Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = width of frame.

The width of the frame is added all around the painting, so you must add 2x to the length of the painting and 2x to the width of the painting to find the total length and width including the frame.

painting length: 30

total length: 2x + 30

painting width: 20

total width: 2x + 20

total area = LW

total area = (2x + 30)(2x + 20)

total area = 1200

(2x + 30)(2x + 20) = 1200

(x + 15)(x + 10) = 300

x^2 + 10x + 15x + 150 = 300

x^2 + 25x - 150 = 0

(x - 5)(x + 30) = 0

x - 5 = 0  or  x + 30 = 0

x = 5  or x = -30

The width of the frame cannot be a negative number, so we discard the solution x = -30.

Answer: 5 cm

I NEED HELP plz i will pay u 15 points if u help meeee
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

1. 9/10  

2. 14/15

3. 1   1 /6 or 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Change the 5, the denominator to 10.  8/10

then add to 1/10  8/10 + 1/10= 9/10

2. Change both denimnators to 15. You will then get 9/15 and 5/15.

Add them together and get 14/15

3. Change both denominators to 6 and you will get 3/6 and 4/6.

Add them together to get 7/6.

If you want to make it into a mixed fraction it would be 1 1/6 (as in one and one-sixth)

Line M passes through point (3,1) and is perpendicular to the line of the equation y=3x+4. Which equation describes the graph of
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of the given line is 3 because (y = mx +c where m is the gradient)

Therefore, to find the gradient of the perpendicular line (at 90 degrees), you need to find the negative reciprocal.

The negative reciprocal of 3 is -1/3 because imagine if 3 = 3/1, to get the reciprocal, you flip it, and to get the negative, you just flip the sign.

Now we know that Line M is y = -1/3x + c, we need to find the y-intercept.

To do this, just input the point (3,1) into y = -1/3x + c, to get c. This is because we know (3,1) is on the line from the question.

So it would be 1 = (-1/3 x 3) +c

Which would be 1 = -1 +c

And so c = 2

Put everything together and you get y = -1/3x + 2
