The first question. 7/24
Explanation: first you need to get the fractions to the same denominator so you use lowest common multiples
The lowest common multiple of 8 and 3 is 24 so you times both 3 and 8 by 3 giving you 9/24 and then you times both 1 and 3 by 8 giving you 8/24
When you add these together you get 17/24 so the rest of that would be 7/24
108/12=9
(You have to divide because you are seeing how many times 12 will go into 108 square feet)
The width of the door is 9 feet!
You can check your answer by multiplying 12 feet times 9 feet.
Your answer will be 108 ft squared! :)
So, the width of the door is 9 feet.
Hope I helped! :)
Answer:
The two numbers are -5 and -4
Explanation:
Assume that the first number is x and that the second number is x+1.
We know that the sum of their squares is 41. This means that:
x² + (x+1)² = 41
We will expand the brackets and factorize to get the value of x as follows:
x² + (x+1)² = 41
x² + x² + 2x + 1 = 41
2x² + 2x + 1 - 41 = 0
2x² + 2x - 40 = 0
We can divide all terms by 2 to simplify the equation:
x² + x - 20 = 0 ..........> equation required in part II
Now, we can factorize this equation to get the values of x:
x² + x - 20 = 0
(x-4)(x+5) = 0
either x = 4 .........> rejected because we know that x should be negative
or x = -5 ...........> accepted
Based on the above calculations, the two numbers are -5 and -4
Hope this helps :)
