I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.
Answer:
x= 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5x−2(x+1)=
1
/4
5x+(−2)(x)+(−2)(1)=
1
/4
(Distribute)
5x+−2x+−2=
1
/4
(5x+−2x)+(−2)=
1
/4
(Combine Like Terms)
3x+−2=
1
/4
3x−2=1
/4
Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.
3x−2+2=
1
/4
+2
3x=
9
/4
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
3x/
3
=
9
/4
/3
x=
3
/4
Hi There
To find the distance, you have to make them proportional to each other.
1 cent. / 30 kilo. = 7.5 cent. / x
Then you cross multiply.
30 x 7.5 = x
225 = x
The distance between the two cities is 225 kilometers.
Hope that helps:)
