I’m can’t freakin stay up I need to sleep and I need to get 4 papers done for my portfolio I can’t help but I wish you luck
Answer:
9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
So you divide 48 Divided by 5 wich equals 9.6 HOPE THIS HELPS
This is a question of proportionality. However, it is not direct proportionality as it is expected that as the number of tractors increases, the work is finished faster as opposed to fewer number of tractors. This is referred to as inverse proportionality.
Therefore;
6 tractors ----- 10 days
18 tractors --- x days
Then,
x = (6*10)/18 = 10/3 days = 3 days, and 8 hours.
This means that 18 tractors will take 3 days and 8 hours to collect the same harvest.
I would add 7 to get ...
... 2x² = 16
then divide by 2 to get
... x² = 8
Now, I would take the square root, recognizing that both positive and negative values will solve the problem.
... x = ±√8
The root can be simplified, so we have ...
... x = ±2√2
_____
The above method seemed the most obvious method to me. One could use the quadratic formula, but that seems to involve more operations.
... 2x² -16 = 0 . . . . subtract 9
... x = (-0 ± √(0² -4·2·(-16)))/(2·2) . . . . put the coefficients into the formula
... x = ±(√128)/4 = ±√8 = ±2√2 . . . . . simplify the result
