Hello! So Sophia cuts two pieces of ribbon that are different lengths and lines them up together. To find the total length of the two ribbons, let's add them up. Because there is no digit in the thousandths place, we'll fill that in with a zero. Now, let's add up the numbers. 9.281 + 7.740 = 17.021. There. The total length of the ribbons is 17.021 cm long.
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8x - 11/2 = 3/4
Multiply each side by 8 to clear the fractions
8(5/8x - 11/2 = 3/4)
5x - 44 = 6
Add 44 to each side
5x-44+4= 6+4
5x= 50
Divide by 5
5x/5 = 50/5
x =10
Answer: you bought 9 burgers and 16 tacos
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of burgers that you bought.
Let y represent the number of tacos that you bought.
You buy a total of 25 burgers and tacos. It means that
x + y = 25
The burgers cost $3.50 each and the tacos cost $2.25 each. The total cost of the burgers and tacos that you bought is $67.50. It means that
3.5x + 2.25y = 67.5- - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 25 - y into 1, it becomes
3.5(25 - y) + 2.25y = 67.5
87.5 - 3.5y + 2.25y = 67.5
- 3.5y + 2.25y = 67.5 - 87.5
- 1.25y = - 20
y = - 20/ - 1.25
y = 16
x = 25 - y = 25 - 16
x = 9
Answer:
2x^2+4x-16
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic can be written as
f(x) = a(x-z1)(x-z2) where z1 and z2 are the roots
f(x) = a (x-2)(x- -4)
a is the leading coefficient
f(x) = 2(x-2)(x+4)
= 2(x^2 -2x+4x-8)
= 2(x^2 +2x-8)
= 2x^2 +4x-16
The present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the present age of Jane be "x"
Let the present age of her sister be "y"
<em><u>Jane is 5 times older than her sister</u></em>
present age of Jane = 5(present age of her sister)
x = 5y ---------- eqn 1
<em><u>In 3 years, Jane’s sister will be 1/4 her age</u></em>
Age of sister after 3 years = 3 + y
Age of jane after 3 years = 3 + x
Age of sister after 3 years = 1/4(age of jane after 3 years)
Substitute eqn 1 in above equation
Substitute y = 9 in eqn 1
x = 5(9)
x = 45
Thus present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old
