Answer: the length is 15 m and the width is 5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the original length of the rectangle.
Let W represent the original width of the rectangle.
The length of a rectangle is three times it's width. This means that
L = 3W
If the width is diminished by 1 m and length is increased by 3 m, the area of the rectangle that is formed is 72 m². This means that
(L + 3)(W - 1) = 72
LW - L + 3W - 3 - 72 = 72 + 3
LW - L + 3W = 75 - - - - -- - - - - - 1
Substituting L = 3W into equation 1, it becomes
3W × W - 3W + 3W = 75
3W² = 75
W² = 75/3 = 25
W = √25 = ±5
The width cannot be negative. Therefore, the width is 5 m
L = 3W = 3 × 5 = 15 m
Answer:
A) 3, B) 8 and 4, C) 12
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 terms: 8x^2, 4x, and 12.
The coefficiemts are numbers that come before a variable. That's why the coefficients are 8 and 4.
The constant is the number that doesn't come with a variable, thus 12.
Answer:12
Step-by-step explanation: 0.6 x 20= 12
Answer:
14 and 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that two consecutive even numbers is 30.
Let's let n be <em>any number</em>.
Then the first <em>even</em> number must be 2n.
This is because n can be any number, either even or odd. However, if we multiply it by 2, this <em>ensures</em> that 2n is even. Remember that any number multiplied by 2 yields an even number.
Therefore, the consecutive even number will be (2n+2). Not (2n+1), because that gives an odd number.
We know that they sum to 30. So, we can write the following equation.
And we solve from there:
So, the value of n is 7.
Therefore, the first even number is 7(2)=14.
And the consecutive even number is 16.
