Suppose that a rectangular picture is surrounded by a frame of uniform width of x

Mathematics

user100 [1]3 years ago

Answer:

Ok so the area of the frame is 18*12 = 216cm^2

Let’s suppose the width of the frame is x

The total area (painting and frame) is (2x+18)(2x+12) and this is equal to 432

4x^2 + 60x + 216 = 432

4x^2 + 60x - 216 = 0

x^2 + 15x - 54 = 0

(x+18)(x-3) = 0

Therefore x = {-18,3}

Since width of the frame has to be positive, the width has to be 3cm Step-

Jonas runs a pet store that sells guinea pigs. He wants to ensure he has more than 1 pound of dry food for every foge guinea pig
Amiraneli [1.4K]
You can do this by converting this into a ratio or a fraction

Ratio:
1 lb for 4 guinea pigs
1:4
If he was 8 lbs for x guinea pigsit would be

1:4
8:x

Multiply the first ration until the one is equal to 8, then whatever the four turns into is x

Fraction: (easier way)

1/4 (1lb for 4 guinea pigs)
8/x (8lb for x guinea pigs)
1/4 = 8/x
Multiply one until it is equal to 8
Correspond that to the 4

1*8 = 8
4*8 = 32

32 guinea pigs

Please help me with his question :)
Yuri [45]
I’m pretty sure it’s the third option, Bella saves more per chore than Sweet T. If you replace the c in Bella’s equation with 1, it would be 3.5 times 1 which is 3.5 and then add 11 and it would be 14.5 which is more then Sweet T. You can do this with the rest of the numbers and Bella would still have more then Sweet T. Per chore

PLEASE HELP I ONT GET THIS QUESTION
tatuchka [14]

Here's a trick.

Don't solve all the equations, you're given the answer to x so just substitute.

5/2*8+7/2=3/4*8+14

23.5=20 INCORRECT

5/4*8-9=3/2*8-21

1=-9 INCORRECT

5/4*8-2=3/2*8-4 <- YOUR ANSWER

8=8 CORRECT
