Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of rectangle = Length × Width
The given rectangle has a length if x meters
The width of the triangle is (x-3) meters
The area of the rectangle is given as 10 square meters.
Area if rectangle = x(x-3) = 10
Multiplying each term in the parentheses,
x^2 -3x = 10
x^2 -3x -10 = 0
This is a quadratic equation
We will look for two numbers such that when they are multiplied, it will give us -10x^2 and when they are added, it will give -3x. It becomes
x^2 + 2x - 5x -10 = 0
x(x+2)-5(x+2) =0
( x + 2)(x-5) = 0
x = -2 or x = 5
The length of the rectangle cannot be negative so the length is 5 meters
Widith = x+3 = 5-3 = 2 meters
The answer is 3:9 because it says that he sold 3 out of the 12 paintings and so it asks first of how many did he sell and he sold three and how many did he not sell and so it's nine left
Answer:
2.492
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Ishaan is 49 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of Christopher be 'C'.
Let the present age of Ishaan be 'I'.
From the given data, we can form equations which will help us solve the problem.
Christopher is 20 years younger than Ishaan. This means:
C = I - 20 . . . (1)
Fourteen years ago, Ishaan would have been (I -14) years old and Christopher (C - 14) years old.
From the data, I - 14 = 3(C - 14) . . . (2)
Substituting the value of C in Equation 2, we get:
I - 14 = 3(I - 20 - 14)
⇒ I - 14 = 3(I - 34)
⇒ I - 14 = 3I - 112
⇒ 2I = 112 + 14 = 98
⇒ I = 49
So, Ishaan is 49 years old.
