Let width of the floor be x feet, them area is
x(x+2)  = 168
x^2 + 2x - 168 = 0
(x - 12)(x + 14) - 0
so x = 12
the floor is 12 ft by 10 ft

the width of the rug should be 10 - 2(2) = 6 feet

In a school of 330 students, 85 of them are in a drama club, 200 of them are in a sports team and 60 of them do both
Neko [114]

Answer:

105/330 = 21/66 = 7/22

7/22 is the answer I think

Step-by-step explanation:

n(U) = 330

n(A) = 85

n(B) = 200

n(A n B) = 60

Now,

n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A n B)

or, n(A U B) = 85 + 200 - 60

or, n(A U B) = 285 - 60 = 225

Now,

n(A U B) compliment = n(U) - n(A U B)

n(A U B) compliment = 330 - 225

so, n(A U B) compliment = 105

Now,

probability = 105/330

(y+2)/(x+1)= (-6)/(-4)

(y+2)/(x+1)= (3/2)

Cross multiplying

2y+4= 3x+3
