A parking lot has 27 empty spaces. If the ratio of empty spaces to taken spaces is 3:5, how many spaces are there in total?

6 0

Answer:

72 spaces total

Step-by-step explanation:

The ration is 3:5. The 3 is the empty spaces which is 27. In order to simplify 27 to 3, you have to multiply it by 9. Knowing you have to simplify both sides by the same number you then multiple the 5 by 9 getting 45. The total amount of taken spaces is 45. Add the amount of empty spaces and taken spaces together you get 72 spaces total.

Solve for x. x/2+1= √3
podryga [215]
X=1.464102
Simplifies to: (1/2x)+1=1.732051

Step 1: Subtract 1 from both sides.
1/2x + 1 -1=1.732051-1
(1/2x)=0.732051

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 2
2*(1/2x) = (2) * (0.732051)
X=1.464102

   Part A)  " (3x + 4) " units  . 
_____________________________________________________
   Part B)  "The dimensions of the rectangle are:

                             " (4x + 5y) " units ;  <u>AND</u>:  " (4x − 5y)"  units."
_____________________________________________________

Explanation for  Part A):
_____________________________________________________

Since each side length of a square is the same; 
   
    Area = Length * width = L * w ;  L = w  = s = s ;

      in which:  " s = side length" ;

So, the Area of a square, "A"  = L * w = s * s = s² ;

{<u>Note</u>:  A "square" is a rectangle with 4 (four) equal sides.}.

→  Each side length, "s", of a square is equal.

Given:  s² = "(9x² + 24x + 16)" square units ;

Find "s" by factoring: "(9x² + 24x + 16)" completely:

   →  " 9x² + 24x + 16 ";

Factor by "breaking into groups" :

"(9x² + 24x + 16)"  = 

    →  "(9x² + 12x) (12x + 16)" ;
_______________________________________________________

Given:   " (9x² + 24x + 16) " ; 
_______________________________________________________
Let us start with the term:
_______________________________________________________

" (9x² + 12x) " ; 

    →  Factor out a "3x" ;  → as follows:
_______________________________________

    → " 3x (3x + 4) " ; 

Then, take the term:
_______________________________________
    → " (12x + 16) " ;

And factor out a "4" ;   →  as follows:
_______________________________________

    → " 4 (3x + 4) " 
_______________________________________
We have:

" 9x² + 24x + 16 " ;

    =  " 3x (3x + 4)  +  4(3x + 4) " ;
_______________________________________
Now, notice the term:  "(3x + 4)" ; 

We can "factor out" this term:

3x (3x + 4)  +  4(3x + 4)  = 

     →  " (3x + 4) (3x + 4) " .  → which is the fully factored form of:

                                                   " 9x² + 24x + 16 "  ; 
____________________________________________________
     →  Or; write:  "  (3x + 4) (3x + 4)" ; as:  " (3x + 4)² " .
____________________________________________________
     →  So,  "s² = 9x² + 24x + 16 " ; 

Rewrite as:  " s² = (3x + 4)² " .

     →  Solve for the "positive value of "s" ; 

     →  {since the "side length of a square" cannot be a "negative" value.}.
____________________________________________________
     →  Take the "positive square root of EACH SIDE of the equation; 
              to isolate "s" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "s" ;

     →  ⁺√(s²)  =  ⁺√[(3x + 4)²]   '

To get:

     →  s  = " (3x + 4)" units .
_______________________________________________________

Part A):  The answer is:  "(3x + 4)" units.
____________________________________________________

Explanation for Part B):

_________________________________________________________<span>

The area, "A" of a rectangle is:

    A = L * w ;  

 in which "A" is the "area" of the rectangle;
                "L" is the "length" of the rectangle; 
                "w" is the "width" of the rectangle; 
_______________________________________________________
  Given:  " A = </span>(16x² − 25y²) square units" ;  
   
       →  We are asked to find the dimensions, "L" & "w" ;
       →  by factoring the given "area" expression completely:
____________________________________________________
  → Factor:  " (16x² − 25y²) square units " completely '

Note that:  "16" and: "25" are both "perfect squares" ;
      
We can rewrite: " (16x² − 25y²) "  ;   as:

       =   " (4²x²)  −  (5²y²) " ; and further rewrite the expression:
________________________________________________________
Note:  
________________________________________________________
" (16x²) " ;  can be written as:  "(4x)² " ;

 ↔ " (4x)²  =  "(4²)(x²)" = 16x² "


Note:  The following property of exponents:

         →  (xy)ⁿ = xⁿ yⁿ ;    →  As such:  " 16x² = (4²x²) = (4x)² " . 
_______________________________________________________
Note:
_______________________________________________________

     →   " (25x²) " ;  can be written as:  " (5x)² " ; 

        ↔   "( 5x)²  =  "(5²)(x²)" = 25x² " ; 

Note:  The following property of exponents:

         →  (xy)ⁿ = xⁿ yⁿ ;    →  As such:  " 25x² = (5²x²) = (5x)² " . 
______________________________________________________

→  So, we can rewrite:  " (16x² − 25y²) " ;  

as:  " (4x)² − (5y)² " ;   
 
    → {Note:  We substitute: "(4x)² "  for "(16x²)" ; & "(5y)² "  for "(25y²)" .} . ; 
_______________________________________________________
→  We have:  " (4x)² − (5y)² " ;

→  Note that we are asked to "factor completely" ; 

→  Note that:  " x² − y² = (x + y) (x − y) " ;

      → {This property is known as the "<u>difference of squares</u>".}.

→ As such:  " (4x)² − (5y)² " = " (4x + 5y) (4x − 5y) " .
_______________________________________________________
Part B):  The answer is:  "The dimensions of the rectangle are:

                              " (4x + 5y) " units ;  AND:  " (4x − 5y)"  units."
