<h3><u>Part A: An equation to represent this situation, where x represents the original length of the rectangle is:</u></h3>
<h3><u>Part B: Original length of the rectangle is 12 inches</u></h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
A rectangle has a width of 2.5
Therefore,
width = 2.5 inches
Let "x" be the original length of the rectangle
When the length of this rectangle is decreased by 5 inches
Therefore,
New length = x - 5
The new area of the rectangle is 17.5 square inches
Therefore,
<em><u>The area of rectangle is given as:</u></em>
Thus original length of the rectangle is 12 inches
Answer:
Hello! answer: x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
If the circles each represent 1 then each sode has 6 circles but the other side has 3 circles sense this is balanced equal that means x must equal 1 for them both to equal 9 on each side because 6 + 3 = 9 Hope that explains well.
The answer is 165 because you take 66 and multiply it by .40 and you end up with 165. (.40 because percent means of one hundred so you make 40 to .40 )
Subtract them but turn 532 into a decimal
Mental math and associative property of addition
i look at 173 and 427 and see that
73+27=100
i add now the 100(from 173)+400(from 427)+100(see above)=600
easy
600+301=901
