Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of members last summer. Then 90% more is 1.9x. We are told this is 114, so we have ...
1.9x = 114
x = 114/1.9 = 60
There were 60 members last summer.
Answer:
(300 + 50x)/(2 + x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of teachers' edition books be t
Let the cost of students' edition books be s
So t = 150; s = 50
Then the total cost of 2 teachers' editions and x students' editions is 2t + sx = 2 × 150 + 50x = 300 + 50x.
The total number of books is 2 + x.
So the average cost per book is (300 + 50x)/(2 + x)
45 feet.
Absolute value is the distance of a number from 0. Say 0 is the surface of the ocean, then the diver is 45 feet away from it. Either from above or below, they are the same distance away.
Answer:
difference in area = 16 ft²
if you use 8 the difference in length between Jack patio and his neighbor patio will be will be 15 - 13 = 2 ft
if you use 13 the difference i length will be 25 - 18 = 7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Jacks rectangular patio
width = a
length = 2a - 1
area = lw
where
l = length
w = width
area = 120 ft²
a(2a - 1)
2a² - a - 120 = 0
(a - 8) (2a + 15)
a = 8 or -15/2
Ron's rectangular patio
width = a
length = a + 5
area = lw
area = 104 ft²
a (a + 5) = 104
a² + 5a -104 = 0
(a + 8) (a - 13)
a = -8 or 13
How many square feet longer is jack patio longer than Ron's patio is the difference in their area. Therefore,
120 - 104 = 16 ft²
The value 8 or 13 can be used for a since the width a have to be the same.
if you use 8 the difference in length between Jack patio and his neighbor patio will be will be 15 - 13 = 2 ft
if you use 13 the difference i length will be 25 - 18 = 7 ft
