Answer: The new length is: (y - x) metres.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a piece of string that is y metres long, and we cut x metres of strings from it, then the new length of the string will be equal to the difference between the initial length and the amount that we cut off.

So the initial length is y metres.

We cut x metres.

The new length is: (y - x) metres.

Answer:

(3) 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of leg XY. Then the length of YZ is x/2 and the area of the right triangle is ...

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2(x)(x/2) = x²/4

36 = x²/4 . . . . . use the given value for area

144 = x² . . . . . . multiply by 4

√144 = 12 = x . . . . . take the square root

The length of leg XY is 12 cm.

Leona [35]

$\text{Find how much she was discounted:}\\\\\text{We know that the base price of the phone is 700}\\\\\text{It's on sale for 1/5 of the price (20\%), so multiply 700 by 0.20 and subtract}\\\\700*0.20=140\\\\700-140=560\\\\\text{Now, we know that there's a 10\% discount off the sale price, so precede}\\\text{with the same steps}\\\\560*0.10=56\\\\560-56=504\\\\\text{To find total discount price, subtract 504 from the original price}\\\\700-504=196\\\\\boxed{\$196}$
