Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

pull 2 from top

we are looking to cancel (x-5) so will start with
(x - 5)(x + 3), selected (x+3) because the sign must be negative and must multiply to -15
now cancel (x-5)

This is a proportion problem.
Let's make her Length x and her height 1/3 x.
1/3 x = 20 inches
x = 6 2/3 inches
Molly's height is 6 2/3 inches.
Check it.
6 2/3 x 3 = ? (change the mixed number to a fraction)
20/3 x 3 = ? (multiply)
60/3 = ? (divide)
20 inches. Yes, it checks.
Length: w+4
Width:w
Perimeter:44
Area: L times w
P=44
44=2(w)+2(w+4)
44=2w+2w+8
44=4w+8
36=4w
w=9
L=w+4
L=9+4
L=13
Area should equal 117 cm squared
20*65 = 1300
That's the price without tax.
Now to find tax:
1300*.035 = 45.5
1300+45.5 = $1345.5
$1345.5 is your total
The first two negatives cancel out and you're left with positive 4. Now go inside the square root and do the exponent. -4*-4 = 16. Then do the -4*3*1 = -12. Do 16-12 = 4. now the square root of 4 = 2. at the dominator is 2*3 = 6. right now they problem should look like 4+- 2/ 6. from there you split the problem in two. so you have 4+2/6 & 4-2/6 then you solve both problems.
6/6 2/6
1 1/3
1 & 1/3 are your answers. I hope this helped!
