Answer:

36 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lw

Data:

A = 864 ft²

 l = length of basement

w = ⅔l

Calculations:

864 = l × ⅔l

864 = ⅔l²

Multiply each side by 3:               2592 = 2l²

Divide each side by 2:                  1296 = l²

Take the square root of each side:     l = 36

The length of the basement is 36 ft.

Check:

w = ⅔l = 24 ft

864 = 36 × 24

864 = 864

Add using the number line. 7+(−10) Drag and drop the word SUM to the correct value on the number line.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Steps of adding 7+(-10) using number line are as following:


1) Draw a number line by ranging from -10 to +10.

2) Point out 7 on the number line.

3) Because -10 is added to 7 on the number line,  please move 10 numbers left to 7 on the number line. We always go left in addition of a negative number on the number line.

4) The number we reach -3 on left side would be our final sum.

5) From the number we can clearly see that moving 10 number on left to 7, we get -3.

Note: We are moving left because of negative sign in front of 10.

gladu [14]

Answer:

a = 1, b = 2, c = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a +  \frac{1}{b +  \frac{1}{c} }  =  \frac{10}{7}  \\  \\ a +  \frac{1}{b +  \frac{1}{c} }  = 1 +  \frac{3}{7}  \\  \\ a +  \frac{1}{b +  \frac{1}{c} }  = 1 +   \frac{1}{\frac{7}{3} }  \\  \\ a +  \frac{1}{b +  \frac{1}{c} }  = 1 +   \frac{1}{2 + \frac{1}{3} }  \\  \\ equating \: like \: terms \: on \: both \: sides \\  \\ a = 1 \\  \\ b = 2 \\  \\ c = 3
