Answer: (D) 
Explanation:
Just a note on writing down these expressions: I recommend using parentheses whenever you can to avoid misinterpretation. An expression 1/x-1/y / 1/x+1/y could be interpreted by someone as 1/x-(1/y / 1/x)+1/y, which is a different thing.
The 2 small black lines through the sides of the triangle indicate that the 2 sides are the same length.
Because the 2 sides are the same the 2 bottom angles are also the same.
This means that 9x +3 = 84
Now we can solve for x:
9x +3 = 84
Subtract 3 from each side:
9x = 91
Divide both sides by 9:
x = 81 / 9
x = 9
Answer:
I mean if he needs 27 batches he'll make 27 batches?
I'm not sure if you're already given the length of the rectangle, but the width is either (x + 3) or (x + 15).
We can find this by factoring x² + 18x + 45, as the area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length and width together, so if we factor this expression we can find what was multiplied together.
Factoring x² + 18x + 45, we get (x + 3)(x + 15), which then tells us the two sides of the rectangle. Again, I'm not sure if you were already told the length, but if you were then the width is the other side. For example, if you were told the length was (x + 3), then the width would be (x + 15).
I hope this helps!
