Given that, Nathan shares out 12 sweets, if he gives Yasmin 1 sweet for 3 sweets he buys, Nathan will get 9 sweets.
<h3>How many sweets does Nathan gets?</h3>
Given that, Nathan shares out 12 sweets, he gives Yasmin 1 sweet for 3 sweets he buys.
Let the sweet be represented by x
For each x sweet for Yasmin, Nathan gets 3x sweets
Hence
x + 3x = 12
We solve for x
4x = 12
x = 12/4
x = 3
Hence;
Yasmin gets x sweet = 3
Nathan gets 3x sweets = 3 × 3 = 9
Given that, Nathan shares out 12 sweets, if he gives Yasmin 1 sweet for 3 sweets he buys, Nathan will get 9 sweets.

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
1. It is extracted from the ground.
2. It took years to form.
Create an equation using the formula for area of a rectangle; area = width * length
(X + 2)(x + 3) = 600
Multiply the dimensions.
X^2 + 3x + 2x +6 = 600, or simplified x^2 +5x + 6 = 600.
Subtract 600 to get the following:
X^2 + 5x - 594 = 0
Factor by x:
(X - 22)(x + 27) = 0
Solve for x
X - 22 = 0
X = 22.
Use the POSITIVE VALUE of x as you can’t have a negative area for a room.
Then substitute 22 for x to get the dimensions
(22+ 2) or 24 for length and (22+3) or 25 for width.
