The initial dimenssions of the park lot are:
length: 140 ft
width: 90 ft
initial area: 140 * 90 = 12,600 ft^2
Area increased 29% = 12,600 * 1.29 = 16,254 ft^2
width of the strips: x
New length: 140 + x
New width: 90 + x
New area: (140+x)(90+x) = 16,254
Solution of the equation:
12600 + 230x + x^2 = 16254
=> x^2 + 230x - 3654 = 0
Use the quadratic formula.
x = {-230 +/- √[ 230^2 - 4*1*(-3654) ]} / 2 =
x = 14.92
The other solution is negative so it is discarded.
Answer: 15 ft
Answer:
y=1, x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=3
x-y=1
Using elimination method
x-x+y--y=3-1
2y= 2
y=1
Substitute y=1 into equation 2
x-1=1
x=1+1
x=2
The notation per capita simply means that the number is
divided by the total population. Therefore the number of McDonald’s per capita
in Canada 2013 is:
McDonald’s per capita = 1427 / 35,160,000
<span>McDonald’s per capita = 4.06 x 10^-5</span>
So, this is a proportion problem. If we express 75% as a fraction (3/4ths), we have:
Since he won all of his games, we add the number won (x), to the number previously won and divide it by the total games played which is just the previous games played plus the number of current games played, so since he lost no games we still add x to the denominator as well. Solving this gives us:
That x value is 20.
