Say you have 3 cakes. How many cakes would you have eaten if you ate 1/3 of the three cakes? One, you have eaten one cake, out of the three you have.
How many cakes do you have left if you eat 2/3 of the three cakes? Two, you have eaten 2 cakes, and have 1 cake left.
It is a similar approach here, except the confusing part is working "forward", when you really have to work "backward". If you have driven 30 miles, and you have driven 2 parts out of the trip when there is 3 parts of the trip, how many miles have you driven? Hint: Dividing 30 by 2 gives you what fraction of the distance to Jeff's grandmother?
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
-13>-5x+2>-28 subtract 2 from all expressions
-15>-5x>-30 divide each expression by -5
Be sure to reverse direction of signs when you divide/multiply by a negative value!
3<x<6
So the "graph" will be a infinitely high plane, or area, contained between the two vertical lines x=3 and x=6
Let L and W be the length and width of the given rectangle, respectively. Perimeter is calculated through the equation,
P = 2L + 2W
Substituting the perimeter,
36 = 2L + 2W
Simplifying,
18 = L + W
The area is calculated by multiplying the length and width as below,
A = 80 = LW
Substituting the expressions,
80 = (L)(18 - L)
The value of L from the equation is 8. With this, the value of W is equal to 10.
Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle are 8 m by 10 m.
