4(-2)-3 = -8-3 = -11
Answer: -11
Well first you would start by setting up with a proportion.
In total, the girls paid $54+$22= $76
Thus 1 sister contributed $54/$76=x/100
The other sister contributed $22/$76=x/76
For each proportion, cross-multiply and simplify to get the percentage. The percentage will be the x
1.
area = L x w = 72
L = 2w
72 = 2w*w = 2w^2
divide by 2
36 = w^2
w = sqrt(36) = 6
l = 2*6 =12
perimeter = 2L +2W = 2*12 + 2*6 = 24+12 = 36
2.
sqrt(40)= 6.324555 cm ( round to 6.32 )
6.32 - 4 = 2.32 cm original length of a side
Answer: (30m-9n)/270
First we start with m/9-n/30.
We multiply the denominators to get 270.
Then we multiply the numerators by the original denominators to get (30m-9n).
To check, we can use m=2, and n=4
2/9-4/30=4/45
(30*2-9*4)/270=24/270=4/45
