1/2a - 1/2 = 1/2(a - 1)
You can factor out the 1/2.
75 (your whole) / .55 (percentage) =41.25
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to factorize the given area of the rectangle as shown;
Given
A(x) = x^2-10x+16
Factorize
A(x) = x²-8x-2x+16
A(x) = (x²-8x)-(2x+16)
A(x) = x(x-8)-2(x-8)
A(x) = (x-2)(x-8)
Since area of a rectangle = length ×width
Hence the binomial that represents the width of the pool is w(x) = x-2
b) If the width of the deck is 17feet
Width = x-2
17 = x-2
x = 17+2
x = 19feet
Get the length
Length = x-8
Length = 19-8
Length = 11
Get the perimeter
P = 2(L+W)
P = 2(17+11)
P =2(28)
P = 56feet
Perimeter of the deck is 56feet
The fraction 1/3 means 1 out of 3 equally divided parts, so 12 needs to be equally divided into 3 groups. Have students divide the 12 stars into 3 equal groups. Each of the 3 equally divided groups is 1/3 of the total. Thus, 1/3 of 12 is the number in 1group, or 4.
4b is equivalent to b+b+b+b
