Answer:
156
Step-by-step explanation:
While solving we will have to use the area formula of the rectangle, which is :A=w*l ; length*width=A.
Steps:
1)let’s consider that the shape is a full rectangle. => 16*12=192.
2)9*2=18 -> 18*2=36
3)192-36=156.
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Here what we need is that the ratios be equal, which is:
x:(5/2) = 8:10 or, what is the same:
x/(5/2) = 8/10
Lets pick the left term x/(5/2) and multiply both numerator and denominator by 2 to eliminate the fraction on the denominator:
2x/2(5/2) = 2x/5
Now, we would like to make a 10 appear on the denominator. As we already have a five we need to multiply numerator and denominator by the num that, multiplied by 5 gives as 10, this is 2:
2(2x)/2(5) = 4x / 10
So, we transformed x/(5/2) in 4x/10, and both are the same, so we can replace it on our first equation:
4x/10 = 8/10
As both denominators are equal, we can concentrate only in numerators:
4x = 8
Dividing both sides by 4:
x = 2
So, for x=2 both ratios are equivalents.
2s+14=12
2s=-14+12
2s=-2
s=-2÷2
s=-1
