Is x=1/3 a possible answer? It would be if in fraction form.
or -31.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 
represent the length of the rectangle. The width can be represented as 
.
The perimeter of a rectangle with lengths 
and 
is given by 
.
Thus, we have:
The width is then 
.
Let us say ,
x=number of students who passed
y=number of students who failed
total number of students =276
x+y=276..................(1)
We are given 5 times the number of students passed as failed.
x=5y.............(2)
plugging value of x from (2) in (1),
5y+y=276
6y=276
y=46
x=5y=46*5=230
x=number of students who passed=230
I am going to do number 2 so when you subtract decimals you have to add two zeros like this 10.00 or 0.25 so now when you subtract you get $9.75
Let
One Number = x
Second Number =x-10
Third Number=x/2
Sum of three numbers is 50
x+x-10+x/2=50
2x-10+x/2=50
Multiply by 2 both sides
2*(2x-10+x/2)=50*2
4x-20+x=100
5x=100+20
5x=120
x=120/5
x=24
One number = x=24
Second number =x-10=24-10=14
Third number= x/2=24/2= 12
