Area = length x width.
24 = (x + 2)(x - 3) = x² - x - 6
x² - x - 30 = 0
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
We can eliminate the root x = - 5 because dimensions cannot be negative. So, the only valid answer is x = 6
The length = x + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8 in.
The width = x - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3 in.
This equals 0.146341463414634
Cool! So OK I'll take you through it.
You just need to take everything 1 step at a time, as you might already know.
First
3 to the second is 9
Second
The first part included like this 9*(3 to the third) which is 243
Third
The second part is included into the question like 243*(3 to the fourth) which is 243*81
Fourth
243*81 = 19,683
Your Answer
(3^2)*(3^3)*3^4) = 19,693
Hope That Helps and Correct Me If I'm Wrong!
It's simple, just divide 45 1/2 by four. A, 11 3/7
4/6=66.67%
5/8=62.5%
Therfore 4/6 is bigger than 5/8
