How do you grow your own equations

1 answer:

4 0

You can formulate your own equations by analyzing the given problem and its statements. You can do some illustrations so you can understand it better. Introduce some variables and the rest is algebra. For example:

An orange costs $2 while a banana costs $1.5. How many oranges and bananas do you have to buy such that the total cost would equal to $20. You bought a total of 12 fruits.

First, you have to introduce variables. Let 'x' be the number of oranges and 'y' be the number of bananas. One equation you can get from here is knowing the amount of total cost: 2x + 1.5y = 20. Then, the other equation would be knowing the amount of fruits: x+y=12. You have two unknowns and two equations. Hence, you can solve the problem. Solving them simultaneously, you would get that x=4 and y=8.

Rudiy27

Since there is no picture shown, I just plotted the given data points myself. That is shown in the attached picture. The blue rectangle is rectangle PQRS while the orange one is rectangle JKLM. I believe there are some choices for this question but you forgot to include. Nevertheless, I will give my observations from the given figure.

The tile PQRS is bigger than tile JKLM. A rectangle is a two-dimensional shape that has two sets of equal parallel planes. Thus, its area is equal to the length multiplied by its width.

tile PQRS = (9-5)*(12-7) = 20 units²
tile JKLM = (6-4)*(10-5) = 10 units²

Tile PQRS is larger by 10 units².
