First set up a proportion
240/160 = 320/200
Cross multiply and if the left equals the right it is similar.
Answer:
The flower garden width would be 6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 12 ft^2 = x(x + 4) becomes:
x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0, or (by completing the square) x^2 + 4x + 4 - 4 - 12 = 0
Thus, we have (x + 2)^2 - 16 = 0, or (x + 2)^2 = 16
Taking the square root of both sides yields x + 2 = ±4.
In this context only a positive x value makes sense: x = 2 + 4 => x = 6.
The flower garden width would be 6 ft. The other dimension would be 6 - 4, or 2, ft.
45 minutes is equal to 1.5 times 30:
1.5*30=45
so she will also read 22*1.5 pages, which is 22+11=33
so she will read 33 pages
Answer:
Solution of the equation 4x + 5 = 3x + 4 is:
x= -1
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a equation:
4x + 5 = 3x + 4
We have to solve the equation for x
4x+5=3x+4
subtracting both sides by 4
4x+5-4=3x+4-4
4x+1=3x
subtracting both sides by 4x
4x|+1-4x=3x-4x
1= -x
⇒ x= -1
Hence, solution of the equation 4x + 5 = 3x + 4 is:
x= -1
