.45x+.55x=200
Combine like terms
1x=200
So x is 100
Or you can do 45%+55%=100%
And 100% of 200 is 200
Side GF^2 = 144 -100
Side GF^2 = 44
Side GF = 2*sqrt(11)
Side GF = 6.6332
Perimeter = 6.6 + 10 + 12
Perimeter = 28.6
Answer is 29 units
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12. Move the variables to the left-hand side and change its sign. Move the constant to the left-hand side and change its sign. Collect like terms. Add the numbers. Divide both sides of the equation by 12.
1/2 x - 5= - 1/2 x + 19/4
6x -20= - 6x + 57
6x + 6x= 57 + 20
12x= 57 + 20
12x= 77
ANSWER
x = 77/12
Alternative Form .
x = 6 5/12, x= 6.416
Let S=larger square side and s=smaller square side. The area between the larger and smaller is simple the larger area minus the smaller area. The area of any square being s^2. So our remaining area is:
A=S^2-s^2
A=144-49=95 cm^2
