Find the value of x so the rectangles have the same area

Mathematics

Area of rectangles = width * length.
So x*12 = 12x = area of first rectangle
So 16*(x-2) = 16x -32 = area of second rectangle

The question states to make them equal, so:
first rectangle = second rectangle
12x = 16x -32
Solve for x
-4x = -32
4x = 32
x = 8

I need to know what is 190% of 40?
MrRissso [65]
40/x=100/190 40/x=100/190
(40/x)*x=(100/190)*x
40=0.526315789474*x
(0.56315789474) to get x
40/0.536315789474=x
76=x
x=76 now we have 190% of 76

What is the value of a in the equation 5a -10b = 45 when b = 3
leva [86]
Salutations!

5a-10b = 45

value of b = 3

Multiply 10 and 3

10*3=30

Now, you can solve the equation --

5a-30=45

separate the variables aside, and the numbers aside.

5a=45 +30

5a=75

a=75/5

a=15

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!
