To solve this equation you do
8-5=3
6÷3=2
For example,area = a, length = l, width = w
First we write two equations. The easier equation is the area equation, which we know to be
a = l x w
So that the first equation is :
<span>96 = l x w </span>
we make the second equation of the following statements :
<em>The length of a rectangle is 2 foot less than 3 times its width.</em>
<span>so it becomes :
l = 3w - 2
</span>
<span>To solve, we can use the substitution method.
</span>
![96 = l \times w\\96=(3w-2) \times w\\96=3w^{2}-2w\\3w^{2}-2w-96=0~~~~~~[now\ factor\ the\ equation]\\ (3w+16)(w-6)=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=96%20%3D%20l%20%5Ctimes%20w%5C%5C96%3D%283w-2%29%20%5Ctimes%20w%5C%5C96%3D3w%5E%7B2%7D-2w%5C%5C3w%5E%7B2%7D-2w-96%3D0~~~~~~%5Bnow%5C%20factor%5C%20the%5C%20equation%5D%5C%5C%20%283w%2B16%29%28w-6%29%3D0)


<span><em>So if our width is 6, Now substitute the value of w = 6 into equation 2 </em></span>
So "w" = 6 and "l" = 16, and if we multiply them together, we get the correct area, 96. So our dimensions are 6 by 16.
Okay. So when it comes to combining like terms, they should have the same variable and power. They dont have to be the exact same number, but they should at least have the same terms. In the expression 40 + 15e + 10e, 15e and 10e both have like terms, because they have the same variable. 15e + 10e is 25e. 40 has no like term, so that is left alone. The expression simplified is 40 + 25e.
Hello There!
The answer to adding 3/14 and 1/7 together give you a sum of 5/14
STEP #1 <em>The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.</em>
STEP #2 Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.
<h2>(3/14*1/1) + (1/7*2/2)</h2><h2 /><h2><em>3/14 + 2/14 = </em><u>
<em>5/14</em></u></h2>
The cash price of the article is 88 cedis.
In this question, the article has a price, but paid in cash, there are two discounts.
- Price of 115 cedis.
- Discount of 15%, thus, 1 - 0.15 = 0.85 is paid, that is, the price is multiplied by 0.85.
- Discount of 10%, thus 1 - 0.1 = 0.9 is paid, that is, the price is also multiplied by 0.9.
Thus, the cash price is:

The cash price of the article is 88 cedis.
