two partners divide a profit of $2,000 so that's a difference between the two amounts is half of their average. what is the ratio of the larger to the smaller amount?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The partners have a total profit of $2000. Since there are only 2 partners, then the average profit each one makes is $2000/2 = $1000.

The difference between the 2 amounts is half of the average, so it is $1000/2 = $500.

One amount is x.

The other amount is x + 500

The sum is 2000

x + x + 500 = 2000

2x + 500 = 2000

2x = 1500

x = 750

x + 500 = 750 + 500 = 1250

The partners had profit of $1250 and $750.

The ratio is 1250/750 = 125/75 = 5/3

Answer: 5/3

Answer 2

The ratio of the larger to the smaller amount will be 5 : 3

What are ratios?

A ratio says how much of one thing there is compared to another thing. We can write the ratio as -

x : y

{x/y} = k

x = ky

[k] is called the scale factor.

Given is that two partners divide a profit of $2,000 so that's a difference between the two amounts is half of their average.

Assume that the amount with partner [1] is $[x] and with partner [2] is $[y]

. So, we can write according to the question as -

x + y = 2000      ......Eq [1]

x - y = {1/2 x (x + y)/2}     ......Eq [2]

Now -

x - y = {1/2 x (2000/2)}

x - y = {1/2 x 1000}

x - y = 500

x = 500 + y

So, we can write the equation [1] as -

x + y = 2000

500 + y + y = 2000

2y = 1500

y = 750

So, [x] will be equivalent to -

x = 2000 - 750

x = 1250

The ratio of the larger to the smaller amount will be -

x/y = 1250/750 = 250/150 = 50/30 = 5/3

Therefore, the ratio of the larger to the smaller amount will be 5 : 3.

x2 + x < 20

Answers

Answer:

x<18

Step-by-step explanation:

2+x<20

Answer:

(-5, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + x < 20 can be rewritten as a quadratic in standard form:  x^2 + x - 20 < 0.  Recognize that the graph of x^2 + x - 20 is that of a parabola that opens up.  Because the y-intercept (0, -20) is below the x-axis, we know for certain tht the graph intersects the x-axis in two places.  Our job is to determine the two horizontal intercepts, which in turn determine the solution set.

x^2 + x - 20 = 0 factors as follows:  (x + 5)(x - 4) = 0, whose roots are -5 and 4.

These two roots form 3 intervals:  (-infinity, -5), (-5, 4) and (4, infinity).   We now must identify on which intervals x^2 + x - 20 is less than 0 (that is, on which intervals the graph is below the x-axis).  Choose three test values for x:  the first could be -6 (which is in the set (-infinity, -5) ); x^2 + x - 20 is + there, and so the graph is above the x-axis and x^2 + x - 20 is positive.  Reject this.  

Next, test x = 0; x^2 + x - 20 is negative there, meaning that x^2 + x - 20 < 0 and that x^2 + x < 20.  Thus, the solution is (-5, 4).  It can be shown that x^2 + x - 20 is positive again for x-values within the interval (4, infinity).

A store manager combines 2 lb of trail mix that contains some cashew nuts with 30 lb
of trail mix that is 20% cashews. The result is a trail mix that is 25% cashews. What is the concentration of cashews in the first mixture?

Answers

Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  p = percent of cashews in first mix

2p = lb. of cashews in first mix

30(.20) =  6 = lb. of cashews in second mix

32(.25) =  8 = lb. of cashews in the combined mix

So,

lb. of cashews in first mix +  lb. of cashews in second mix = lb. of cashews in the combined mix

2p + 6 = 8

2p = 2

p = 1 = 100%

where x is the central angle measure and r is the radius.

The radius is 6 and the central angle is 48 so let plug that in the formula

Answers

Answer:

A circle is centered at the point (-3,2) and passes through the point (1,5). The radius of the circle is (5 ) units. the point (-7, -1) and point (-7, 5) lies in this circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

equation of circle is

(X-center_X)^2 + (y-center_Y)^2 = r^2

==> (x+3)^2 + (y-2)^2 = r^2

Now it passes 1,5 so

4^2+3^2 = 5^2

==> r = 5

What is factorization?

A number or other mathematical object is factorised or factored in mathematics by expressing it as the product of numerous factors, often smaller or simpler things of the same sort. The four primary methods of factoring are the Grouping technique, the Difference in Two Squares, the Sum or Difference in Cubes, and the Greatest Common Factor (GCF). Numerous issues might be resolved by using the factoring of integers. Similar to this, factoring is an extremely effective method in algebra that is utilised at all levels. It offers a common approach to simplifying complex statements as well as, of course, solving quadratic equations.

The equation becomes:

= 4x² - 26x + 30

= 2 (2x² - 13x + 15)

= 2 (2x² - 10x - 3x + 15)

= 2 {2x (x - 5) - 3 (x - 5)}

= 2 (2x - 3) (x - 5)
