Lets write as an equation the info provided in the problem:
original area = 200*300 = 60000 squared meters
Adding x meters to the length is: 300 + x
Adding x meters to the width is: 200 + x
If the area doubles in size we have: 2*<span>60000
Now writing as a single equation all info:
(300 + x)(200 + x) = 120000
We have to make the operations and solve:
60000 + 300x + 200x + x^2 = </span><span>120000
x^2 + 500x - 60000 = 0
This is a squared trinomial, to solve it we need two numbers that subtracted give us 500 and multiplied -60000:
(x + 600)(x -100) = 0
So there are two solutions, x = -600 and x = 100, we choose the positive one:
x = 100
thererefore the value of x is 100 meters</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other
DP = IP
7x - 8 = 3x
7x = 3x + 8
7x - 3x = 8
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2
NP = YP
3y = 7x - 2
3y = 7*2 - 2
3y = 14 - 2
3y = 12
y = 12/3
y = 4
Answers: The page numbers are 11 and 12
==========================================================
Explanation:
Consecutive integers are ones that follow immediately after another. For example, the set {7,8,9,10} are consecutive.
Let,
- x = first page, some positive whole number
- x+1 = second page, follows immediately after page x
Adding those two said pages will lead to 23
first + second = 23
(x) + (x+1) = 23
2x+1 = 23
2x = 23-1
2x = 22
x = 22/2
x = 11 is the first page
x+1 = 11+1 = 12 is the second page
Check: 11+12 = 23 which confirms the answers.
