Answer:

ANSWER: Increase each dimension by 2 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

L=length; W=width; X=amount of increase; A=area

.

(L+X)(W+X)=2(LW)

(6m+X)(4m+X)=2(6m)(4m)

X^2+10X+24=48

X^2+10X-24=0

(X-2)(X+12)=0

(X-2=0) OR (X+12=0)

X=2 OR X=-12

X=2 meters

Deshawn has two bags of marbles. The first bag has 2 blue, 3 orange, and 5 red. The second bag has 4 pink, 10 blue, and 6 brown.
madreJ [45]

Answer: 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bag-I has 2 blue,3 orange, 5 red

Bag-II has 4 Pink,10 blue, 6 brown

No of ways of choosing a blue marble from bag-I

\Rightarrow ^2C_1

Total no of ways of choosing a marble from bag-I

\Rightarrow ^{10}C_1

No of ways of choosing a blue marble from bag-II

\Rightarrow ^{10}C_1

Total no of ways of choosing a marble from bag-II

\Rightarrow ^{20}C_1

The probability that he will pull out a blue marble from each bag is

\Rightarrow P=\text{Probability of pulling a blue marble from bag-I}\times \text{Probability of pulling a blue out bag-II}

\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{^2C_1}{^{10}C_1}\times \dfrac{^{10}C_1}{^{20}C_1}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{2}{10}\times \dfrac{10}{20}=\dfrac{1}{10}

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The minor angle of AB forms a straight line with angle x. When summed up it equals 180°.

minor angle of AB + x° = 180°

110° + x° = 180°

x° = 180° - 110°

= 70°

pochemuha
(128 oz) * (2 oranges)/(5 oz) * (1 bag)/(11.5 oranges) * $3.49/bag ≈ $15.54

(15/8+2/5)+(-7/8) show ur work
stepan [7]
The answer is 7/5 th. You can add fractions without first having a common denominator so you would change the 8's by multiplying it by 5 to get 40 and you would multiply the 5 by 8 to get 40 as well. And the rule whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top so whatever you multiplied 8 by do the same for the numerator and whatever you multiplied 5 by you do the same for the numerator. So your new equation would be (75/40+16/40)+(-35/40). you would then add the numerator's across to get 56 and the denominator would stay the same so the answer is 56/40. But you have to now simplify 56/40 down to 14/10 and then once more to 7/5 which is the final answer.
