If length is 42 inches, then width is 18 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given ratio of width to the length of a painting i.e 3 to 7. If the painting is 42 inches long, then how wide it is?

Solving:

$\frac{width}{length}=\frac{width}{length}\\ \frac{3}{7}=\frac{w}{42}\\ Cross\,\,multiply:\\3*42=w*7\\126=w*7\\w=\frac{126}{7}\\w=18$

So, If length is 42 inches, then width is 18 inches.

X^2-18x=-72 I need two solutions. Thanks.

eimsori [14]

Hey Astute!

Solve: x^2 - 18x = -72

Solution:

x^2 − 18x − (−72) = −72 − (−72) (Subtract -72 from both sides of the equation)

x^2 − 18x + 72 = 0

(x − 6) (x − 12) = 0 (Factor left side)

x − 6 = 0 or x − 12 = 0 (factors have to equal 0)

6 - 6 = 0 or 12 - 12 = 0

Answer:

x = 6 or x = 12

Hope This Helps, Have a Great Day!
