Lets say w is the width of the flower bed. We can make an equation to find the area.
The length of the of the flower bed is (w+5) and the width is w.
To find the area we need to multiply the length(w+5) by the width(w) and set it equal to 84,
(w+5)(w)=84
w^2 +5w=84
Using the quadratic equation you get the solutions of 7 and -12. Since 7 is positive it is our width. Our length is 7+5 or 12.

G=x-c/x. for x<br><br>how do yoy make this an equation for x? help

zzz [600]

1.
$\displaystyle \text{if }\quad G=x- \frac{C}{x} \\\\$

$x \neq 0$

Multiply both sides by x:

$\displaystyle Gx=x\bigg(x- \frac{C}{x}\bigg )\\\\Gx=x^2-C$

Subtract from both sides Gx:
$Gx-Gx=x^2-C-Gx\\x^2-Gx-C=0$

Then solve this equation:

$\displaystyle x^2-Gx-C=0\\\\x_{1,2}= \frac{G\pm \sqrt{G^2+4C} }{2}$

2.
$\displaystyle\text{if}\quad G= \frac{x-C}{x}$

$x \neq 0$

Multiply both sides by x:

$Gx=x-C$

Subtract from both sides Gx:

$x-C-Gx=0$

Then solve this equation:

$\displaystyle x-Gx-C=0\\x(1-G)=C\\x= \frac{C}{1-G}$

You went shopping and found a pair of shoes that were $45.00 on sale for $27.50. what was the percent of decrease of the shoes?

Mandarinka [93]

Percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original number....* 100
= (45 - 27.5) / 45.....* 100
= 17.5 / 45....* 100
= 0.3888 * 100
= 38.9 % decrease <== thats rounded
