Answer:
(-6,-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
first piece = 5 m
second piece = 2(5) + 2 = 12 m
third piece = 3(2x + 2) = 6(5) + 6 = 36 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete, the length of the actual rope is unknown but it should be given . Let us assume the length of the rope is 53 meters.
The rope is cut into 3 pieces of different length.
first piece = x
second piece = 2x + 2
third piece = 3(2x + 2) = 6x + 6
Since the length of the actual rope is assumed to be 53 meters .The length of the first piece, second piece and third piece can be calculated as follows.
we add the length of the pieces to get the actual length of each piece. Therefore,
x + 2x + 2 + 6x + 6 = 53
collect like terms
9x + 8 = 53
9x = 53 - 8
9x = 45
x = 45/9
x = 5 meters
first piece = 5 m
second piece = 2(5) + 2 = 12 m
third piece = 3(2x + 2) = 6(5) + 6 = 36 m
I think you left out the word half. I am going to assume you meant half. If half the garden is planted with flowers, then you take away half of the area, which would be 36. that leaves you with 36sq.ft. that he has used to plant vegetables
Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
The average cost of the automobile in 2013 is $16,000
The present cost now is $20,000
Therefore the rate of increase between the two automobiles can be calculated as follows
= 20,000-16,000/16,000
= 4,000/16,000
= 0.25×100
= 25%
Hence the rate of increase is 25%
