Answer:
x = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let unknown number = x
Largest 2-digit number = 99
x * (-11) = 99
x = 99 ÷ (-11)
x = -9
First we need to subtract $5 from both sides. That gives us the new equation 1.50p = 9. Then, divide 9 by 1.5, which gives you the answer. 9/1.5 = 6.
Remark
So CAB is a base 16 number? I hope that's correct. I'll treat it that way. If I am incorrect, please leave a note and I'll modify my answer accordingly.
Expand
A = 10 in decimal
B = 11 in decimal
C = 12 in decimal
B is the "units" value in decimal it is 11
A is the "tens" value or 12 place and in decimal you would get 12 * 10 = 120
C is the "hundreds" value or 12^2 place and in decimal you would get 144*12 =1728
Now you need to all all three results together. 11 + 120 + 1728 = 1850
Answer
(CAB)_16 = 1850 in decimal
The equation you'd make would be (2x-2)+(2x-2)+x+x=20 because the length is 2 m less than the width (x). To simplify, it'd be 6x-4=20 because you combine like terms. You then move the -4 over to the 20 to make it 6x=24. The final answer is 4 meters.
