(10+2x)(8+2x) = 120
4x^2 + 36x + 80 = 120
x^2 + 9x + 20 = 30
x^2 + 9x - 10 = 0
(x+10)(x-1) = 0
x = 1 inch dimension
Hi! I'm happy to help!
Our town is composed of 2,000 people. Of those 2,000 people, 4/5 of them are middle class. The word 'of' usually means multiplication when it is in a word problem. So, we will multiply 2,000 by 4/5. When multiplying a whole number, we just multiply it by the numerator (top) and leave the denominator. (bottom)
2,000×4
8,000
8,000/5
Fractions are just a different way of putting division, so we can change this to a division problem:
8,000÷5=
1,600
1,600 of the people are middle class.
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
Look up what is 75% of 31,500
A line means divided by
So basically if it was 1/2, then it would be 1 divided by 2.
P. S. 1 divided by 2 is not the answer I'm just explaining what a line is
Let same number of hours = x,
since the salary earned is also the same, then
Salary of supervisor A = $25x
Salary of supervisor B = $20(30)+$30(x-30)
Equating
25x=600+30(x-30)
30x-25x=900-600
5x=300
x=60 hours
Check:
Salary of supervisor A = 25*60=1500
Salary of supervisor B = 20*30+30*(60-30)=600+900=1500, ok.
