Lets write as an equation the info provided in the problem:
original area = 200*300 = 60000 squared meters
Adding x meters to the length is: 300 + x
Adding x meters to the width is: 200 + x
If the area doubles in size we have: 2*<span>60000
Now writing as a single equation all info:
(300 + x)(200 + x) = 120000
We have to make the operations and solve:
60000 + 300x + 200x + x^2 = </span><span>120000
x^2 + 500x - 60000 = 0
This is a squared trinomial, to solve it we need two numbers that subtracted give us 500 and multiplied -60000:
(x + 600)(x -100) = 0
So there are two solutions, x = -600 and x = 100, we choose the positive one:
x = 100
thererefore the value of x is 100 meters</span>

Answer:
1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that Helen will roll a 4 is 1/6 the probability that she will get tails is 1/2. Multiply those two events together to find the probability of P(A and B)
The general line through (a,b) and (c,d) is
(c-a)(y-b)=(d-b)(x-a)
Here that's
(1 - - 5)(y - - 5) = (4 - -5)(x - - 5)
6(y+5)=9(x+5)
6y + 30 = 9x + 45
-15 = 9x - 6y
3x - 2y = -5
Answer: 3x - 2y = -5
We could put that in slope intercept form,
2y = 3x + 5
y = (3/2) x + 5/2
Answer: y = (3/2) x + 5/2
