Let
x-----> the number of hours that Candice spent doing her homework
y-----> the number of hours that Ronald spent doing his homework
we know that
convert mixed number to an improper fraction
so
-------> equation A
------> equation B
Substitute equation A in equation B
convert an improper fraction to a mixed number
therefore
<u>the answer is the option B</u>
16
x * 3 = 48
so divide 48 by 3
which is 16 so x = 16
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
When you match the form
... ax² + bx + c = 0
to the equation
... 3x² + 5x + 7 = 0
it is reasonable to conclude that ...
... a = 3, b = 5, c = 7.
_____
The question presumes you are familiar with the form
... ax² +bx +c = 0
which is often used as the representation of a general quadratic equation. This lets us use a, b, and c instead of specific numbers, to talk about ways of factoring, graphing, or solving equations like this.
This is only my opinion. I could be wrong.
My guess is:
Somebody else used that book before you, maybe last year or
the year before, and it was somebody who didn't mind writing
in his book.
One day he didn't have time to write down the homework in his
assignment notebook, so he just circled the homework problems
in his textbook.
