The area of a rectangle is calculated as length times its width. So, for the given area above, the expression should b written as:
20 = LW
To know the length for various measurement of the width, we can write it by:
L = 20 / W
You can substitute any measurement to W and you can obtain the corresponding value of the length.
The 20th visitor will be the first to get both the key chain and the bumper sticker, I found this out by finding the least common multiple, or LCM, you do this by writing out the multiples of both 4 and 10, 4 8 12 16 20..... and 10 20 30... then you find the smallest number that both 4 and 10 have in common. I hope this helps, sorry if it doesn't.
The larger one is (-11 + 41)/2 = 15.
The smaller one is (-11 -41)/2 = -26.
_____
For two numbers a and b with sum s and difference d, you can write the equations
Then adding the equations and dividing that sum by 2, you get
You can subtract the second eqution from the first and get a similar result for the smaller number
These are the formulas we used above.
Y = 5(3x)....y = total number of bowls and x = number of weeks
for 4 weeks......x = 4
y = 5(3*4)
y = 5(12)
y = 60...so the family will eat 60 bowls in 4 weeks
