3x9=27
21/3 = 7
so
7+27x9+5
27x9=243
243+7+5
answer is 255
For this case we can solve the problem by means of the following rule of three:
94 --------> 100%
17 --------> x
Clearing x we have:
x = (17/94) * (100)
x = 18,08510638%
To the nearest tenth of a percent:
x = 18.1%
Answer:
This is 18.1% of his compact discs.
Answer:
2 positive * 1 negative = negative
2 negative * 1 positive = positive
Step-by-step explanation:
one positive and 2 negative
(+ * -) * - =
positive times negative = negative * negative = positive
(+ * -) * - = +
now if we change the order by putting parenthesis
+ *( - * -)
negative time negative = positive
+ * (+) = positive
the result is positive
The result does not change because of where we put the parentheses.
- * + * + =
negative times positive = negative
negative * positive= negative
- * + * + = negative
The order does not matter
Answer:
Length = 9units
Width = 7units
Step-by-step explanation:
It is said that the length is 2units more than the width
Assume that the width is x, then the length will be 2 + x
ie
Width = x
Length = 2 + x
Area of the rectangle = 63units
Area of rectangle = l * b
l - length of the rectangle
b - width of the rectangle
A = l * b
63 = (2 + x) * x
63 = ( 2 + x) x
63 = 2x + x^2
Let's rearrange it
x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0
Let's find the factor of 63
A factor that can be multiplied to give -63 and that can be added to give +2
Let's use -7 and +9
x^2 - 7x + 9x - 63 = 0
Separate with brackets
( x^2 - 7x) + ( 9x - 63) = 0
x( x - 7) + 9(x - 7) = 0
( x + 9)(x - 7) = 0
( x + 9) = 0
( x - 7) = 0
x + 9 = 0
x = -9
x - 7 = 0
x = 7
Note: the length of a rectangle can not be negative
So therefore,
x = 7
Length = 2 + x
= 2 + 7
= 9units
Width = x
= 7units
