Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-16=-20
Get x to one side by subtracting it.
-16=-20-4x
Add the 20 on both sides.
-16+20=-4x
Simplify
4=-4x
4/-4=-4x/-4
-1=x
x=-1
Answer:
(1)3(x+3)
(2)5(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) common taking
(2) common taking
Let the shortest side be x. Then the other two sides will be x+1 and x+2.
Perimeter = P = sum of the lengths of all three sides = x + (x+1) + (x+2)
This perimeter = 4x -1 (1 less than 4 times the shortest side).
Then x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4x - 1
or: 3x + 3 = 4x -1 Subtr. 3x from both sides:
3 = x - 1
x=4, x+1=5, and x+2=6
The 3 sides have lengths 4, 5 and 6.
Notice that a can is a cylinder, which is basically two circles and one rectangle. Now, the question wants area of this rectangle.
You know the width of the rectangle (or the paper), which is 11cm. How do you find the length then?
Notice that the length of the rectangle is also the circumference of the circles. From here, use C = πd where C is circumference and d is diameter. The d is given, which is 7.5 cm. Depending on the question, π can be 3.14, 22/7 or the actual pi.
multiply π and 7.5cm and you get the circumference. Multiply this to 11cm and you get area of the rectangle.
