The correct answer is division
Answer:
Width=10
Length=18
Step-by-step explanation:
The length is 2 feet less then twice the width
Let the width be x.
Then the length is 2x -2 based on the given information. Use this to make an equation since it is known that the area is 180feet squared.
x(2x-2)=180
2x^2 - 2x - 180 = 0
2( x^2 - x - 90) = 0
We now have a factorable quadratic.
2(x+9)(x-10)=0
So by zero product property, x=-9, x=10 Since a measure cannot be negative, -9 is an extraneous solution.
So x=10
Then the width is 10 and the length is 18
Hope this helps! Let me know if it is correct!
There are 2 ways to turn a number into a percent...
(1) move the decimal 2 spaces to the right....0.3 = 30%
(2) multiply by 100....0.3 x 100 = 30%
Answer:
11/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding the common denominator, which is 20, we convert 1/5 into 4/20 and 1/4 into 5/20. Adding those up, the remainder when subtracted from 1, the total, is 11/20.
