The denominator of a fraction is four more than the numerator. If both numerator and denominator are decreased by one, the simplified result is 57. Find the original fraction. (Do NOT simplify.)

Answer:  16 1/4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the mowing rate for the first person, and B the rate for the second. X will be the time spent mowing.

We are told that A = 30 min/lawn.  B = 45 min/lawn.  These are conversion factors, so we can invert them to:

A =  1 lawn/30 min.  B = 1 lawn/45 min

If both work together, the amount of lawn that is mowed working togehterwould be the time, X (in minutes), spent times their individual rates:

X*(A + B) = Lawn Mowed

We want to know the time, X, it would take to mow the same 1 lawn together.  [Lawn Mowed = 1].  Use the equation:

X*(A + B) = Lawn Mowed

X*((1 lawn/30 min) + (1 lawn/45 min)) = 1

X/(30 min) + X/(45 min) = 1

X/30 + X/45= 1

X + X(30/35) = 30  {Multiply both sides by 30]

(1 + 30/35)X = 30

(65/35)X = 30

X = 30*(35/65)

X = 30/(7/13)

X = 30*(7/13)

X = 210/13

X =  16 1/4 minutes

Answer:

All of the equations seem to have infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the same equations are equal to each other, whatever you replace x with, it will be equal to the other equation's solution since all answers have equations equal to each other.

by Supplementing each answer Into the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

what don't you understand about this ? did you never solve 2 equations with 2 variables ?

it is really easy. there are 2 main approaches :

1. substitution. you use one of the two equations to express one variable by an expression purely in the other variable. then you use that in the other equation (resulting in one equation with one variable) and solve it. with that result you go back to the other equation and calculate the other variable.

2. equation arithmetic. when the terms of at least one of the variables are similar in both equations, you can multiply (if needed) one or both equations (left and right side !) by a fitting number and then add it subtract one equation from the other, so that you are left with one equation in one variable, which you solve. with that result you go back to any of the original equations and calculate the other variable.

there would be a third option for questions like this :

3. trial and error. simply put the point coordinates as x and y into both equations, and see for what point(s) both remain true.

but in order to show you the methodical approaches, we will use substitution for question 2 and equation arithmetic for question 3.

2)

2x + y = 5

-x + 2y = 5

I use the first equation to transform. and I get

y = 5 - 2x

with that I go into the second equation :

-x + 2(5 - 2x) = 5

-x + 10 - 4x = 5

-5x = -5

x = 1

and with that I get

y = 5 - 2×1 = 5 - 2 = 3

so, C (1, 3) is the right answer.

3)

2x + y = 7

-x + y = 1

let's subtract the second equation from the first :

2x + y = 7

- -x + y = 1

------------------

3x + 0 = 6

3x = 6

x = 2

with that I go into one of the original equations :

-2 + y = 1

y = 3

so, A (2, 3) is the right answer.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{400}{(10\sqrt{2} + 14\sqrt{3}) }= h[/tex]   or  10.42 = h

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is [tex]A = \frac{1}{2}h(b_{1} + b_{2} )[/tex].

[tex]200 = \frac{1}{2}h(10\sqrt{2} + 14\sqrt{3})[/tex]

[tex]400 = { h(10\sqrt{2} + 14\sqrt{3} )[/tex]             Multiply both sides by 2

[tex]\frac{400}{(10\sqrt{2} + 14\sqrt{3}) }= h[/tex]

 [tex]\frac{400}{38.39} = h[/tex]

10.42 = h  

Answer:

4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

All sides are proportional, so choose a pair and find the proportion

Ex: AB and JK = 7/5=1.4

so each side is multiplied by 1.4 to get the larger figure

So 3*1.4=4.2

2.5 is the scale dilation.

Answer:

x = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] - 4x + [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] = - 9x + [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 3, 2 and 6 ) to clear the fractions

4 - 24x + 21 = - 54x + 5 , that is

25 - 24x = - 54x + 5 ( add 54x to both sides )

25 + 30x = 5 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

30x = - 20 ( divide both sides by 30 )

x = [tex]\frac{-20}{30}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

150 + 3x = 369 X= 73

Step-by-step explanation:

X is the amount of days

So 150 minus 369 would be 219

Then take 219/3 and that would mean X equals 73

Ok, so you are given an equation in standard form, 5x+4y=2, and a point, (7, 5). You are being asked to write the equation for a line that is parallel to the equation in standard from, and that includes the point (7, 5).  

First, let's start by finding the slope of your new line. We know that it needs to have the same slope as 5x+4y=2, because parallel lines have the same slopes. To do that, we need to put the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), which means we need to isolate the "y."  

 5x+4y=2

-5x     -5x  (subtract 5x from both sides to move it to the right side of your equation)

4y = 2 - 5x

/4  /4  /4 (divide all the terms by 4 to get "y" by itself)

y = (1/2) - (5/4)x  ... I suggest leaving your slope as a fraction.

Now, we know that our slope, m , is going to be -(5/4).  

Next, we are going to use our slope, -(5/4), and point, (7, 5), to find the b-value (y-intercept) of your new line. Let's plug in what we know:

y = 5

m = -(5/4)

x = 7

y=mx+b

5=(-5/4)(7) + b  -> I plugged in what we knew for y, m, and x.  

5 = -(35/4) + b  -> I multiplied the numbers in the numerator (5 x 7) to get 35/4

20/4 = -(35/4) + b -> I converted 5 into a faction with a denominator of 4 by multiplying by (4/4)

+(35/4) +(35/4)  -> I add (35/4) to both sides to isolate b

55/4 = b ... or b = 13.74

Answer:  

m = -(5/4)

b = 13.75

The equation perpendicular to the line going through the points (5, -1) and (7, -5) is [tex]y=\frac{1}{2} x-\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

The line passes through the points (5, -1) and (7, -5)

That is [tex]x_1=5, y_1=-1, x_2=7, y_2=-5[/tex]

Calculate the slope(m) using the formula below:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\\m=\frac{-5-(-1)}{7-5} \\\\m=\frac{-4}{2}\\\\m=-2[/tex]

The equation of the new line perpendicular to the line above will be given as:

[tex]y-y_1=\frac{-1}{m} (x-x_1)\\\\y-(-1)=\frac{-1}{-2} (x-5)\\\\y+1=\frac{1}{2}(x-5)\\\\y=\frac{1}{2} x-\frac{5}{2} -1\\\\y=\frac{1}{2} x-\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

The equation perpendicular to the line going through the points (5, -1) and (7, -5) is [tex]y=\frac{1}{2} x-\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
