Answer:
x=17
Step-by-step explanation
i just did the exact same question on a test and got it right .
Step-by-step explanation:
the ratio of the pool lengths is 3/5.
that means for every 3 meters of length on Shantel's pool, there are 5 meters of length on Juan's pool.
it the other way around : to get to the size of Shantel's pool, every 5 meters of length on Juan's pool are converted to 3 meters.
x = length of Juan's pool
x × 3/5 = 30
3x = 150
x = 50 meters
you see the relationship ?
3/5 = 30/50 = 300/500 = ...
but it is true for any factor
3/5 = 15/25 = 24/40 = 6/10 = ...
once you see the factor for one part of the ratio, you know there is the same factor for the other part (or parts) of the ratio. otherwise the ratio would not stay the same and keep the relationship.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation that will model this situation will be of the form
where 
is the time in hours john has traveled since the gas station, and 
is the distance.
Now we know that John has already traveled 20 miles when he is at the gas station, this means at 
, 
; or
Thus we have
.
Now we need to figure out 
When John reaches home 2 hours later he notes that he has traveled 30 miles, which means he has traveled 30 - 20 = 10 miles; thus we have
Now we have the full equation:
3x+4y=12
9x-2y=15
we will use elimination
multiply 3x+4y=12 by -3
-9x-12y=-36
9x-2y=15
_________ add
-14y=-21
÷-14 both sides
y=1.5
find x
3x+4 (1.5)=12
3x+6=12
-6 both sides
3x=6
÷3 both sides
x=2
x=2
y=1.5
Answer:
1 3/4 - a<3/4
proof:
1 3/4 -a<3/4
=>1 3/4 - 1 3/4 -a<3/4- 1 3/4
=>-a<-1
=>a>1
