Assign the following variables for the origina3l rectangle:
let w = width let w + 8 = length and the area would be w(w + 8) = w² + 8w
No for the second rectangle:
let (w + 4) = width and (w + 8 - 5) or (w + 3) = length
Area = length x width or (w + 4)(w + 3) = w² + 3w + 4w + 12 using the foil method to multiply to binomials. Simplified Area = w² + 7w + 12
Now our problem says that the two area will be equal to each other, which sets up the following equation:
w² + 8w = w² + 7w + 12 subtract w² from both sides
8w = 7w + 12 subtract 7w from both sides
w = 12 this is the width of our original rectangle
recall w + 8 = length, so length of the original rectangle would be 20
Answer:
40%.
Step-by-step explanation:
40% of 150 is 60.
The missing number is 20
<h3>How to determine the number</h3>
We can see that the values at the top must be made equal to that at the bottom
For the top, we have
30 + 11 = 41
For the bottom, we should have:
21 + x = 41
Now, let's solve for 'x' to determine the missing figure;
21 + x = 41
collect like terms
x = 41 - 21
x = 20
Thus, the missing number is 20
