From the given condition, it must be seen to it that the width must also be the lowest whole-number possible. Thus, the width should be equal to 1 yard. The given 36 is the perimeter of the run.
P = 2L + 2W
36 = 2L + 2(1)
L = 17
Thus, the longest whole-number length is equal to 17 yards.
8a - 4 = 25 + 6 (a - 8)
(distribute the 6)
8a - 4 = 25 + 6a - 48
(combine like terms 25 - 48)
8a - 4 = 6a - 23
( subtract 6a from both sides)
2a - 4 = -23
(add 4 to both sides)
2a = -19
(divide both sides by 2)
a = - 9.5
////CHECK/////
8 (-9.5) - 4 = 25 + 6 ( -9.5 -8)
(plug each side into a calculator)
-80 = -80
FINAL ANSWER:
a = -9.5
I think the answer is 36!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I take it that this is some sort of ratio. Start by solving the brackets on the left.
Brackets: 1/3 - 1/10
Brackets: 10/30 - 3/30
Brackets: 7/30
Brackets^2: 49/900
Brackets^2 - 1/5: 49/900 - 180/900
Brackets^2 - 1/5: -131/900
(2/5)^2 = 4/25
The way this read, it should be
Which when you invert and multiply becomes
which finally becomes
It is 2 4/5, 2 4/5 is 2.8, 4/5 is greater than 3/4
