Yes 8.54 as rational number because in can be written as 854/100
The perimeter represents the amount of wood needed and the area represents the amount of class needed.
so 2*(2/3) + 2(2) = 4/3 + 4= 4 4/3 or 5 1/3 wood is needed for the border.
for the mirror, you will need the area= 4/3 * 2 = 8/3 sq yds or 2 2/3 sq yards is needed.
Answer: y-32+4y
Step-by-step explanation:
y-32: the difference of y and 32. +4y : <u>plus the product of y and 4</u>
-1/2 / 3/4 =
The first step is to flip the second fraction and change division to multiplication. Then multiply straight across.
-1/2 x 4/3 = -4/6
In simplified form:
-4/6 = -2/3
"Isolate the constant by adding 7 to both sides of the equation."
This step separates the non-squareable 7 and the squareable

.
"Add 9 to both sides of

to form a perfect square trinomial while keeping the equation balanced."
After separating the non-squareable, add the number which makes the first or left side a perfect square trinomial. The formula to find the number is:

.
When we plug the values:
Simplify:

"Write the trinomial

as

squared."
When you factor

, you will get

.
"Use the square root property of equality to get

."
The 16 is coming from the part when we add 9. We needed 9 on the left side for a perfect square, but to protect the balance of the equality, we need to add 9 to the right side too. When we add 7 and 9, we got 16, and that is where it came from.
"Isolate the variable x to get solutions of -1 and 7."
To isolate x we branched the plus-minus sign:
