Well on this problem recall area of a rectangle is defined by:
A = lw our w = 1/6 and our l = (x +
) we have let 'x' represent our original length.
12x + 8 = 11
12x = 11 - 8
12x = 3
x =
So our original length is
Answer:
£14,168
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = x + 12
y + x = 52
x = 20
y = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a system of linear equations using x and y to represent the players on the soccer and field hockey team respectively:
y = x + 12 (this shows how many players are on the hockey team)
y + x = 52 (this shows that there are 52 players total from both teams)
Solve for the variables using either elimination or substitution:
y + x = 52
(x + 12) + x = 52
2x + 12 = 52
2x = 40
x = 20
Then plug x into the first equation:
y = x + 12
y = (20) + 12
y = 20 + 12
y = 32
A^5 should be your answer
Since both y squared and 6y have a common factor of y, can put that to the side and divide both the y squared and 6y to get the second step of the work shown above. Separate both the y on the outside of the parentheses and the numbers within the parentheses and set them both equal to 0 as shown in step 3 of the work shown above. Finally solve for y as you would normally. Those two number in step 4 should be your final answer.
