Well you can automatically eliminate, A, because when you multiply one number that's positive and another number that's negative the result is always going to be negative.
However, when you multiply two negatives the result is always positive!
So, the only ones up there that would result in a positive number is B and C
***D. was not posted so I cannot determine that one!
We are asked to solve for the value of "x" such that when it is added in the original area of the park it will double the area. Let us compute first the area of the original dog park (A1) and the solution is shown below:
Area = Lenght*Width = L*W where L=30 yards and W=20 yards
Area = 30*20
Area = 600 yards squared
Solving for the x, when x is added to both sides which double the area:
A1*2 = (L + 2x)*W
600*2 = (30+2x)*20
1200 / 20 = 30+2x
60 = 30 + 2x
60-30 = 2x
30/2 =x
15 = x
The value of x is 15 yards.
Do you know what you are suppose to do first
Only the first statement is true.
