Number of pets and number of siblings
Hello!
First you to do 65 * 0.20
0.20 is 20% as a decimal
65 * 0.20 = 13
$13 is how much John saves.
To find out how much the skateboard cost you subtract how much he saved by the cost of the skateboard
65 - 13 = 52
The skateboard cost $52
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 0, 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The zero-product property states that if the product of a and b is zero, then either a = 0, b = 0, or both terms equal zero
- Here our a term is -x and our b term is (5x - 4)
- Setting each term equal to zero and solving for x we get
- -x = 0 → x = 0
- 5x - 4 = 0 → 5x = 4 → x = 4/5
Answer:
Step 1 is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is :
In step 1, Deepak rearranged the terms in order to simplify like terms together that is followed in step 2.
o, rearranging of the terms of an expression is commutative property and not distributive property. The distributive property is generally applicable to multiplication and is given as:
The commutative property is given as:
x+y = y +a
Therefore, adding terms by changing their order is commutative property of addition and not distributive property. Step 1 instruction is wrong.
Answer:
The area of the rectangle is 1222 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(L + W), where L is its length and W is its width
The formula of the area of a rectangle is A = L × W
∵ The length of a rectangle is 5 less than twice the width
- Assume that the width of the rectangle is x units and multiply
x by 2 and subtract 5 from the product to find its length
∴ W = x
∴ L = 2x - 5
- Use the formula of the perimeter above to find its perimeter
∵ P = 2(2x - 5 + x)
∴ P = 2(3x - 5)
- Multiply the bracket by 2
∴ P = 6x - 10
∵ The perimeter of the rectangle is 146 units
∴ P = 146
- Equate the two expression of P
∴ 6x - 10 = 146
- Add 10 to both sides
∴ 6x = 156
- Divide both sides by 6
∴ x = 26
Substitute the value of x in W and L expressions
∴ W = 26 units
∴ L = 2(26) - 5 = 52 - 5
∴ L = 47 units
Now use the formula of the area to find the area of the rectangle
∵ A = 47 × 26
∴ A = 1222 units²
∴ The area of the rectangle is 1222 units²
