Answer:

The initial value of 600 is larger and larger by 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all a 20% decreased of 600.

So, the new value will be 600(1 - \frac{20}{100}) = 600 \times 0.8 = 480.

Now, then it is increased by 20% i.e. 480 will be increased by 20%.

So, the new value will be 480(1 + \frac{20}{100}) = 480 \times 1.2 = 576.

Therefore, the initial value of 600 is larger and larger by (600 - 576) = 24. (Answer)

I’m a given rectangle the shorter side is 2 units less than the longer side. If we let the longer side be represented as the var
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

4(x-1)units

Step-by-step explanation:

In a given rectangle, the length of the rectangle is the shorter side while its breadth is the longer side.

Since we have 2 lengths and 2 breadths in a rectangle, the perimeter of the rectangle will be 2L+2x where

L is the length(shorter side) and x is the breadth (longer side).

According to the question, the shorter side(L) is 2 units less than the longer side(x). Mathematically,

L = x-2

Substituting L = x-2 into the formula of perimeter of a rectangle we have,

P = 2(x-2) + 2x

P = 2x-4+2x

P = 4x-4

P = 4(x-1)

The perimeter of the rectangle will be 4(x-1)units

Please help me with question 4!
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

I think that there might be some complex differential equation

stuff going on here if this were in the real world, but for the sake of this problem... may I suggest that the tank is filling up  at a rate of

1/8 of a tank per hour...

it is evaporating at a rate of 1/12 tank per hour

you can subtract the rates

1/8 - 1/12 = 12/96- 8/96 = 3/96 = 1/32 tank/hr

so to fill the tank it should take 32 hours...

I think the logic and math work... lets see if someone else will verify this analysis?
