Start with the relationship
1 liter = 1000 mL
and multiply it by 1.5 to get
1.5 liter = 1500 mL
The appropriate choice is
(B) 1,500 mL
The equation to represent the area of the triangle would be:
y = 1/2(x²) - (7/2)x
The equation to represent the perimeter of the triangle would be:
y = 3x - 6
The solutions to the system would be (12, 30) or (1, -3). The only viable solution is (12, 30).
Explanation
The area of a triangle is found using the formula
A = 1/2bh
For our triangle, b = x and h = x-7, so we have:
A = 1/2(x)(x-7)
A = 1/2(x²-7x)
A = 1/2(x²) - (7/2)x
We will replace A with y, so we have:
y = 1/2(x²) - (7/2)x
The perimeter of a triangle is found by adding together all sides, so we have:
P = (x-7) + x + (x+1)
Combining like terms we get:
P = 3x - 6
We will replace P with y, so we have:
y = 3x - 6
Since both equations have y isolated on one side, it will be easy to use substitution to solve the system:
3x - 6 = 1/2(x²) - (7/2)x
It's easier to work with whole numbers, so we will multiply everything by 2:
6x - 12 = x² - 7x
We want all of the variables on one side, so we will subtract 6x:
6x - 12 - 6x = x² - 7x - 6x
-12 = x² - 13x
When solving quadratics, we want the equation equal to 0, so we will add 12:
-12+12 = x² - 13x + 12
0 = x² - 13x + 12
This is easy to factor, as there are factors of 12 that sum to -13; -12(-1) = 12 and -12+-1 = -13:
0 = (x-12)(x-1)
Using the zero product property, we know that either x-12=0 or x-1=0; therefore x=12 or x=1.
Putting these back into our equation for perimeter (the simplest one) we have:
y = 3(12)-6 = 36-6 = 30; (12, 30);
y = 3(1) - 6 = 3 - 6 = -3; (1, -3)
We cannot have a negative perimeter, so the only viable solution is (12, 30).
441 is odd, so we can't divide it by 2.
Since the sum of its digits is 
, which is divisible by 3, we can divide 441 by 3, and we have
Which is still divisible by 3, because 
. We have
49 is not divisible by 3 anymore, nor by 5 (it doesn't end with 0 or 5).
It is divisible by 7 though, we have
and finally,
So, the factorization of 441 is
The equation given in the question has one unknown variable in the ofrm of "x" and there is also a single equation. So it can be definitely pointed out that the exact value of the unknown variable "x" can be easily determined. Now let us focus on the equation given in the question.
x/35 = 7
x = 35 * 7
x = 245
So we can find from the above deduction that the value of the unknown variable "x" is 245. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "B". I hope the procedure is not complicated for you to clearly understand.
its 3 1/4 you will thank me later :)
