Answer:
The value of x is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x, we need to note that the interior angles are equal to 180. We also know that angle R is equal to 180 - (8 + 6x). So we can add all of this together and set equal to 180.
180 - (8 + 6x) + 4x + 2 + 30 = 180
180 - 8 - 6x + 4x + 2 + 30 = 180
-2x + 24 = 0
-2x = -24
x = 12
We are told that 21% of the total cans is 63 cans, therefore
100% of all the cans collected would be.
(63*100)/21=300 cans were collected in all
0.04 is multiplied 10 times to get 0.004
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Original width = 6
New width 6+x+x
Orignal length 12
New length 12+x+x
A = l*w
160 = ( 6+2x) ( 12+2x)
Factor
160 = 2( 3+x) 2(6+x)
Divide each side by 4
40 = (3+x) (6+x)
FOIL
40 = 18+ 6x+3x+ x^2
40 = 18 +9x+x^2
Subtract 40 from each side
0 = x^2 +9x -22
Factor
0 = (x +11) (x-2)
Using the zero product property
x +11 =0 x-2 =0
x= -11 x=2
Since we cannot have a negative sidewalk
x =2
