Let the width be x.
Length is 8 feet more than width. Length = x + 8
Area = x(x + 8)
width increased by 4, that is, (x + 4)
Length decreased by 5, (x + 8 - 5) = (x + 3)
Area = (x + 4)(x +3)
Area remains the same
x(x + 8) = (x+4)(x +3)
x² + 8x = x(x +3) + 4(x +3)
x² + 8x = x² +3x + 4x +12
x² + 8x = x² +7x +12 Eliminate x² from both sides
8x = 7x + 12
8x - 7x = 12
x = 12
Dimensions of original rectangle : x, x + 8
12, 12 +8 = 12, 20
Original rectangle is 20 feet by 12 feet
Answer: 7 laps
Step-by-step explanation:
The athlete planned to run 3 miles
1 lap = 3/7 miles
x laps = 3 miles
by proportion :
x × 3/7miles = 3 miles
x = 3 ÷ 3/7
x = 3 x 7/3
x = 7
Therefore: the athlete will run 7 laps
Step-by-step explanation:
56048 divided by 543= 103.219153
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x-1)=4
2x-2=4
2x=4+2
2x=6
x=6/2=3
X = 40, Y = 15
40(2) + 15(2) = 80 + 30 = 110 :)
