Answer:
The width of the border can be 9 feet or 3.5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be x
Length of room = 10 feet
Breadth of room = 15 feet
Length of rug = 10-2x
Breadth of rug = 15-2x
Area of rug =
We are given that the area of the rug is 24 square feet.
So, ---A
Substitute x =9 in A
LHS = RHS
Substitute x = 3.5
LHS = RHS
So, The width of the border can be 9 feet or 3.5 feet.
Answer:
17% , 15% , 6% , 10% , 40% , 6%
Step-by-step explanation:
You're going to have to divide the number of people who voted for those positions by the total number of people.
Adapting = 9 / 52 = 17%
Other = 8 / 52 = 15%
Yes = 3 / 52 = 6%
No = 5 / 52 = 10%
Absolutely = 21 / 52 = 40%
Maybe = 3 / 52 = 6%
One number is six times as large as a certain smaller number.
i.e., Y = 6x
Answer is 6x
Answer:
<h2>
3.6° and 86.4°</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
24x - measure of an angle
x - the measure of a complementary angle
Complementary angles adds to 90°
x + 24x = 90°
25x = 90°
x = 90°÷25
x = 3.6°
24x = 24·3.6° = 86.4°

Answers: x = -17 and x = 64</h3>
====================================================
Explanation
Consider three scenarios:
- A) The value of x is the smallest of the set (aka the min)
- B) The value of x is the largest of the set (aka the max)
- C) The value of x is neither the min, nor the max. So 8 < x < 39.
These scenarios cover all the possible cases of what x could be. It's either the min, the max, or somewhere in between the min and max.
--------------------
We'll start with scenario A.
If x is the min, then that must mean 39 is the max as it's the largest of the set {18, 36, 16, 39, 27, 8, 34}
The range is 56, so,
range = max - min
56 = 39 - x
56+x= 39
x = 39-56
x = -17 which is one possible answer
--------------------
If instead we go with scenario B, then x is the max and 8 is the min
range = max - min
56 = x - 8
56+8 = x
64 = x
x = 64 is the other possible answer
--------------------
Lastly, let's consider scenario C. If x is not the min or the max, then it's somewhere between the min 8 and max 39. in short, 8 < x < 39.
Note that range = max - min = 39-8 = 31 which is not the range of 56 that we want. So there's no way scenario C can be possible here.
