Sorry, but I can only see the algebra way

in the morning, he sold 24 plus 2/7 of what he had left
what he had left was all-24

2/7 of left was sold
5/7of the ones left=1/2 of all
2/7 of left+24=1/2 of all
therefor
5/7 of the ones left=2/7 of the ones left+24
minus 2/7 of left fro mboth sides
3/7 of the ones left=24
divide both sides by 3
1/7 of the ones left=8
times 7 both sides
ones left=56

left+24=1/2 of all
56+24=1/2 of all
80=1/2 of all
times 2
160=all

he had 160 to start with

Using b=1+r, what does b=
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Adding 12 to the circle area is equal to the square area.

Or

s2 = 12 + A

Where

s = side of square

A = area of circle

So

s2 = 12 + 36

s2 = 48

Solve this for s to get the side length

Answer:

A) y² - 5y + 1

B) y² - 5y - 4

C) - 5y + 1

D) - 3y² - 4y - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call P the unkown polynomial and D the difference. In each case, the following must be true:

y² - 5y + 1 - P = D

<em>A)</em>

y² - 5y + 1 - P = 0

y² - 5y + 1 = P

<em>B)</em>

y² - 5y + 1 - P = 5

y² - 5y + 1 - 5 = P

y² - 5y - 4 = P

<em>C)</em>

y² - 5y + 1 - P = y²

y² - 5y + 1 - y² = P

- 5y + 1 = P

<em>D) </em>

y² - 5y + 1 - P = 4y² - y + 7

y² - 5y + 1 - 4y² + y - 7 = P

- 3y² - 4y - 6 = P
