Answer:
We are given that the frame is 2 units wide, which means that we subtract the length of the outer frame by 2 units for each side:
7 - 2 -2 = 3
9 - 2 -2 = 5
Now, we have the length and width for the smaller rectangle, so we use the area formula (area = length*width) to get:
3*5 = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Please support my answer.
28.80 + .20X = X
.20X = X - 28.80
1/5 = .20
X/5 = X -28.80
X = 5X - 144
Set the new X equal to the original X
28.80 + .20X = 5X - 144
172.8 + .20X = 5X
172.8 = 4.8X
36 = X
36$ is the original price
To check,
28.80 + (.20 x 36) = 36
28.80 + 7.2 = 36
36 = 36
9y-3y=0
6y=0
Hope that helps
Contradictions usually mean they go against established rules. Squaring a negative number is one example if it is in math. But just think of anything that goes against what is known.
