Answer:

Mia scored 6 baskets Last Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

Mia made score of baskets on Last Saturday = x

Mia made score of baskets yesterday = 3x (Mia made three times as many baskets in yesterday’s basketball game as she did last Saturday. three times means multiply 3 with score of Last Saturday baskets, i.e. x)

Total score of baskets = 24

We need to find How many baskets did Mia score last Saturday?

We can write:

<em>Total Score = Score on Last Saturday + Score yester</em>day

$24=x+3x$

Solving this equation we can find value of x:

$24=x+3x\\24=4x\\=>4x=24\\x=\frac{24}{4}\\x=6$

So, we get value of x = 6

Mia made score of baskets on Last Saturday = x = 6

Mia scored 6 baskets Last Saturday.

Steven has some money if he spends nine dollars then he will have 3/5 of the amount he started with

Vesna [10]

Total money * fraction = part
$x* \frac{3}{5} =9 \\ ( \frac{5}{3}) * \frac{3x}{5} = 9* \frac{5}{3} \\ x= \frac{45}{3} =15$

18=a<br> Over 2 <br> How do you solve that as a one step

Aloiza [94]

Multiply both sides by 2
(2) 18 = x/2 (2)
the /2 (2) gets canceled out
so it's 36= x

Hope this helps

A farmer has a 100 ft by 200 ft rectangular field that he wants to increase by 15.5% by cultivating a strip of uniform width aro

Advocard [28]

Answer:

(a) The strip should be 5ft wide

(b) The strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the rectangular field, L= 200 ft

width of the rectangular field, w = 100 ft

Area of the rectangular field, A = 200ft x 100ft = 20000 ft^2

let the width of the strip = x

The strip around the outside field = 2x

If the field is increased by 15.5%

New area of the field = 1.155 x 20000 = 23,100 ft^2

The increase in area of the field = 3,100 ft

3,100 = New area of field - old area of the field

3100 = (200 + 2x)(100 + 2x) - 20000

3100 = 20000 + 400x 200x + 4x^2 - 20000

3100 = 600x + 4x^2

Divide through by 4

775 = 150x + x^2

x^2 + 150x - 775 = 0

Factorize

(x + 155)(x-5) = 0

x = 5 ft

The strip should be 5ft wide.

The strip around the outside field = 2 x 5 ft = 10 ft

Thus, the strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.
