Original Statement: If x = 3, then x^2 = 9 (true)
Converse: If x^2 = 9, then x = 3 (false; this is half the story and x = -3 must be included)
Since the converse isn't completely true, we can't combine the two statements to get a biconditional.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of miles is 700.
On the first day, they drove 6 and 2/3 hours. We would convert 6 and 2/3 hours to improper fraction. It becomes 20/3 hours. On the second day, they drove 5 and 3/4 hours. Converting to improper fraction, it becomes 23/4 hours. Total number of hours that they drove during the first two days is the sum of hours driven on the first day and hours driven on the Second day. It becomes
20/3 + 23/4 = (80 + 69)/12
= 149/12 hours
Length = width +6
L * (L - 6) = 135
L^2 - 6L = 135
L^2 - 6L -135 = 0
Length = 15
Width = 9
