Answer: 4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount each dimension was increased by be x.
Now we can set up a equation.
(2+x)(4+x) = 48
8 + 2x + 4x + x^2 = 48
x^2 + 6x - 40 = 0.
We can factor the left side of the equation.
(x+10)(x-4) = 0.
Therefore, x equals either -10 or 4. Since you can't increase a dimension by a negative amount, x must equal to 4.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor the equation, break it into two binomials which multiply to make the equation. To write these binomials (x+a)(x+b), find factors which multiply to -20 and add to -1 for a and b.
20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
-5+4 = -1
The answer is 14.4 because if the last number is 5 or higher you round up if not you round down. Then, you should get 14.40 but, the 0 isn't necessary so the answer is 14.4.
Answer:
12% of the men are left handed.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have,
An estimated 3 out of every 25 men are left handed.
× 100
= 3 × 4
= 12 %
