Greater then or less then
Problem One
Find AM
AM = 71.5 - 22 = 49.5
Step Two
State the Givens.
AM = 49.5
MN = 71.5
MB = x
MP = 97.5
Step Three
Set up the Proportion
AM : NM :: x : PM
49.5 : 71.5 :: x : 97.5
Substitute and solve
49.5 / 71.5 = x / 97.5 Cross Multiply
49.5 * 97.5 = 71.5 * x Combine the numbers on the left.
4860.375 = 71.5 * x Divide by 71.5
4860.375 / 71.5 = x
x = 67.98
Problem Two
Remark
This is just a straight application of the Pythagorean Theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 10
b = 24
c = ??
10^2 + 24^2 = c^2
100 + 576 = c^2
676 = c^2
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(676)
c = 26 <<<< answer
A rug maker is using a pattern that is a rectangle with a length of 96 inches and a width of 60 inches. The rug maker wants to increase each dimension by a different amount. Let l and w be the increases in the length and width. Write and simplify an expression for the perimeter of the new pattern.
p=2(96+l)+2(60+w)
This is the equation. p is for perimeter. (96+l) represents the original length plus the change in length. The 2 before (96+l) represents that there is one length on each side of the rectangle.
Same for the width. (60+w) represents the original width plus the change in width. The 2 before (60+w) represents that there is one width on each side of the rectangle.
The simplified equation is p=(192+2l)+(120+2w) (this is your answer)

A rhombus is a square but turned so it looks like a diamond. This means all the sides are equal. With this information we can build an equation to solve for x.
3x - 10 = 6x - 19
1) Subtract 3x from both sides.
-10 = 3x - 19
2) Add 19 to both sides.
9 = 3x
3) Divide both sides by 3.
3 = x
x =3.
