Let’s say Peter’s number is P.
P minus 16 and the answer times -2 is -34
-2(P-16) = -34
-2P+32 = -34
-2P = -66
Divide by -2
P is 33.
Check: 33-16 is 17 and 17*-2 is -34. So
P is 33.
Answer:
Width of the garden = 22.8 foot
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the rectangular garden = 2077 square feet.
Let
Width of the garden = x
Length of the garden = 4x
Area of a rectangular garden = length × width
2077 = 4x * x
2077 = 4x²
x² = 2077/4
x² = 519.25
find the square root of both sides
x = √519.25
x = 22.787057730211
To the nearest tenth of a foot.
x = 22.8 foot
Width of the garden = 22.8 foot
The 10^-4 means that the decimal point is 4 places to the left of where it is in 8.25 (if the exponent was positive the decimal point would be to the right). If you move the decimal point 4 places to the left you get an answer of 0.000825 which is 8.25 * 10^-4 in standard form.
