Answer:
The width of the border can be 9 feet or 3.5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be x
Length of room = 10 feet
Breadth of room = 15 feet
Length of rug = 10-2x
Breadth of rug = 15-2x
Area of rug =
We are given that the area of the rug is 24 square feet.
So,
---A






Substitute x =9 in A


LHS = RHS
Substitute x = 3.5


LHS = RHS
So, The width of the border can be 9 feet or 3.5 feet.
Answer:
x =1/12(1-√(97) )
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x-3)/4 = x/3 +1
5x-3 = 4x/3 +4
5x - 4x/3 = 7
(11/3)x = 7
x = 7/(11/3) = 21/11
Answer: 8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Set this up as an equation with a variable for turtles. Count up the other side of the scale (without turtles). Add up the three 1s and the 4 to get 7. Then add up all four 7s. This will get you with an equation 3t+4=28.
To solve this, first subtract 4 from both sides to get 3t=24. Now divide both sides by 3. 24/3=8. Each turtle weighs 8 units.
