This is the concept of algebra, to calculate the proportion of wool in each item we proceed as follows;
Let the amount of wool used for hat be x
amount of wool in sweater will be 5x
the amount of wool used in scarf will be x-5
therefore the total amount of wool will be:
x+5x+(x-5)=550
x+5x+x-5=550
7x-5=550
7x=550+5
7x=555
hence;
x=555/7
x=79
the amount used in hat x=79g
amount used in sweater 5x=395g
amount used in scarf=79-5=74g
Answer:
7 - x meters
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a difference of squares. The formula for difference of squares is
a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
So plug the numbers we know into this formula.
Area = lw
49 - x^2 = (a-b)(7+x)
49 - x^2 = (7-x)(7+x)
<u>The length is 7 - x meters.</u>
