x + 16 = 64 |subtract 16 from both sides
x = 48
The answer is: Yes 10-2x is less than 10, x= -5
To find the area of a rectangle, multiple the width by the length.
(And simply the fractions for a simpler equation)
For piece A:
The length 1 and 3/5 can be turned into an improper fraction by multiplying 1 by the denominator (5) and adding it to the numerator (3). 1 and 3/5 = 8/5
(3/4) • (8/5) = area
Multiple the numerators with each other and the denominators with each other (3 times 8 = 24) (4 times 5 = 20)
The area of piece A is 24/20
If you do the same for piece B:
(2/5) • (21/8) = area
The answer is 42/40
TW x WU = CW x VW
Fill in the known values:
WU = TU - TW = 21.2 - 14.6 = 6.6
14.6 x 6.6 = 6 x VW
Simplify:
96.36 = 6VW
Divide both sides by 6:
VW = 96.36 / 6
VW = 16.06
Round to one decimal place:
VW = 16.1
The answer is D>
