Square both sides
9(x + 2) = x + 4
Expand
9x + 18 = x + 4
Subtract x from both sides
9x + 18 - x = 4
Simplify 9x + 18 - x to 8x + 18
8x + 18 = 4
Subtract 18 from both sides
8x = 4 - 18
Simplify 4 - 18 to -14
8x = -14
Divide both sides by 8
x = -14/8
Simplify 14/8 to 7/4
<u>C. x = -7/4</u>
4y=5x+8
5y=-2x+30
the y always goes first. then the equal sign. next is x and finally just the digit which is also known as "b".
Answer:
y=50x
Step-by-step explanation:
distance = 50 times the laps
100= 50 x 2
200 = 50 x 4
250= 50 x 5
400 = 50 x 8
Answer:
There are 271.74 ft^2 not covered by the rug
The percentage not covered by the rug is 90.58%
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find out the area of the room
The area of the rectangular room is

step 2
Find out the area of the circular rug
The area of the circle is

we have

----> the radius is half the diameter
substitute


step 3
Find out what percentage of the room is not covered by the rug
we know that
300 ft^2 represent the 100%
so
using proportion
Find out what percentage represent the difference (300-28.26)=271.74 ft^2
Let
x ----> the percentage not covered by the rug

Convert to fraction form

Simplify

therefore
There are 271.74 ft^2 not covered by the rug
The percentage not covered by the rug is 90.58%
