The answer to this question is D) 13.9 in.
Try using the Pythagorean theorem when solving to get the hypotenuse or other angles for a right triangle.
Divide both sides by -3, and replace
with
. Then

Factorize the quadratic in
to get

which in turn means

But
for all real
, so we can ignore the first solution. This leaves us with

If we allow for any complex solution, then we can continue with the solution we ignored:

Answer: 31.2
Step-by-step explanation: 100 - 92 = 8%
3390 acres ---- 100%
x acres ------ 8%
Match up each of the corresponding sides, and simplify the ratio.
That ratio is the scale factor.
To find the number you would start by writing out the equation using x as the number. The equation would be x+2x=21. The first step to solve this equation would be to combine like terms, making the equation 3x=21. Finally, you would divide both sides by three, making your answer x=7.
