So here is the solution of the given problem above.
To find the area we are just going to use this formula. A = L x W.
Let x be the width and 2x is the length. Given that the area is 8 square meters. So let us find x first.
Plug in the values:
8 = (2x)(x)
8 = 2x^2 << divide both sides by 2 and we get
4 = x^2
Then square 4 and x^ 2 and we got
2 = x
Therefore, the width of the room is 2 meters and the length 2x is 4 meters. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.

Don’t say you’re dumb ! we always need help sometimes.

(5x)^2 = ____x^2

distribute the exponent ‘2’ to both terms inside the parentheses.

so it will be (5)^2(x^2)

simplify. 5^2=25, (x^2)=x^2

so the answer is 25x^2

If 4 electricians can complete a job in 8 hours how long will it take 3 electricians to complete the same job
levacccp [35]
We know that

if <span>4 electricians can complete a job in 8 hours
then
</span>100% of a job -------> 8 hours
x------------------> 1 hour
x=100/8----> x=12.5%

divide by 4 electricians
12.5%/4-----> 3.125%
that means each electrician can complete 3.125% of a job in 1 hour

therefore
3 electricians-----> 3*3.125%----> 9.375% in 1 hour
so
9.375%-----------> 1 hour
100%--------------> x
x=100/9.375----> x=10.67 hours

the answer is
10.67 hours

a particular test correctly identifies those with a certain serious disease 94% of the time and correctly diagnoses those withou
Elodia [21]
This item can be solved by the probability theorem called Bayes' theorem which states that the probability of event A occurring given event B is equal to,
                            P(A/B) = P(A)P(B/A) / P(B)
where P(B/A) is the probability that the test will yield positive if the person has the disease. P(A) is the probability will be present in any particular person which is equal to 0.04. 

P(B) is the probability of positive result irrespective of whether the disease is present of not is calculated below.
                   P(B) = (0.94)x (0.04) + (0.06)(0.96) = 0.0952

Now, solving for P(A/B)
                            P(A/B) = (0.94)(0.04) / 0.0952 = 0.039
Thus, the answer is approximately 4%.
