So since her balance must be at least 500, her ballance cannot reach 500
so 794-500=294
see how many 25's you can fit into 294
we know that 4 25's =100 and 294 is roughly 300
so 4 times 3=12
we minus one of the 25's because 294 is less than 300 so
the innequality is
>means more than
794-25x>500
Here is how you do it....
You will subtract 500 minus 225 to get the number of tails. The number of tails is 275.
Now, you know your ratio is 225:500. All you need to do is simplify it.
225 divided by 25 is 9 and 500 divided by 25 is 20.
Now, the ratio that you have is 9:20.
Hello!!
P (Passing a qualifying examination) = 3/4
P (Being appointed if he does pass) = 3/8
P (Recieve the job) = 3/4 × 3/8 = 9/24
Good luck :)
Let the first integer be x. Then the next consecutive integer is x+1.
Translating the word problem into symbols, x(x+1)-20(x+1) = 442.
Then x^2 + x - 20x - 20 = 442
or x^2 - 19x - 462 = 0
Solve by completing the square:
x^2 - 19x + 90.25 - 90.25 - 462 = 0
(x-9.5)^2 - 552.25 = 0
Taking the positive square root of both sides, we get x-9.5 = 23.5, or
x = 33
The two consecutive integers are 33 and 34.
Check: (33)(34)-20(34) = 442 (as expected).
2x+4x-4=2+4x
2x+4x-4x=2+4
2x=6
x=3
25-x=15-3x-10
3x-x= 15-10-25
2x= -20
x= -10
4x=2x+2x+5x-5x
2x+2x+5x-5x-4x
