Inversely proportional means y=k/x, whereas k is constant. hence when y=45,x=20
45=k/20
k=900
ans: y=900/x

A rectangle has a length that is 5 inches greater than its width, and its area is 104 square inches. The equation (x + 5)x = 104

mina [271]

1. Regroup terms
x(x+5)=104

2. Expand
x^2+5x=104

3. Move all terms to one side
x^2+5x-104=0

4. Factor x^2+5x-104
(x-8)(x+13)=0

5. Solve for x
x=8 or x=-13
Since x<0 is not possible in this case, x=8

6. Finding the dimensions
We know that one side has to be x+5, and now that we know x:
8+5=13
13*8=104

The dimensions are 13 and 8, have a nice day :D

Answer:

76.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the proportion

$\frac{120}{100}$ → Percent is out of 100

$\frac{120}{100}$ = $\frac{n}{64}$ ( cross- multiply )

100n = 7680 ( divide both sides by 100 )

n = 76.8
