19 is a prime number so 1, 19
hope this helps!
Create an equation using the formula for area of a rectangle; area = width * length
(X + 2)(x + 3) = 600
Multiply the dimensions.
X^2 + 3x + 2x +6 = 600, or simplified x^2 +5x + 6 = 600.
Subtract 600 to get the following:
X^2 + 5x - 594 = 0
Factor by x:
(X - 22)(x + 27) = 0
Solve for x
X - 22 = 0
X = 22.
Use the POSITIVE VALUE of x as you can’t have a negative area for a room.
Then substitute 22 for x to get the dimensions
(22+ 2) or 24 for length and (22+3) or 25 for width.
Equation: 2/5 + p = 4/5 + 3/5p
Simplify Both Sides:
p + 2/5 = 3/5p + 4/5
Subtract 3/5p from both sides:
p + 2/5 - 3/5p = 3/5p + 4/5 - 3/5p
2/5p + 2/5 = 4/5
Subtract 2/5 from both sides:
2/5p + 2/5 - 2/5 = 4/5 - 2/5
2/5p = 2/5
Multiply both sides by 5/2
(5/2) * (2/5p) = (5/2) * (2/5)
p = 1
Answer: p = 1
Hope that helps!!! (Answer: Letter Choice (A), p = 1
