Mathematics

Elden [556K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Shalini = 12

Poonam = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = poonams age

Let s = shalini's age

p = 5s

p+s = 72

Substitute the first equation into the second equation

5s+s = 72

Combine like terms

6s= 72

Divide by 6

6s/6 = 72/6

s = 12

p = 5s =5*12 = 60

Shalini = 12

Poonam = 60

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 4 units. The area of the rectangle is 12 units. What is the width in units of the r
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

width = 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of a rectangle is (x) units, then that means that the width of a rectangle is x - 4 units.

the area of a rectangle is length * width

so just substitute the values that we have now.

x (length) * (x-4) width = 12 (area of rectangle)

so that gives us

x^2 - 4x =12

subtract 12 from both sides

x^2 - 4x - 12 =0

now factor this equation

x^2 + 2x - 6x -12 = 0

x(x+2) - 6(x+2) = 0

(x-6)(x+2) = 0

x = 6, or x = -2 REMEMBER THAT VALUE OF x = LENGTH, IT CANNOT BE NEGATIVE AS YOU CANT HAVE NEGATIVE VALUE OF A SIDE

length = 6, and width = 6 -4 = 2
