Halving-reduce by half or think what is fifty% of the number or divide by two
doubling-add the number you got to the same number or multiply by two
Halving Ex.:6/2=3
Doubling ex.: 9+9=18 or 6*2=12
The answer is the first one
Answer:
b=3, y=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Label the 2 equations:
2b +6y= 42 -----(1)
2b +4y= 30 -----(2)
(1) -(2):
(2b +6y) -(2b +4y)= 42 -30
2b +6y -2b -4y= 12
2y= 12
y= 12 ÷2 <em>(</em><em>÷</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>
y= 6
Susbt. y=6 into (2):
2b +4(6)= 30
2b +24=30
2b= 30 -24 <em>(</em><em>-24</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>o</em><em>t</em><em>h</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>
2b= 6
b= 6 ÷2
b= 3
Answer:
Perimeter of the smaller triangle = 1.75x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two equal sides of an isosceles triangle = x
Therefore, length of the base = 
Perimeter of this isosceles triangle = x + x + 
= 2x + 
= 2x + x + 
= 
Since, smaller triangle has a perimeter that is half the perimeter of the larger triangle,
Length of each corresponding side of smaller triangle will be half of the larger triangle.
Length of sides of the smaller triangle = 
Perimeter of the smaller triangle = 
= x + 
= 
= 
= 
= 1.75x
Therefore, expression that represents the perimeter of the smaller triangle is (1.75x)
So as the path adds an extra 2 feet to each side I would start this by adding two feet to each part (so 25+2 x 38+2) which leaves you with 27ft by 40ft. Multiply to find this total area, which results in 1080. Now, you want to remove the actual area of the garden itself as this is not part of the path. So 25x38=950. Subtract 1080 by 950. This gives you just the area of the gardens path which would be
