Answer:

The new width = 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Original dimensions of the rectangular photo:

Length : width = 8 inches : 4 inches

Reduced dimensions of the rectangular photo:

Let

x = the new width

Length : width = 4 inches : x inches

Equate both dimensions to get the value of x

Length : width

8 inches : 4 inches = 4 inches : x inches

8 / 4 = 4 / x

Cross product

8 * x = 4 * 4

8x = 16

x = 16/8

x = 2 inches

The new width = 2 inches

How do i Solve: 3x2−6x−12=0 ?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

1 + root 5, 1 - root 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you mean 3x^2-6x-12=0.

First, note that you can divide both sides by 3. You get:

x^2-2x-4=0

Use the quadratic equation.

x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt{4+16}}{2}=\frac{2\pm2\sqrt{5}}{2}=1\pm\sqrt{5}

Therefore, x=1 + root 5, 1 - root 5
