Answer:

The width of the is 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the width of the frame is x

∵ The width of the fame is x inches

→ That means each dimension will increase by 2x ⇒ x from each side

∵ The portrait has dimensions of 30“ x 60“

∴ Its dimensions including the frame = (30 + 2x) × (60 + 2x)

∴ The total area of the portrait plus frame = (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x)

→ Multiply the brackets

∵ (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x) = 30(60) + 30(2x) + 2x(60) + (2x)(2x)

∴ (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x) = 1800 + 60x + 120x + 4x²

→ Add the like terms

∴ (30 + 2x)(60 + 2x) = 1800 + 180x + 4x²

∴ The total area of the portrait plus frame = 4x² + 180x + 1800

∵ The total area of the portrait plus frame = 2584 square inches

→ Equate the two right sides of the area

∴ 4x² + 180x + 1800 = 2584

→ Subtract 2584 from both sides

∴ 4x² + 180x + 1800 - 2584 = 0

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∴ 4x² + 180x - 784 = 0

→ Divide all terms by 4 to simplify

∴ x² + 45x - 196 = 0

→ Factorize it to find the value of x

∵ x² + 45x - 196 = (x - 4)(x + 49)

→ Equate the right side by 0

∴ (x - 4)(x + 49) = 0

→ Equate each factor by 0

∵ x - 4 = 0  

→ Add 4 to both sides to find x

∴ x = 4

∵ x + 49 = 0

→ Subtract 49 from both sides to find x

∴ x = -49 ⇒ refused it x can not be -ve (no negative dimensions)

∴ The width of the is 4 inches

Find the value of $x$ so that the ratios are equivalent.<br><br> x:5/2 and 8:10
Scrat [10]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here what we need is that the ratios be equal, which is:

x:(5/2) = 8:10 or, what is the same:

x/(5/2) = 8/10

Lets pick the left term x/(5/2) and multiply both numerator and denominator by 2 to eliminate the fraction on the denominator:

2x/2(5/2) = 2x/5

Now, we would like to make a 10 appear on the denominator. As we already have a five we need to multiply numerator and denominator by the num that, multiplied by 5 gives as 10, this is 2:

2(2x)/2(5) = 4x / 10

So, we transformed x/(5/2)  in 4x/10, and both are the same, so we can replace it on our first equation:

4x/10 = 8/10

As both denominators are equal, we can concentrate only in numerators:

4x = 8

Dividing both sides by 4:

x = 2

So, for x=2 both ratios are equivalents.

Sandy is working with a carpenter to frame a house. They are using 8 foot long boards but each board must be cut to be 7 feet, 1
quester [9]
The answer is 5/4 in

The initial length:
1 ft = 12 in
8 ft = 8 * 12 in
      = 96 in

The final length:
7 ft 10 3/4 in = 7 ft + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 7 * 12 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 84 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
                     = 94 in + 3/4 in

The cut if the initial length - final length:
96 in - 94 in - 3/4 in = 2 in - 3/4 in = 8/4 in - 3/4 in = 5/4 in

Edwin got 95% of the questions right on a quiz. If there were 20 questions on the quiz, how many questions did he miss??
Fed [463]

Answer:

1 question

Step-by-step explanation:

If Edwin got a 95% of the questions right on a 20 question quiz, .95(20) is 19, meaning that he got 19 questions right. 20-19 is 1, which means he got 1 question wrong.

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points R(-5,5) and S(4.6).
tigry1 [53]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the x value of the midpoint, you add the x values and divide by 2.

-5+4=-1

-1/2=-1/2

For the y value, you add the y values and divide by 2.

5+6=11

11/2=5 1/2

So, the midpoint is (-1/2, 5 1/2).

Have a wonderful day! :D
