<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>

A college writing seminar increased its size by 50\PP, percent from the first to the second day. If the total number of students
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: There were 10 students in the class on the first day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of students of the first day.

Given: A college writing seminar increased its size by 50 percent from the first to the second day.

i.e. Number of students on second day = (Number of students on first day)+(50% of Number of students on first day)

= x +50% of x

= x+0.50x

= (1.50)x

=1.50x

Since, it is given that  the total number of students in the seminar on the second day was 15.

i.e. 1.50x=15

\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{15}{1.5}\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{150}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=10

Hence, there were 10 students in the class on the first day.
