Answer:
circumference.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-2 and -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the large integer and S represent the smaller integer
Given Large Integer = 10 + 4 times Smaller Integer
Mathematically:
L = 10 + 4S -------eq 1
It is also given that the integers are consecutive,
hence L = S + 1------ eq2
Now we can solve a system of equations by substitution.
Substitute eq 2 into eq 1
S + 1 = 10 + 4S (subtract 1 from both sides)
S = 10 - 1 + 4S
S = 9 + 4S (subtract 4S from both sides)
S - 4S = 9
-3S = 9 (divide both sides by -3)
S = 9 / (-3) = -3 (answer)
form equation 2,
L = S + 1
L = -3 + 1
L = -2 (answer)
So he started with 3/4 lb and ended up with 2/3 of that so 2/3 of 3/4
'of' can be roughly translated as multiply
so 2/3 times 3/4 =6/12=1/2 lb left
or you know that there are 3 out of 4 parts pound left so 2 out of 3 parts of nuts is = 2/4 or 1/2 lb
W = L - 5
A = W.L
14 = (L - 5).L
14 = L² - 5L
L² - 5L -14 =0
(L - 7)(L + 2) = 0 {factorized}
L = 7 / L = -2
In this case L would be equal to 7 because a length of anything can't be a negative number
Therefore, W = 2
Answer : Length = 7 Width = 2
