Answer:

m = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of the variable of <em>m</em>. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Remember to do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS =

Parenthesis

Exponent (& roots)

Multiplications

Divisions

Addition

Subtraction

.. and is the order of operation.

In this case, first, divide 4 from both sides:

(4(m - 2))/4 = (24)/4

m - 2 = 24/4

m - 2 = 6

Isolate the variable, m. Add 2 to both sides.

m - 2 (+2) = 6 (+2)

m = 6 + 2

m = 8

m = 8 is your answer.

Check. Plug in 8 to m in the equation. Remember to follow PEMDAS when solving:

4(8 - 2) = 24

4(6) = 24

24 = 24 (True).

m = 8 is your answer.

Area = 300 square feet

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

$Length=24.32$ feet

$width=12.32$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width of a rectangle

Let l be the length of a rectangle

Let A be the area of rectangle

Given.

Length must be 12 feet longer than width

therefore

$Length=12+w$

$l=12+w$

Area of rectangle

$A=300$

We know that area of rectangle is

$A=l\times w$ ---------------------(1)

put all known values in equation 1

$300=(12+x)\times x$

$x^{2} +12x=300\\x^{2} +12x-300=0$

Find roots by this formula

$=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$=\frac{-12\pm\sqrt{12^{2}-4(1)(-300)}}{2(1)}$

$=\frac{-12\pm\sqrt{1344}}{2}$

$x=-6+4\sqrt{21} \\x=-6-4\sqrt{21}$

$x=12.32\\x=-24.32$

check both value in equation 1

for $x=12.32$

$A=(12+12.32)\times 12.32$

$A=299.62$

$x=12.32$ is satisfy the equation

So The length of rectangle $l=12+12.32$ =24.32 feet

And width is 12.32 feet

a can of cola says dat it contain 330ml a food inspector carefully measures d content of a can and find that it conatins 341ml.

daser333 [38]

Answer:

3.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Factory measure=330 ml

Actual measure=341 ml

Difference between actual measure and factory measure is error

Difference=341 ml-330 ml=11 ml

Error (in ml)=11 ml

Percentage error=100* Error/Factory measure

Percentage error= 100* $\frac {11 ml}{330}%$

Percentage error=3.33%

Therefore, the percentage error in the content is 3.33%

arlik [135]

Answer: $163.85

Explanation:

1) Data:

Purchase price: $ 113.00

mark up: 45%

2) Formula

selling price = purchase price + mark up

mark up = % * purchase price

3) Solution

mark up = 45% * $ 113.00 = 0.45 * $ 113.00 = $50.85

selling price = $ 113.00 + $ 50.85 = $ 163.85

Answer: $ 163.85
