Answer:

Additions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication is equivalent to repeated additions and is faster, especially if the numbers are large.

A simple example is 2 * 3 = 2 + 2 + 2.

Answer:

Addition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication is a faster way to do repeated addition.

For example, lets say you would add 10 fifteen's together. Addition would make it:

15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15

= 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30

= 60 + 60 + 30

= 120 + 30

= 150

However, when multiplying:

15 x 10 = 150

As you can tell, multiplication makes it so there are less steps, and is less time consuming.

a store sold a case of scented candles for$17.85 that had been marked up 110%. what was the original price

densk [106]

If 10% was added to the total (100%), then subtract 10% from 17.85.

17.85 * 0.1 = 1.785
17.85 - 1.785 = 16.065
$16.07

The length of a rectangle is 3 centimeters less than four times its width. Its area is 10 square centimeters. Find the dimension

Kay [80]

Answer:

W = 2 cm

L = 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is a four sided shape with 4 perpendicular angles. It has two pairs of parallel sides which are equal in distance: width and length. Its area, the amount of space inside it, can be found using the formula A = l*w. If the area is 10 cm² and the length is "3 cm less than 4 times the width" or 4w - 3, you can substitute and solve for w.

A = l*w

10 = (4w - 3)(w)

10 = 4w² - 3w

Subtract 10 from both sides to make the equation equal to 0. Then solve the quadratic by quadratic formula.

4w² - 3w - 10 = 0

Substitute a = 4, b = -3 and c = -10.

$w = \frac{3 +/- \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4(4)(-10)} }{2(4)} = \frac{3 +/- \sqrt{9 +160)} }{8} = \frac{3 +/- \sqrt{169} }{8} = \frac{3+/-13}{8}$

There are two possible solutions which can be found.

3 + 13 / 8 = 16/ 8 = 2

3 - 13 / 8 = -10/8 = -5/4

Since w is a side length or distance, it must be positive so w = 2 cm.

If the width is 2 cm then the length is 4(2) - 3 = 8 - 3 = 5 cm.

A wire 15 cm long is cut into two pieces. The longer piece is 3.cmidonger than the shorter piece.Find the length of the shorter

Andre45 [30]

A piece of wire is cut into two pieces. That means each part would be assigned an unknown variable. Let one part be x and the other part be y.

That means,

$x+y=15\operatorname{cm}$

If the longer part is x, and the longer part is 3cm longer than the shorter part, then we would have the following;

$\begin{gathered} x+y=15 \\ x=y+3 \\ \text{This is because x is 3cm longer,} \\ So\text{ the length of x would be y+3} \end{gathered}$

We can now refine the equation as follow;

$\begin{gathered} \text{Where;} \\ x=y+3 \\ x+y=15 \\ y+3+y=15 \\ 2y+3=15 \\ \text{Subtract 3 from both sides;} \\ 2y+3-3=15-3 \\ 2y=12 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 2;} \\ \frac{2y}{2}=\frac{12}{2} \\ y=6 \\ \text{When;} \\ x+y=15 \\ x+6=15 \\ \text{Subtract 6 from both sides;} \\ x+6-6=15-6 \\ x=9 \end{gathered}$

ANSWER:

The length of the shorter piece of wire is 6cm
