Let

x--------> original length side of a square


we know that

area rectangle=length*width

area=126 in²

length=(x+8)

width=(x-3)

so

126=(x+8)*(x-3)------> x²-3x+8x-24=126----> x²+5x-150=0


using  a graph tool------> to resolve the second order equation

see the attached figure

the solution is

x=10 in


the answer is

the original length side of a square is 10 in

Why can you use cross products to solve the proportion StartFraction 18 over 5 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 100 EndFractio
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

because 18 times 100 is equal to 5 times x, which means that x is equal to 360

Step-by-step explanation:

18/5=x/100

Cross product

18*100=5*x

1800=5x

x=1800/5

x=360

because 18 times 100 is equal to 5 times x, which means that x is equal to 360

dolphi86 [110]

well if it asks you to send to 4 people and there are 8 generations which includes yours that mean


1 sent to 4 - 4 recived

4 send to 4 each = 16 recived + the 4 before = 20 (generation 2)

16 send to 4 = 64 + 20 = 84 (generation 3)

64 send to 4 = 256 + 84= 320 (g4)

256 send to 4 = 1024 + 320 = 1344 (g5)

1344 s t 4 = 5376 + 1344= 6730 (g6)


so on and so forth till generation 8
