Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle = width × length
Therefore, to find the length of the rectangle, we need to divide the area by the width.
Using long division:
Therefore, the <u>length</u> of the rectangle is:
Set x equal to the amount of money Kim gets, and y for Molly's money.
x = 2/5y, since the ratio is 2:5.
y = 105 + x, since Molly has 105 more pounds than Kim.
Substitute x into this equation, so that y = 105 + 2/5y. Subtract 2/5y from both sides to get 3/5y = 105. Divide each side by 0.6 (equivalent to 3/5) and you get y = 175, which is how much Molly has. Kim gets 2/5 of Molly's share (or 105 fewer pounds), so she has 70.
70 + 175 (Kim and Molly's shares) is equal to 245. Therefore, Laura receives the remaining 140 pounds.
140/385 = a/100
Cross multiply so that 385a is 14000. Divide by 385 to get 36.4 (rounded).
Thus, Laura receives about 36.4% of the total money. Hope this helps (:
Factor the coefficients:
-12=(-1)(3)(2^2)
-9=(-1)(3^2)
3=3
The greatest common factor (GCF) is 3
Next we find the GCF for the variable x.
x^4
x^3
x^2
The GCF is x^2.
Next GCF for variable y.
y
y^2
y^3
the GCF is y
Therefore the GCF is 3x^2y
To factor this out, we need to divide each term by the GCF,
(3x^2y)(−12x4y/(3x^2y) − 9x3y2/(3x^2y) + 3x2y3/(3x^2y) )
=(3x^2y)(-4x^2-3xy+y^2)
if we wish, we can factor further:
(3x^2y)(y-4x)(x+y)
I’m not sure what happened while you were writing this, but if I’m reading it right, “My” has 18 books. If “My” has 3 times as many as 6, that also means 3 times 6, which is 18.
