Answer: a) -27, b) 35, c) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

a) When a positive number is multiplied by a negative number, your answer is negative, and since we know that 9 × 3 = 27, and that this figure has to be negative (since 9 is negative), the answer is -27.

b) Multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive number, and since 7 × 5 = 35, the answer is positive 35 (as both 7 and 5 in the original question are negative).

c) Follows just like b.

The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. If a rectangle has a perimeter of 68 inches and the length

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Width = 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the perimeter of a rectangle of 68 inches, and a length that is 14 inches longer than its width.

We can establish the following values to help us solve for the width of a rectangle:

Perimeter (P) = 68 inches

Length (L) = 14 + W inches

Width (W) = unknown

<h3 /><h3><u>Solve for the Width (W)</u></h3>

P = 2(L + W) ⇒ This is the same as P = 2L + 2W, except that 2 is factored out from the right-hand side.

Divide both sides by 2:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=\:\frac{2(L\:+\:W)}{2}}$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{P}{2}\:=L\:+\:W}$

Substitute the value of the Perimeter and the length (L) into the formula:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{68}{2}\:=14\:+W\:+\:W}$

Combine like terms on the right-hand side, and simplify the left-hand side of the equation:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{34\:=14\:+2W}$

Subtract 14 from both sides:

34 - 14 = 14 - 14 + 2W

20 = 2W

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the width (W):

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{20}{2}\:=\:\frac{2W}{2}}$

W = 10 inches

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 10 inches.

<h3 /><h3><u>Double-check:</u></h3>

Verify whether the derived value for the width is correct:

P = 2L + 2W

68 = 2(14 + 10) + 2(10)

68 = 2(34) + 20

68 = 48 + 20

68 = 68 (True statement).

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 34 inches, and the width is 10 inches.

The next model of a sports car will cost 5.2% less than the current model. The current model costs $41,000. How much will the pr

Ivanshal [37]

The price will decrease by $2132

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>

Given that the next model of the sports car will cost 5.2% less than the current model.

The price of the current model=$41000

The price of the next model will be 5.2% less than $41000

$price\ of\ next\ model=price\ of \ current \ model \times(100-5.2)/100\\=41000\times 94.8/100\\=38868$

$decrease in price=41000-38868=2132$

There is a $2132 decrease in prize of the sports car.

Maulik bought two horses at Rs 40,000 each. He sold one horse at 15% gain, but he to sell the second horse at a loss. If he had

givi [52]

Answer:

Answer is selling price of second horse is Rs 30400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maulik bought one horse at Rs 40000 and sold it with a gain of 15%

So the selling price of one horse will be 40000+15% of 40000

= 40000+6000

= Rs 46000

Second horse is costing Rs 40000 and had suffered a loss of Rs 3600 on selling both so selling price of both will be = 40000×2-3600

= 80000-3600

= 76400

Now selling price of second horse will be selling price of both - selling price of first = 76400-46000 = Rs 30400
