Answer:

136

Step-by-step explanation:

Brady has eaten 50% of the original amount. The final amount is 68. So think, what 50% of a number is equal to 68?

Let x= original amount

Let n= final amount

n=68

50%= 0.5

0.5(x)= n

Divide both sides by 0.5

x= n/0.5, we know n=68, sub in 68 for n

x= 68/0.5

x= 136

Therefore, Brady had 136 pieces originally.

136 pieces? Because 68 is half of it (50%) and 68 times 2 is 136

Can anyone explain me?

Alika [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (a + b)² = (a + b) * (a +b)

(a + b)³ = (a + b) * (a +b) * (a +b)

a²- b² = (a +b) (a - b)

Here (a + b) is common in all the three expressions

HCF = (a + b)

b) (x - 1) = (x - 1)

x² - 1 = (x - 1) * (x + 1)

(x³ - 1) = (x - 1) (x² + x + 1)

HCF = (x -1)

The length of a 200 square foot rectangular vegetable garden is 4feet less than twice the width. Find the length and width of th

inna [77]

Answer:

Length = 18.099 ft

Width = 11.049 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length of the field be x ft

and the width be y ft

as per the condition given in problem

x=2y-4 -----------(A)

Also the area is given as 200 sqft

Hence

xy=200

Hence from A we get

y(2y-4)=200

taking 2 as GCF out

2y(y-2)=200

Dividing both sides by 2 we get

$y(y-2)=100$

$y^2-2y=100$

subtracting 100 from both sides

$y^2-2y-100=0$

Now we solve the above equation with the help of Quadratic formula which is given in the image attached with this for any equation in form

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

Here in our case

a=1

b=-1

c=-100

Putting those values in the formula and solving them for y

$y=\frac{-(-2)+\sqrt{(-2)^2-4 \times (-1) \times 100}}{2 \time 1}$

$y=\frac{-(-2)-\sqrt{(-2)^2-4 \times (-1) \times 100}}{2 \time 1}$

Solving first

$y=\frac{2+\sqrt{4+400}{2}$

$y=\frac{2+\sqrt{404}{2}$

$y=\frac{2+20.099}{2}$

$y=\frac{22.099}{2}$

$y=11.049$

Solving second one

$y=\frac{-(-2)-\sqrt{(-2)^2-4 \times (-1) \times 100}}{2 \time 1}$

$y=\frac{2-\sqrt{4+400}{2}$

$y=\frac{2-\sqrt{404}{2}$

$y=\frac{2-20.099}{2}$

$y=\frac{-18.99}{2}$

$y=-9.045$

Which is wrong as the width can not be in negative

Our width of the field is

y=11.099

Hence the length will be

x=2y-4

x=2(11.049)-4

x=22.099-4

x=18.099

Hence our length x and width y :

Length = 18.099 ft

Width = 11.049 ft
