Answer:

Lets take all factors into consideration first

The door is a rectangle and the area of a rectangle is length times width

Let the width be w

Let the length be l

Equation length × breadth = area

(w+48)w = 3024

w^2 + 48w = 3024

w^2 + 48w - 3024 = 0

w^2 + 84w - 36w - 3024 = 0

w(w + 84) -36 ( w + 84) = 0

(w + 84) (w - 36) = 0

w + 84 = 0 AND w - 36 =0

w = -84 and w = 36

Since width cannot be negative, the right answer is 36

How did I get 84 and 36? Well, I had to factorize 3024 and since 84 times 36 is 3024 and 84 minus 36 is 48, I chose them.

Solve for x ax+3b=2f

Paladinen [302]

You said ax + 3b = 2f

Subtract 3b from each side: ax = 2f - 3b

Divide each side by 'a' : x = (2f - 3b) / a

Step-by-step explanation:

Needed information

$\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}$

The sum of the probabilities of all outcomes must equal 1

Solution

We are told that the probability that the counter is not black is 3/4.

As the sum of the probabilities of all outcomes must equal 1, we can work out the probability that the counter is black by subtracting 3/4 from 1:

$\sf P(counter\:not\:black)=\dfrac34$

$\implies \sf P(counter\:black)=1-\dfrac34=\dfrac14$

We are told that the probability that the counter is not white is 2/3.

As the sum of the probabilities of all outcomes must equal 1, we can work out the probability that the counter is white by subtracting 2/3 from 1:

$\sf P(counter\:not\:white)=\dfrac23$

$\implies \sf P(counter\:white)=1-\dfrac23=\dfrac13$

We are told that there are black, white and grey counters in the bag. We also know that the sum of the probabilities of all outcomes must equal 1. Therefore, we can work out the probability the counter is grey by subtracting the probability the counter is black and the probability the counter is white from 1:

$\begin{aligned}\sf P(counter\:grey) & = \sf1-P(counter\:black)-P(counter\:white)\\\\ & =\sf 1-\dfrac14-\dfrac13\\\\ & = \sf \dfrac{12}{12}-\dfrac{3}{12}-\dfrac{4}{12}\\\\ & = \sf \dfrac{12-3-4}{12}\\\\ & = \sf \dfrac{5}{12}\end{aligned}$
