It's 3...
First you add 3 to both sides.(1/3x^2=3)
Then multiply both sides by 3. (x^2=9)
Then take the square root of both sides. (x=+-3)
Finally since it is asking for the positive solution, you can remove the negative sign and so the answer is 3.
Answer:
Ellen gave 24 inches of her ribbon to the friend.
Explanation:
The total length of ribbon Ellen has = 20 feet
Used to make pillows = 12 feet
Remaining ribbon = 20-12 = 8 feet
Given to her friend = 1/4
1/4 of 8 = 1/4 × 8 = 2 feet
so she gave 2 feet of ribbon to her friend.
- As there are 12 inches in 1 foot.
so
2 feet in inches = 24 inches
Therefore, Ellen gave 24 inches of her ribbon to the friend.
