Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is not correct (particularly the expression for the area)
A=2lh+2wh
Now we are expected to solve for l, that is we are going to make l subject of the formula, we have
let us take the second term on the RHS to the LHS
we can now divide both sides by 2h we have
hence the expression for the length is
Answer:
the original price of the book is $20
Step-by-step explanation:
sometimes in a question, they put things in the question that don't actually help us get to the answer. usually we ignore it, but i'm going to list them out just to help you a bit more.
<u>Things that are useless:</u>
- his name is Jarred (his name could be gary, it doesn't affect us getting the answer)
- he went to a bookstore (he could've gone to the library, it wont affect us getting to the answer)
- the book is softcover (it could be any type of book, wont affect us getting to the answer)
- the item is a book (it could be anything that he bought, wont affect us getting to the answer.)
<u>Things that are helpful:</u>
- the book was on sale (helps us know that the price was reduced)
- the book was on sale 10% (helps us know how much it was reduced by)
- he spent $18 for the reduced price (helps us know how much he spent)
Ok, now that we know those, let's work on the question.
let b be the original book price
we need to find 10% so we have to use 90% (because 100 - 10 = 90)
if we needed to find 20% we would use 80% (because 100 - 20 = 80)
and so on.
90% of b = 18 (90% of the og. book price equals 18)
90/100 × b = 18 (write a correct equation and make the percent a fraction)
9/10 × b = 18 (simplify both sides of the equation)
9 × b = 180 (multiply both sides of the equation to get rid of fraction)
b = 20 (divide both sides of the equ. to get b by itself)
the original price of the book is $20
hope this helped :D
good luck my friend

Answer is H. p/5 = 8
Given:
1/5 of the plants in a vegetable garden are cucumber plants.
8 cucumber plants.
Find the total number of plants in the vegetable garden.
8 ÷ 1/5 = p
Steps in dividing fractions.
1) Get reciprocal of 2nd fraction. 1/5 is the 2nd fraction. Its reciprocal is 5/1
2) multiply 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
8 * 5/1 = p
3) 8*5 = p ⇒ p = 40
p * 1/5 = 8
p/5 = 8
40/5 = 8
8 = 8
