Answer:
x = 4√7
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the pythagorean theorem which is a² + b² = c²
if you plug it in, it would be...
x² + 12² = 16²
x² + 144 = 256, subtract 144 to both sides
x² = 112, square root both sides to make x by itself.
x = 4√7
Given:
savings 12% of her salary.
savings $4,200
This year's salary: x + 3,000
Last year's salary: x
4,200 represents 12% of her salary.
4,200 / 12% = 35,000 is her salary this year.
x + 3,000 = 35,000
x = 35,000 - 3,000
x = 32,000 her salary last year.
$8 per yard of fabric
1 yard is equal to 3 feet
8 divided by 3 = 2.67(rounded)
$2.67 per foot of fabric
1 foot is equal to 12 inches
2.67 divided by 12 =0.22(rounded)
1 inch of fabric cost $0.22
distribute the 8 to the 5 and x. then distribute 11 to 9 and x.
(40+8x)=(99+11x)
-11x -11x
-3x+40=99
-40 -40
-3x= 59
divide three on both sides
x=59/-3
final answer x=-59/3
