Answer:
I will answer in a general way because the options are not given.
We know that the area of model A is smaller than the area of model B.
For model A, we have 72 shaded sections, out of 100.
Then the quotient of model A is:
72/100 = 0.72
For model B we have 10 sections, and x shaded ones.
Because model B is greater than model A, we know that:
x/10 should be larger than 72/100
then we have the inequality:
x/10 > 0.72
x > 0.72*10
x > 7.2
And we can not have more than 10 shaded sections (because there is a total of 10 sections) then:
10 ≥ x > 7.2
Then x can be any whole number in that interval.
the possible values of x are:
x = 8
x = 9
x = 10
1/12 ÷30 is equal to 1/360 or in decimal form is a repetitive decimal which is .2777777777777777777777....
Write x-4 instead of y.
x²+(x-4)²=40
x²+x²-8x+16=40
2x²-8x-24=0
x²-4x-12=0
(x-6)(x+2)=0
x=6 or x=-2
for x=6, y=6-4 = 2
for x=-2, y=-2-4 = -6
