Mathematics

<span>Let x be the width of the frame. 
Area of the picture is 5*7 = 35 sq in</span>

Area of the frame given as the same, frame = 35 sq in also

<span>
Therefore the total area (picture & frame) will be 70 sq in</span>

<span>

A simple equation would be made and it will look like this: (7+2x) * (5+2x) = 70

</span>

<span>Using the FOIL method
35 + 14x + 10x + 4x^2 = 70
4x^2 + 24x + 35 - 70 = 0; subtract 70 from both sides:
4x^2 + 24x - 35 = 0</span>

<span>
unluckily this will not factor easily, so we should use the quadratic equation:
where: a = 4; b = 24; c = -35</span><span>
</span><span> x = -b sqrt b^2 – 4*a*c divided by 2 * a</span><span>

  x = -24</span> ±<span> sqrt 24^2 -4*4*(-35) divided by 2*4

 x = -24 </span>±<span>sqrt 576 - -(560) divided by 8

 x = -24 </span>± sqrt 576 + 560 divided by 8<span>

 x = -24 </span>± sqrt1136  divided by 8<span>

 x = -24 + 33.7046 divided by 8
x =   9.7046 divided by 8
x =1.213 inches is the answer</span>

<span> </span>

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The us based motorcycle manufacturer says that it expects to build 140,000 motorcycles this year up from 126,000 last year.

This means the increased production is

144,000 - 126,000 = 18,000

The percentage change in production can

be found using the formula as listed below

PERCENTAGE INCREASE = change / initial × 100

Substitute the values we get
