Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Fractions</u>
To solve this problem we'll manage numbers as fractions to keep the precision up to the end of it.
Lynn has a box of crayons. It's given 4/9 of the crayons are blue. The remaining crayons are:
From that portion, 65% are red, or equivalently, 35% are yellow.
We write 35% as a fraction:
Thus, the portion of yellow crayons is:
This fraction of x crayons is equal to 14, thus:
x = 72
There are 72 crayons in the box
The total money is $2,178
Subtract 3x from both sides:
-6y = -3x + 6
divide both sides by -6 to get y by itself:
y = 1/2x - 1
function notation is rewriting y as a function:
f(x) = 1/2x -1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let : x the length and y the width .... ( x > y and x ; y reals numbers )
the perimeter is : 2(x+y)
2(x+y) = 55...(1)
x/y = 7/4 ...(2)
by (2) : x = (7/4)y
subsct in (1) : 2( (7/4)y +y ) =55
(7/2)y +2y =55
multiply by 2
7y +4y = 110
11y = 110
y = 10
x = (7/4)(10)
x = 35/2
