Answer:
80 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The given information lets you write two equations involving length (x) and width (y).
- 2(x +y) = 36 . . . . the perimeter is 36 m
- (x+1)(y+2) -xy = 30 . . . . increasing the length and width increases area
The second of these equations simplifies to another linear equation, giving a system of linear equations easily solved.
xy +y +2x + 2 -xy = 30
2x +y = 28 . . . . . . . subtract 2
Dividing the first equation by 2 gives
x +y = 18
and subtracting this from the above equation gives ...
(2x +y) -(x +y) = 28 -18
x = 10
Then
y = 18 -10 = 8
The area of the original rectangle is xy = 10·8 = 80 m^2.
No its a negitive number one x minus five x's equal -14
Answer:
Prob = 0.00009 = 0.009% , Less Likely
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Binomial Distribution, Prob = N c r . ( P )^ r . ( Q ) ^ (n -r) .
,P = success probability, ie candidate considered be trustworthy = 70% = 0.7; N = trials = 200 ; Q = failure probability, ie non trustworthy = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3 r = no. of success = 116
Pr = 200c116 . (0.7)^116 . (0.3)^(200 - 116) = 200c116 (0.7)^116 (0.3)^84 = 0.00009 = 0.009%
Less probability means Less Likely
