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:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first expression
15 + 2d
A possible word problem would be this:
A person saves $2 per day of money. Before he started saving, he had $15 dollars set aside. Look for the expression that expresses the total amount of money saved in terms of the number of days passed
The second expression is
200 - 2m
A possible word problem would be this:
The distance from school to the park is 200m. A kid riding a bike is traveling at a speed of 2m/s from the school to the park. Write an expression for the distance remaining between the park and the kid.<span />
Maximum time allowed = 7 deg. / 0.03 deg/s = 233.3 s
Minimum speed = 55 yd * 3 ft/yd / 233.3 s
= 0.707 ft/s
