17/51=8/x <-- Cross multiply
17x=408 <-- Divide 17 by both sides
x=24
The shortest side is 24 or B.
Answer:
(x-y) (a+x-y)
Step-by-step explanation:
(y-x)=-(x-y)
-a(y-x) = a(x-y)
(x-y)^2 = (x-y)(x-y)
(x-y)(a + x - y)
-4d + 2(3+d)= -14
distribute the 2(3+d)
-4d + 6+ 2d= -14
Combine the like terms
-4d + 2d + 6= -14
-2d + 6 = -14
subtract 6 to -14
-2d = -20
divide by -2
d= -20/-2
d= 10
Check your answer
-4(10) + 2(3+ 10) = -14
-40 + 6 + 20
-40 + 26= -14
¾ an hour is 45 minutes
So to have your answers you need to do a cross product :
45 minutes —> 2/3 of a chapter
60 minutes —> X of a chapter
((2/3) • 60) / 45
40/45 = 8/9
Answer : You read 8/9 of a chaper per hour! :)
