Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of two tickets = 2 * 30 = £60

Let the amount with Puvi = £x

Money spent on dinner = (1/3)*x

                                        = \dfrac{1}{3}x

Remaining \ money =x -  \dfrac{1}{3}x =\dfrac{3}{3}x-\dfrac{1}{3}x=\dfrac{2}{3}x

Money \ spent \ on \ dessert = \dfrac{1}{4} *\dfrac{2}{3}x =\dfrac{1}{6}x\\\\\\

Total money - money spent on dinner - money spent on dessert = 60

x -\dfrac{1}{3}x -\dfrac{1}{6}x=60\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{6}x-\dfrac{1*2}{3*2}-\dfrac{1}{6}x =60\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{6}x-\dfrac{2}{6}x-\dfrac{1}{6}x=60\\\\\\\dfrac{6-2-1}{12}x=60\\\\\\\dfrac{3}{12}x=60\\\\\\x=60*\dfrac{12}{3}=60*4=240

Money that Puvi had at the start of the night = £ 240

An artificial soccer pitch is 91 meters long and 43 meters wide. If the cost of the pitch is AED 20 per square meter. What is th
Novosadov [1.4K]

The Cost of installing the artificial soccer pitch is $5360

A rectangle is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angles) in which opposite sides are parallel and equal.

The soccer pitch us rectangle in shape. Hence:

Perimeter of soccer pitch = 2(length + width) = 2(91 + 43) = 268 meters

Cost of installing the pitch = $20 per meter * 268 meters = $5360

The Cost of installing the artificial soccer pitch is $5360

Solve for w, where w is a real number.
Ber [7]

Answer:

w= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{ - 4w + 61}  = w - 4

Square both sides:

-4w +61= (w -4)²

\boxed{(a - b)^{2}  = a^2 -2ab + b^2 }

Expand:

-4w +61= w² -2(w)(4) +4²

-4w +61= w² -8w +16

Simplify:

w² -8w +16 +4w -61= 0

w² -4w -45= 0

Factorize:

(w -9)(w +5)= 0

w -9= 0 or w +5= 0

w= 9 or w= -5 (reject)

Note:

-5 is rejected since we are only taking the positive value of the square root here. If the negative square root is taken into consideration, then w= -5 would give us -9 on both sides of the equation.

<u>Why </u><u>do </u><u>we </u><u>use </u><u>negative </u><u>square </u><u>root?</u>

When solving an equation such as x²= 4,

we have to consider than squaring any number removes the negative sign i.e., the result of a squared number is always positive.

In the case of x²= 4, x can be 2 or -2. Thus, whenever we introduce a square root, a '±' must be used.

However, back to our question, we did not introduce the square root so we should not consider the negative square root value.
