The question can be solved as follows:
Hence the value of the given expression in scientific notation is expressed as:
Answer:
Dimensions of original room = 12 x 12 feet.
Explanation:
Let the size of old square room be a x a.
New dimension = ( a+4 ) x ( a + 6 )
We have area of the new room will be 144 square feet greater than the area of the original room.
So, ( a+4 ) x ( a + 6 ) = a x a + 144
a²+10a+24= a²+144
10a = 120
a = 12 feet.
Dimensions of original room = 12 x 12 feet.
Just plug in one of the other (doesn't matter which one) so it will look like
-3x+6=5x+38
or
5x+38=-3x+6 (it's the same thing as the first one)
Then you solve for x and you substitute that value so you can get y.
Hope this helped :)
Answer:
x = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x + 3) = 9x + 16 + 3x
Distribute the 4
4x +12 = 9x+16+3x
Combine like terms
4x+12 = 12x+16
Subtract 4x
4x-4x+12 = 12x-4x+16
12 = 8x+16
Subtract 16
12-16 = 8x+16-16
-4 =8x
Divide by 8
-4/8 =8x/8
-1/2 =x
There were 16 total storms, meaning our denominator is 16. Since 8 grew into hurricanes, we can leave that alone. Since 5 out of 16 storms were major, 5 is our numerator.
5/16 storms were major because 8 were hurricanes and the other 3 were other kinds of storms. As a decimal conversion, about 31% of these storms were major.
How to find the percentage conversion:
Step 1: We take the fraction 5/16.
Step 2: Since our numerator is 5 and the default denominator is a maximum of 100, we can multiply 5 by 100.
5 x 100 = 500
Step 3: We can divide 100 by 16 to get our decimal conversion.
100 divided by 16 will give us 31.25, which also is representative of 31 and 1/4 added together.
Your final answer: With there being 16 storms, 5 of these storms are major (5/16). In terms of if there were 100 total storms, about 3/10 of these storms were major.
