Answer:

Length = 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x units

Length = (x + 4) units

Area = 32 square units

length * width = 32

(x +4) *x = 32

x *x + 4 * x = 32

x² + 4x  -32 = 0

Sum = 4

Product = -32

Factor = 8 , (-4)

x² + 4x  -32 = 0

x² + 8x - 4x - 4 * 8 = 0

x(x + 8) - 4(x +8) = 0

(x + 8) (x - 4) = 0

(x + 8) is ignored because measurements will not have negative sign.

x-4 =0

x = 4

Width = 4 units

Length = x + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8 units

She paid 26.35 for something that would usually be 31 dollars. what percent discount did she get
Alex17521 [72]

<u>Answer:</u>

She paid 26.35 for something that would usually be 31 dollars. The percentage discount she got is 15%

<u>Solution:</u>

A lady paid $26.35 for something that is usually $31, so she got a discount for the product.

Now, we have been asked to find out how much percentage discount she got.

To do that we first have to check how many dollars she got off the product.

To do so we have to subtract the discounted price from the initial price.

Therefore we get:

31 - 26.35 = 4.65

To find the percentage discount we need to do the following

\begin{array}{l}{=\frac{4.65}{31} \times 100} \\\\ {=0.15 \times 100 = 15}\end{array}

Therefore she got a discount of 15%

Suppose that a class contains 15 boys and 30 girls, and that 10 students are to be selected at random for a special assignment.
natka813 [3]
Prob of selected students times prob of selecting boys times prob of selecting 3 boys
total students = 15b + 30g = 45 students

1. 10s/45t = 0.22
2. 15b/45t = 0.33
3. 3b/15b = 0.2

0.22×0.33×0.2=0.0148

1.48%

I'm not sure 100%... double check answer please

Solve the following equation for a: -g + 3/4a = y
matrenka [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a = (4/3)(y+g)

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate 'a' term, then multiply by the reciprocal of its coefficient.

  -g+\dfrac{3}{4}a=y\qquad\text{given}\\\\\dfrac{3}{4}a=y+g\qquad\text{add $g$}\\\\\boxed{a=\dfrac{4(y+g)}{3}}\qquad\text{multiply by $4/3$}
