Answer:
Let the breadth is x, then the length is 3x.
<u>The area is:</u>
<u>The breadth is decreased by 2 m: </u>
<u>The length is increased by 4m: </u>
<u>The area is now:</u>
- (x - 2)(3x + 4) = 3x² - 1/3(3x²)
- 3x² + 4x - 6x - 8 = 2x²
- x² - 2x - 8 = 0
- x² - 2x + 1 = 9
- (x - 1)² = 3²
- x - 1 = 3
- x = 4
The breadth was 4 m and the length 12 m
Answer:
The total number of unbroken / working slots
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Devin's DVD case has 3 rows of slots, but 5 slots are broken
Also given that the number of slots in a row is x
1 row has x slots
3 rows has y slots
on cross multiplication we get y = 3x
ie there are a total of 3x slots in the 3 rows
Given that out of these 3x slots 5 . of the slots are broken
Therefore the total number of working slots = total number of slots - number of slots which are broken
total number of working slots are = 3x - 5
Therefore the given expression is the number of working / good slots
Answer:
the correct answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
So that would be the same thing as 5 4/5 - 3 2/7
Put them in mixed fractions to become 29/5 - 23/7
Multiply one side by 7 and one side by 5 to get the same denominator
203/35 - 115/35
Now subtract the numerators to get
88/35
Or if they want it inixed numbers then 2 18/35
