6 feet because 8 / 12 reduces to 2 / 3 and you multiply 2 times 3

Hi there.

So, we've got the dimensions. 

<em>l</em> = 12, <em /><em>w</em> = 8

We know that the width has been divided by 4. That means we also divide the length by 4. This gives us the new dimensions of:

<em>l</em> = 3, <em>w</em> = 2

A = <em>lw</em> 

3 · 2 = 6 ft²

Cheers~

mixer [17]

Answer:

226

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle:

x+6=17

x=11

11+6=17

11+3=14

17×14=238

Area of triangle:

\frac{1}{2}  \times b \times h

Use phytagoras theorem to find the base of the triangle:

c²=a²+b²

5²=4²+b²

25=16+b²

b²=25-16

b²=9

b=√9

b=3 (only the half)

b=6 (the whole base)

\frac{1}{2}  \times 6 \times 4

3×4

12

Shades region:

238-12

=226

Answer:

x = 4 is the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

given  = x ( square both sides )

x + 12 = x² ( rearrange into standard form )

x² - x - 12 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 4 )(x + 3 ) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

Insert these values into the original equation, and if both sides are equal, and those are the solutions.

x = 4 :  =  = 4 = x ← correct

x = - 3 :  =  = 3 ≠ - 3 ← false

the answer is x = 4

1.3n-0.03=-9 (solve for n) grade lvl. 7
bazaltina [42]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

-6.9


Discussion:  

1.3n - 0.03 = -9     =>              multiply both sides by 100

130n - 3 = -900 =>

130n = -900 +3 =  -897 =>     add 3 to both sides

n = -897/130  =>

n =  - (69 * 13)/ (10*13) =>

n = - 69/10 = - 6.9




Thank you,

MrB
