Answer:

Let the breadth is x, then the length is 3x.

<u>The area is:</u>

  • A = lw = 3x*x = 3x²

<u>The breadth is decreased by 2 m: </u>

  • w = x - 2

<u>The length is increased by 4m: </u>

  • l = 3x + 4

<u>The area is now:</u>

  • (x - 2)(3x + 4) = 3x² - 1/3(3x²)
  • 3x² +  4x - 6x - 8 = 2x²
  • x² - 2x - 8 = 0
  • x² - 2x + 1 = 9
  • (x - 1)² = 3²
  • x - 1 = 3
  • x = 4

The breadth was 4 m and the length  12 m

Tobias rented a kayak from a sports equipment store.
Ket [755]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = every day he rented the kayak

Since the store charges $60 for each day, multiply x by 60 like this: 60x

They also have $25 on top of that; 60x + 25

This all has to equal $325; 60x + 25 = 325

To solve for x, subtract 25 from both sides

60x + 25 = 325

       - 25    - 25

60x = 300

Divide both sides by 60

60x/60 = 300/60

x = 5

This means Tobias rented the kayak for 5 days

Which is NOT a true statement?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

option 4

Step-by-step explanation:

|a| represents Absolute value, it is the distance from zero that a number is on the number line. And we know distance cannot be negative.

So,

|a| = a

|-a| = a\\\\| \frac{-a}{b}| = \frac{a}{b}\\\\|\frac{a}{-b}| = \frac{a}{b}
