Answer:
Ellen invested $60 and Bob invested $140
Step-by-step explanation:
let the two amounts invested by 3x and 7x
(notice 3x : 7x = 3 : 7 )
then 3x + 7x = 200
10x = 200
x = 20
then 3x = 3(20) = 60
and 7x = 7(20) = 140
60+140=200
<span>To minimize the perimeter you should always have a square.
sqrt(289) = 17
The dimensions should be 17 X 17
To see , try starting at length 1, and gradually increase the length.
The height decreases at a faster rate than the length increases, up until you reach a square.
Or if you want to use algebra, Say the width is 17-x
Then the length is 289/(17-x)
Now, this is bigger than 17+x, as shown here:
289/(17-x) > 17+x
289 > 289 - x^2
which is true.
so the perimeter would be bigger than 2 * (17- x + 17 + x) = 2 * (2 * 17) = 4 * 17
Again, the dimensions should be a square. 17 X 17.</span>
Answer:
The smaller number is 5.
The bigger number is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be x and the bigger number be x+10.
x+x+10 = 4x
2x+10 = 4x
10 = 4x-2x
2x = 10
x = 10÷2
= 5
x+10 = 5+10
= 15
Let the width = w.
The length is 6 times the width, so the length is 6w.
The perimeter is 70.
P = 2L + 2W
70 = 2(6w) + 2(w)
70 = 12w + 4w
70 = 14w
5 = w
The width is 5.
The length is 6 times the width, so the length is 6 * 5 = 30
Area of rectangle = LW
A = 5 * 30 = 150
