Answer:
Let the breadth is x, then the length is 3x.
<u>The area is:</u>
<u>The breadth is decreased by 2 m: </u>
<u>The length is increased by 4m: </u>
<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
Answer:
13.68
Step-by-step explanation:
72 * 0.19 = 13.68
19% can be converted to 19/100 or .19 to change out of a percentage. .19 is the multiplied by 72 to find 19% of 72.
For example
a fourth of something is the same as 25%.
if you want to find 1/4 of 8 you would multiply 8 by 1/4.
It is a similar concept with percentages.
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Because yes
Represent as
w=wally
a=ashan
so wally has 2 more marbles than ashan
w=2+a
together they have 88
w+a=88
since w=2+a, subsitute (2+a) for w in the w+a=88 equation
2+a+a=88
add like terms
2+2a=88
subtract 2 from both sides
2a=86
divide by 2
a=43
ashan has 43 marbles
