Answer:
37.7 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Measurements of Frankie's yard = 20ft x 32ft
He wants to build a path from one corner to another.
To find:
The length of path = ?
Solution:
Let us consider a rectangle 
as shown in the attached image in the answer area.
We are given the two adjacent sides of a rectangle and we have to find diagonal of the rectangle.
To find the diagonal, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
We are given the base and perpendicular of the right angled triangle and we have to find the hypotenuse.
According to Pythagorean theorem:
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost per item is found by dividing the cost by the number of items. If the woman bought n items for $120, the cost of each item is $120/n. If the woman bought 24 more items, n+24, at the same price, then the cost per item is $120/(n+24). The problem statement tells us this last cost is $16 less than the first cost:
120/(n+24) = (120/n) -16
Multiplying by n(n+24) gives ...
120n = 120(n+24) -16(n)(n+24)
0 = 120·24 -16n^2 -16·24n . . . . . . subtract 120n and collect terms
n^2 +24n -180 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -16 to make the numbers smaller
(n +30)(n -6) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor the quadratic
The solutions to this are the values of n that make the factors zero: n = -30, n = 6. The negative value of n has no meaning in this context, so n=6 is the solution to the equation.
The woman bought 6 items.
_____
Check
When the woman bought 6 items for $120, she paid $120/6 = $20 for each of them. If she bought 6+24 = 30 items for the same money, she would pay $120/30 = $4 for each item. That amount, $4, is $16 less than the $20 she paid for each item.
5 times a number plus two is 17
5(x) + 2 = 17
isolate the x, do the opposite of PEMDAS
(Note: What you do to one side you do to the other, because of equal sign)
5x + 2 (-2) = 17 (-2)
5x = 15
5x/5 = 15/5
x = 3
hope this helps
