Answer (x represents the first direction and the y represents the second direction):
- (x - 3) × (y + 5)
- New bedroom: 7 ft × 15 ft. Her new bedroom is 5 sq. ft larger than her old bedroom
I hope this helps!
What are we multiplying exactly?
<u>Question 1 solution:</u>
You have two unknowns here:
Let the Water current speed = W
Let Rita's average speed = R
We are given <em>two </em>situations, where we can form <em>two equations</em>, and therefore solve for the <em>two unknowns, W, R</em>:
Part 1) W→ , R←(against current, upstream)
If Rita is paddling at 2mi/hr against the current, this means that the current is trying to slow her down. If you look at the direction of the water, it is "opposing" Rita, it is "opposite", therefore, our equation must have a negative sign for water<span>:
</span>R–W=2 - equation 1
Part 2) W→ , R<span>→</span>(with current)
Therefore, R+W=3 - equation 2
From equation 1, W=R-2,
Substitute into equation 2.
R+(R–2)=3
2R=5
R=5/2mi/hr
So when W=0 (still), R=5/2mi/hr
Finding the water speed using the same rearranging and substituting process:
1... R=2+W
2... (2+W)+W=3
2W=1
W=1/2mi/hr
Answer:
Dont count me if I'm wrong but if you divide 225 by 30 you get 7.5
So your answer should be 7.5
N+14=17. n=3. So the missing number is 3.
