Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Let the width = x
Let the length = x + 5
Equation
2w + 2W = P
Solution
2x + 2(x + 5) = 192 Remove the brackets <=== Answer
2x + 2x + 10 = 192 Combine like terms
4x + 10 = 192 Subtract 10 from both sides
4x = 192 - 10
4x = 182 Divide by 4
4x/4 = 182/4
x = 45.5
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
x= length, y=width
Both the length and width were increased by 60% so now they are:
1.6x and 1.6y
Then they were both reduced by 25% so now they are 75%(100-25) of their previous size so they are:
0.75(1.6x) and 0.75(1.6y)
Their area would be length * width so it would be:
0.75(1.6x) * 0.75(1.6y)
Simplified this would be:
1.2x * 1.2y
Simplified more it would be :
1.44xy which is also 144% of xy which is a 44% increase of the original area (xy)
So the answer is:
44%
