The length of a rectangle is 4 more than its width. The area of the rectangle is 21m^2 . What is the measure of the width?

1 answer:

5 0

Make the length x+4 and the width x and then make a formula x(x+4)=21
then u ll get x^2+4x-21=0 and then solve for x ..... the width is 3

What is the answer to the equation: 6/4=15/x ?

Nat2105 [25]

To be able to find the value of X, we have to cross multiply the two fractions then solve the equation.
As so,

6/4 = 15/x

Cross Multiply:

6 x X = 6x
4 x 15 = 60

We cross multiplied, now we can set up the equation:

6x = 60

Simplify: (Get X by itself)

Divide 6 on each side

6 / 6x = 60 / 6
x = 60 / 6
x = 10

Now we have the total of X! To check our answer, we can substitute X for 10 in the original equation.
As so:

6/4 = 15/10

6/4 = 1.5
15/10 = 1.5

Correct! Our answer is X = 10!

2/3 of the cards are pitchers and 3/4 of the remainder are outfielders. If the 3 cards left over are infielders, how many cards

Answer:

2/3 + 3/4 = 1 52/125. That plus 3 is 4 / 52/125. Sorry if this isn't the right answer.
