The equation is:

3n - 3 = 2n + 19

=> 3n - 2n = 19 + 3

=> n = 22

So, the answer is 22.

The area of a rectangle is 66 ft^2 and the length of the rectangle is 7 feet less than three times the width find the dimensions

Ber [7]

<h2>Length = 11</h2><h2>Width = 6</h2>

The area of a rectangle is 66 ft^2:

L * W = 66

Length of the rectangle is 7 feet less than three times the width:

L = 3W-7

Substitute L in terms of W:

(3W-7) * W = 66

Factorise the equation:

3W^2 -7W = 66

3W^2 - 7W - 66 = 0

Factors of 66 =

1 66, 2 33, 3 22, 6 11

(3W + 11) (W - 6) = 0

Solve for W:

3W + 11 = 0

3W = 11

W = 3/11

W - 6 = 0

W = 0 + 6

W = 6

Using the original equation, find L:

L = 3W-7

L = 3(6)-7

L = 18-7

L = 11

L * W = 66

11 * 6 = 66

Answer:

<u>Q/ Draw a line ; Ans; </u>

$\frac{9}{5} —>1 \frac{4}{5}$

*explain ; We put the 5 in the denominator and 5 multiply 1 + 4 so equal 9 so the choice 9/5 .

Ans; 7/3—> 2 1/3

*explain ; We put the 3 in the denominator and 3 multiply 2 + 1 so equal 7 so the choice 7/3 .

Ans; 12/10 —> 1 1/5

*explain; simple (12 and 10) ÷ 2 so equal 6/5

We put the 5 in the denominator and 5 multiply 1 + 1 so equal 6 so the choice 6/5 =12/10 .

$\frac{12 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{6}{5} = 1 \frac{1}{5}$

<u>Q/ Compare the fractions;Ans;</u>

$\frac{2}{3} < \frac{14}{6}$

* explain; 2/3 = 0.66 and 14/6=2.33 so 2.33 greater from 0.66 so 14/6 greater from 2/3 .

$\frac{3}{8} < \frac{8}{3}$

* explain; 3/8 = 0.375 and 8/3=2.666 so 2.666 greater from 0.375 so 8/3 greater from 3/8 .

$2 \frac{1}{6} > \frac{5}{9}$

* explain; 2 1/6 —> We put the 6 in the denominator and 6 multiply 2 + 1 so equal 13 so equal 13/6

13/6 = 2.16 and 5/9=0.55 so 2.16 greater from 0.55 so 13/6 = 2 1/6 greater from 5/9 .

<u>Q/Add; Ans;</u>

$\frac{7}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{7 + 5}{8} = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{1}{9} + \frac{2}{3} \\ \\ \frac{1}{9} + \frac{6}{9} = \frac{ 1+6 }{9} = \frac{7}{9}$

<u>Q/Subtract; Ans;</u>

$\frac{6}{7} - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{6 - 4}{7} = \frac{2}{7}$

$\frac{7}{3} - \frac{2}{9} \\ \\ \frac{21}{9} - \frac{2}{9} = \frac{21 - 2}{9} = \frac{19}{9}$

<u>Q/ Multiply;Ans;</u>

$\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{10}$

$\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{6}{24} = \frac{1}{4}$

<u>Q/Divide;Ans;</u>

$\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{2}{5} \\ \\ \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{15}{8}$

$\frac{8}{9} \div \frac{1}{3} \\ \\ \frac{8}{9} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{24}{9} = \frac{8}{3}$

I hope I helped you^_^
