Reduce the Fraction: a(x-2y)/b(2y-x)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle-\frac{a}{b}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

[tex]\displaystyle{\frac{a(x-2y)}{b(2y-x)}[/tex]

In the denominator, we can factor out a negative 1. This yields:

[tex]=\displaystyle\frac{a(x-2y)}{-b(x-2y)}[/tex]

We can now cancel out the factor. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle=-\frac{a}{b}[/tex]

A school had 225 students enrolled last year. This year, 260 students are enrolled. Find the percent of change to the
nearest percent.

Answers

Answer:

15.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

No of students that had enrolled last year = 225

This year, 260 students are enrolled.

We need to find the percent of change in the number of students. It can be calculated as :

P = (change in no of students/initial no of students)×100

[tex]\%=\dfrac{260-225}{225}\times 100\\\\=15.5\%[/tex]

So, the percent change is 15.5%.

how many meters of fencing is needed? Round to the nearest whole number? Use 3.14 for .

Answers

Answer:

1571m

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

the diameter of the farm= 500m

the radius will be d/2

= 500/2

r=250m

Step two:

Required

The perimeter fence for the farm

this is also the same as the circumference of the farm

C=2πr

C=2*3.142*250

C=1571m

Hence the needed length of fence is 1571m

In a three-digit number, the tens digit is the same as the hundreds digit. The ones digit of this number is equal to 1/3 of the sum of the other two digits. Find the number if the sum of all its digit is equal to 24.

Answers

Answer:

996

Step-by-step explanation:

the three digit number is;

996

Step-by-step explanation:

The three digit can be written xyz

ones digit is equal to 1/3 the sum of the two other digits

z = 1/3(x + y)

x + y + z = 24

Tens digit is same as hundreds digit

That means x = y

z = 1/3 (x + x) = 2x/3

So;

2x/3 + x + x = 24

Multiply through by 3

2x + 3(2x) = 72

8x = 72

x = 72/8

x = 9

x = y = 9

z = 1/3(18)

z = 6

M is the midpoint of line segment LN. Find the length of LN

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question;

M is the midpoint of line segment LN. If LM= 3x + 5 and LN= 5x + 40, find the length of LN.

Since M is the midpoint of LN, hence LM + MN = LN and LM = MN

LM + LM = LN

2LM = LN ..... *

Given;

LM= 3x + 5

LN= 5x + 40

Substitute into the eqn *

2(3x+5) = 5x+40

6x+10 = 5x+40

6x-5x = 40-10

x = 30

Get the length LN

LN= 5x + 40

LN = 5(30)+40

LN = 150+40

LN = 190

Hence the length of LN is 190

Answer:

190

A game is played using ne die. If the die is rolled and shows 3, the player wins $45. If the die shows any number other than 3, the player wins nothing. If there is a charge of $9 to play the game, what is the game's expected value?

Answers

Answer:

-$13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable of a count of player gain.

- We are told that if the die shows 3, the player wins $45.

- there is a charge of $9 to play the game

If he wins, he gains; 45 - 9 = $36

If he looses, he has a net gain which is a loss = -$9

Thus, the x-values are; (36, -9)

Probability of getting a 3 which is a win is P(X) = 1/6 since there are 6 numbers on the dice and probability of getting any other number is P(X) = 5/6

Thus;

E(X) = Σ(x•P(X)) = (1/6)(36) + (5/6)(-9)

E(X) = (1/6)(36 - (5 × 9))

E(X) = (1/6)(36 - 45)

E(X) = -9/6 = -3/2

E(X) = -3/2

This represents -3/2 of $9 = -(3/2) × 9 = - 27/2 = -$13.5

Each marble bag sold by Mary's Marble Company contains 5 blue marbles for every 4 purple
marbles. If a bag has 35 blue marbles, how many purple marbles does it contain?

Answers

Answer:

The total no. of purple marbles will be:

[tex] \boxed{ \underline{ \rm{28}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that for every 5 blue marbles, we have 4 purple marbles. And similarly we have to find for the no. of purple marbles for 35 blue marbles.

First, Let's divide these 35 blue marbles in groups of 5. We will get:

➝ 35 ÷ 5 = 7 groups

For each group of 5 marbles, there are 4 purple marbles. So for 7 groups, No. of purple marbles will be:

➝ 4 × 7 = 28 purple marbles.

Answers

Answer:

Correct answer is option C. 354.9 mL

The volume of soap that Ryan measured is 354.9 mL. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Given that, for the volume of soap in a bottle, Ryan determined the margin of error as 354.85 mL to 354.95 mL.

We need to find the volume of soap that he measured.

What is the margin of error?

A margin of error tells you how many percentages points your results will differ from the real population value.

Now, the margin of error is 354.85 - 354.95

The volume=354.9 mL (Mid value of 354.85 - 354.95 )

The volume of soap that Ryan measured is 354.9 mL. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Suppose x = 11 which is prime.

If DG = 60ft, solve for GO

Answers

Answer:

A: 35

Step-by-step explanation:

DG is the combined segments DO and OG. In other words:

[tex]DG=DO+OG[/tex]

We know that DG is 60. DO is (4x-3) and OG is (2x+21). So, substitute:

[tex]60=(4x-3)+(2x+21)[/tex]

Solve for x. Combine like terms:

[tex]60=6x+18[/tex]

Subtract 18 from both sides:

[tex]42=6x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 6. Hence, the value of x is:

[tex]x=7[/tex]

GO is defined as (2x+21).

So, to find GO, we can now substitute 7 for x and evaluate. Therefore:

[tex]GO=2(7)+21=14+21=35[/tex]

Hence, our answer is A.
