Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle = 208 m

2*(l + w) = 208 {divide both sides by 2}

l +w = 208/2

l +w = 104

l = 104 - w

Area of rectangle = 2415 square meters

l*w = 2415

Substitute l = 104 - w in the above equation,

(104 - w ) *w = 2415

104w - w² = 2415

0 = 2415 - 104w + w²

w² - 104w + 2415 = 0

Sum = -104

Product = 2415

Factors = (-69) , (-35)

w² - 35w - 69w + (-69)*(-35) = 0

w(w - 35) - 69(w - 35) = 0

(w -35)(w -69)

w - 35 = 0 ; w -69 = 0

w = 35 ; w = 69

The dimensions of the building: 35 , 69

Multi step equation -3x-2=-1

Shkiper50 [21]

x = -1/3

Explanation:

-3x-2=-1

collect like terms by adding +2 to both sides:

-3x -2 + 2 = -1 + 2

-3x = 1

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x:

coefficient of x = -3

-3x/-3 = 1/-3

x = -1/3

5000 people went to vote. Candidate Smith claimed 52% of the votes. Candidate Adams claimed 2681 votes. What percentage does can

boyakko [2]

The percentage of votes claimed by Adam is 53.62 %

Solution:

Given that, 5000 people went to vote

Candidate Smith claimed 52% of the votes. Candidate Adams claimed 2681 votes

To find: Percentage claimed by Adam

From given,

Total number of votes = 5000

Votes claimed by Adam = 2681

The formula used is:

$Percentage\ claimed\ by\ Adam = \frac{\text{votes claimed by adam}}{\text{Total number of votes}} \times 100$

Substituting the values we get,

$Percentage\ claimed\ by\ Adam = \frac{2681}{5000} \times 100\\\\Percentage\ claimed\ by\ Adam = 0.5362 \times 100\\\\Percentage\ claimed\ by\ Adam = 53.62$

Thus percentage of votes claimed by Adam is 53.62 %
