Answer:
the answer is 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
- 3 (x - 12) = - 54
-3x + 36 = -54
-3x = -54 - 36
-3x = -90
x = -90/-3
x = 30
width = w
length = w +2
perimeter = 2L + 2w
40 = 2(w+2) + 2w
40 = 2w+4 +2w
40 = 4w+4
36=4w
w=36/4 = 9
with = 9
length = 9+2 = 11
area = l x w = 9*11 = 99 square cm
Answer:
1. c 2. a 3. b
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to prove these results are the right ones is by multiplying diagonally :
1. 1/3 = 4/12 -----> 1 . 12 = 12 ; 3 . 4 =12
2. 1/2 = 3/6 ------> 1 . 6 = 6 ; 2 . 3 = 6
3. 2/5 = 6/15 -----> 2 . 15 = 30 ; 5 . 6 = 30
The results of the multiplications must be the same if the fractions are equivalent.
7x-3 = 18
+3 for both sides
7x = 21
devide 7 for both sides
x = 3
One Way:
We can change the mixed number to a decimal for comparing.

m =

m = 1.25 m
1.4 m > 1.25 m
Darren > Luke
Darren's jump was higher by (1.4-1.25)
0.15 m
Or another way change the decimal to a fraction and the mixed to an improper fraction too.

=

(Luke)
1.4 =

(Darren)
We need a common denominator to compare

(Luke)

(Darren)

(Luke)

(Darren)

Darren > Luke
By:

-

=

Which is also by
0.15 m
Darren jumps higher and by 0.15 m
