Let the height of the tree be x, then
18 inches / 3 feet 9 inches = x / 21 feet 3 inches
18 inches / 45 inches = x / 255 inches
45x = 18 x 255 = 4590
x = 4590 / 45 = 102
Therefore, the tree is 102 inches = 8 feet, 6 inches tall
The total area of the the picture and frame is given by the equation A = (16 + 2x)(24 + 2x) = 384 + 32x + 48x + 4x^2 = 4x^2 + 80x^2 + 384
Answer:
0.28
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify into 1 fraction, remember, we must make the denominator the same
x/ (x-1 ) - 1/ (2-2x)
= -x/ -(1-x) - 1/(2-2x) [see the similarity now? ] [whatever we multiply for the denominator, as long as we multiply to the numerator, it will be ok]
= -2x / -(2-2x) + 1/-(2-2x)
= (-2x+1 )/ -(2-2x)
=(2x-1)/(2-2x)
