A
Don't forget that you can also pull out an x besides the 10. The expression should look like this.
A(x) = 10x(x - 5)
The GCF is 10x
B
The area of the Bedroom = 10x ( x - 5)
If the length = 5x then the width is
A/L = 10x (x - 5)/(5x)= 2*(x - 5)
C
Now they are changing the Length to the GCF. We determined in A that the GCF = 10x
This time A/L = 10x(x - 5)/10x = (x - 5)
So the width = x - 5
-4p+19=11
Subtract 19 from both sides
-4p = -8
Divide each side by 4. It is a positive number.
The answer to this point. is to add then multiple. 1 year
y = amount needed at 55% alcohol.
x = amount of pure water, or 0% alcohol
so, you have on hand 330 mL of 80% alcohol, so how much alcohol only is there on that mixture? well, is 330 mL, so 80% of 330 is 330 * (80/100) = 330 * 0.8 = 264 mL.
likewise, let's convert the other perecentage values to deciaml, bearing in mind that pure water is, well just pure water, it has no alcohol, or we can say that it has 0% alcohol.
