How do i find the value of x on this problem?

zaharov [31]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion is

14/6 = 21/(3x - 12) Cross Multiply

14*(3x - 12) = 6*21 Remove the brackets and combine

42x - 168 = 126 Add 168 to both sides

42x = 126 + 168

42x = 294 Divide by 42

x = 294/42

x = 7

A meteorologist reports that there is a 30% chance the temperature will fall below freezing tomorrow. On any given day, the bus

sladkih [1.3K]

<h3>Answer: 18%</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Convert each percentage to decimal form

30% converts to 0.30
60% converts to 0.60

Then multiply the decimal values

0.30*0.60 = 0.18

That converts to 18%

So there's an 18% chance that both events happen at the same time. In other words, there's an 18% chance of the temperature falling below zero and the bus being late.

A farmer wants to use 200 feet of fencing for a chicken pen. He wants the width of the pen to be 20 feet. What is the length of

Aneli [31]

The length should be 80 feet.

This is because the width is 20, since there are two sides for the width in a pen, we have to add 20+20. This would equal 40. Then we need to subtract 40 from 200. 200-40 would be 160. Then since there are two sides for the length, we need to split that in half. 160÷2 would be 80. To double check, you can do 80+80 and that would still be 160. So the length of one side would be 80. But of course, this whole thing would only be right if the pen has four sides(but since i have seen many chicken pens, there were all rectangular). I hope this helped! :)

I need help on my story problems

victus00 [196]

1) 3/4 - 1/2 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4. Vanessa's brothers ate half of the cake.

2) 1.75 + 2.4 = 4.15. 6.5 - 4.15 = 2.35. 4.15 = 2.35 = 1.8. Chad hiked 1.8 ore miles in the morning than in the afternoon.

A rectangle has width that is 6 meters less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 280 square meters. Find the dimensions

salantis [7]

Dimensions are length 20 meter and width 14 meter

Solution:

Let "a" be the length of rectangle

Let "b" be the width of rectangle

Given that,

A rectangle has width that is 6 meters less than the length

Width = length - 6

b = a - 6

The area of the rectangle is 280 square meters

The area of the rectangle is given by formula:

$Area = length \times width$

Substituting the values we get,

$Area = a \times (a-6)\\\\280 = a^2-6a\\\\a^2-6a -280=0$

Solve the above equation by quadratic formula

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=1,\:b=-6,\:c=-280:\quad a_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-6\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-6\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$a =\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36+1120}}{2}\\\\a = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{1156}}{2}\\\\a = \frac{6 \pm 34}{2}\\\\Thus\ we\ have\ two\ solutions\\\\a = \frac{6+34}{2} \text{ or } a = \frac{6-34}{2}\\\\a = 20 \text{ or } a = -14$

Since, length cannot be negative, ignore a = -14

Thus solution of length is a = 20

Therefore,

width = length - 6

width = 20 - 6 = 14

Thus dimensions are length 20 meter and width 14 meter
