Let x be white marbles, y be yellow marbles
x+y=54…(1)
x=3y - 6 …(2)
put (2) into (1)
(3y - 6) + y = 54
4y = 60
y=15
put y=15 into (1)
x + 15=54
x=39
so y=15 x=39
That is correct.
Sqrt 5 x sqrt20
Apply the radical rule to get sqrt( 5 x 20)
Simplify to get sqrt(100)
Sqrt(100) = 10
Answer: Not possible
Step-by-step explanation: A whole number is an integer or a number without fractions. Both 15% and 40% are less than 1 since they are less than 100%; therefore, it is impossible to express them as whole numbers. They can only be expressed as the mixed numbers of 0.15 and 0.4, or 15/100 and 40/100.
