The original are would be 48.
Since we know that the length and width are two consecutive even integers, we can model them as follows:
Width = x
Length = x + 2
This works because no matter what even number is put in for x, the length will also be even.
Now we know if we subtract 3 from the width, we have a new rectangle that gives us an area of 24 inches. Therefore, our new triangle has the following:
Width: x - 3
Length: x + 2
Area: 24
And we can plug this into the equation.
Length* Width = Area
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 24
x^2 - x - 6 = 24
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
This is not a quadratic that we can factor to show the following:
(x - 6)(x + 5) = 0
This gives us the answers of x = 6 and x = -5. Since a side can't be negative, we throw out the x = -5 and the answer is x = 6.
So if we go back to the original rectangle, we know:
Width = x = 6
Length = x + 2 = 8
Area = 6*8 = 48
So I just set up a division for this question. I hope this helped and ask for any further help.
Answer:
1 1/30 gallons, or 31/30 gallons of paint
Step-by-step explanation:
Before these fractions can be added together they have to have a common denominator. The Least Common Multiple of 2, 3, and 5 is 30, so
1/3 = 10/30 1/5 = 6/30 1/2 = 15/30
10/30 + 6/30 + 15/30 = 31/30, or 1 1/30
Answer:
3.95 and -3.95
Step-by-step explanation:
To graph a circle you can use the formula or (x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r^2. So substituting in the given, we get x^2+y^2=49/pi. The x intercept is when y=0. So x^2=49/pi and so
x = sqrt(49/pi) and rounding to the nearest tenth, we get 3.95 and -3.95 because it isn’t a principal square root.
