Answer:

A) width * length = 180  OR width = 180 / length

B) width = length -3

Substituting A) into B) we get

180 / length = length - 3

180 = length^2 - 3 * length

length^2 -3 * length -180 = 0

Factoring:

(len +12) * (len - 15) = 0

length = 15

Therefore width = (length -3) = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced scale represents the equation: 3x + 1 = x + 3
Afina-wow [57]

<u>Given</u>:

The given balanced scale is represented by the equation

3x+1=x+3 ----- (1)

We need to determine the process that balance the scale.

<u>Process to balance the scale:</u>

Given that the if one x block is subtracted from the right side and three numbered blocks are subtracted from the left side.

Thus, the equation (1) becomes

(3x+1)-3=(x+3)-x

        3x-2=3 ----- (2)

Now, to balance the scale, let us subtract one block x from the left side and subtract three numbered blocks from the right side.

Thus, the equation (2) becomes,

(3x-2)-x=3-3

        2x-2=0 ------ (3)

Thus, the equation (3) is the same as the equation (1).

Hence, the process required to balance the scale is to subtract one x block from the left side and subtract three numbered blocks from the right side.

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.

the population at Saint Maria High increased from 1800 students ten years ago to 1926 students last year. What was the percent i
Ket [755]
It’s a 7% increase. When you want to find percent increase/decrease, you want to subtract the numbers of the before and after. In this case, subtract 1926 and 1800, which will equal 126. Then, percent over 100 would be the first fraction, but since you don’t know the percent, put x. The second fraction is the amount of change over the original number. In this case, the amount of change will be 126 and the original is 1800. x/100=126/1800 now you just cross multiply and solve. You will end up with 7
