Ok so I like to go in steps with these questions- first draw a picture and identify your variables.
W=width
L= 3w-1
Now we know that length times width gets us area so we plug in our variables into the area equation.
200 = w(3w-1)
When you foil that equation you end up with a quadratic : 3w^2-w-200 = 0
Either factor that or use the quadratic formula to get
w= 8.33 and w= -8
Since you can't have a negative dimension you need to use 8.33 and plug it back into your length equation.
Final answer:
w= 8.33ft
l= 23.99ft
*Now I simplified the decimals a little bit so you end up with 199.8ft^2 for the area so just add a few decimals on here and there*
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total percentage = 100%
And we know that proportions of Vanilla +chocolate +strawberry = 100%
Proportion of Vanilla = 45%
Proportion of Strawberry = 1/4 *100 = 25%
Let proportion of chocolate be represented by variable C;
So, 45% +25% + C = 100%
65% +C = 100%
Subtract 65% from both sides to solve for C;
C=100% - 65%
C = 35%
Therefore there is 35% of chocolate in the shop.
Answer: x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
First you add 3x+5x cause they are both variables.They equal 8x.
Then you subtract 7x from both sides to get x+17=10
then you subtract 17 from both sides.
you will get x= -3
Hope that helps!
ΔACD is similar to ΔBCD by AA similarity theorem
AD/AC = BD/BC
x/5 = 4.2/6
6x = 21
x = 3.5
Hope this helps! ;)
