didn't write what to do with the fraction but I think you meant to ask to simplify it:
38b/-19
Multiply - 19 from top and bottom :
-2b
THE FIRST ANSWER IS CORRECT
Answer:
actual length = 171.67 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
scale of school bus drawing is 12 in. to 5 ft.
if the length of a school bus drawing is 412 in.
5 ft
the actual length is = 412 in x --------
12 in
actual length = 171.67 ft.
Extraneous solutions, is answers that we get because of squaring both sides of the radical equation, but in reality, they are not going to be the solutions of the given equation.
(√(4x+41))²=(x+5)²
4x+41=x²+10x+25
x²+6x-16=0
(x-2)(x+8)=0
x1=2 , x2=-8,
And now we must to check them by substitution into initial equation
√(4x+41)=x+5
1) x=2, √(4*2+41)=2+5, √49=7, 7=7 true
2) x=-8, √(4*(-8)+41)=-8+5, √9 =-3 false,
so an extraneous solution x=-8
