In the proportional theory,
28 units is the total measurement that includes 8 units.
So, 10 + 3x - 5 is the total measurement that includes 10 units proportionally.
This means,
28 = 10 + 3x - 5
Now solve for x,
28 = 10 + 3x - 5
28 - 10 = 3x - 5
18 + 5 = 3x
23 = 3x
23 / 3 = x
So x = 23/3 or 7.6666....
You have to divide 400 by 5. That will equal 80. Since the ratio is 3:2 Just multiply 3 by 80 then 2 by 80! :-)
You can check it by simplifying it again.
The answer should be A. 4 Meters
Answer:
Make Width = 'x'
Length = 4 + 2x
Perimeter = 2 x Width + 2 x Length
86 = 2(x) + 2(4 + 2x)
86 = 2x + 8 + 4x
Collect like terms:
2x + 4x = 86 - 8
6x = 78
x = 13
Width = 13 cm
Length = 30 cm
