Let x= original savings
(x-1,600) - 2/5 (x-1,600) = 1/3x
(x-1,600) - 2/5 + 640 = 1/3x
(3/5)x - 960 = 1/3x
(3/5)x - (1/3)x = 960
(4/15)x = 960
(15/4)(4/15)x = (15/4) 960
x = 15* 240 (960/4 = 240)
x = $3,600 is his original savings
Check:
$3,600 - 1,600 = 2,000
(2/5)($2,000) = $800
2,000 - 800 = 1,200 left over

The area of a rectangle garden is 38 1/4 Square meters the width of the garden is 4 1/2 meters. Find the length of the garden
maxonik [38]
Area of rectangle it's the width multiply by the lenth.

A=W*L

A=38 1/4 m²
W=4 1/2 m²

So:                                                         38 1/4  = 4 1/2 * L
Dividing both sides by 4 1/2:          : 4 1/2         :4 1/2
                                                              38\frac14\ :\ 4\frac12\ =\ L\\\\L=\frac{153}4\ :\ \frac{9}2\\\\L=\frac{153}4\ \cdot\ \frac2{9}\\\\L=\frac{17}{2}\cdot\ \frac1{1}\\\\L=8\frac12

Answer:  T<span>he length of the garden is 8 1/2 meters</span>

Can someone figure out the problem in this image?
erma4kov [3.2K]
Right side:
(1/27)^(2x+10)
=(3^-3)^(2x+10)
= 3^(-6x - 30)

Re-write both sides:
3^(4x-5) = 3^(-6x - 30)

from here, you can solve x 

4x - 5 = -6x - 30
4x + 6x = -30 + 5
10x = -25
    x = -2.5

-12x - 12y = 4 3x + 3y = 0
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

no Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

-12x-12y=4\\ 3x+3y=0

12x-12y=4

add 12y to both sides

12x-12y+12y=4+12y

divid both sides by -12

\frac{-12x}{-12}=\frac{4}{-12}+\frac{12y}{-12}

simplfy

x=-\frac{1+3y}{3}

\mathrm{Substitute\:}x=-\frac{1+3y}{3}

\begin{bmatrix}3\left(-\frac{1+3y}{3}\right)+3y=0\end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix}-1=0\end{bmatrix}
