Answer:
middle brother = x
older brother = x+1
younger brother = x-1
x-1+x+x+1=129
3x+0=129
3x=129
x = 43(middle brother)
43-1 = 42(younger brother)
43+1 = 44(elder brother)
Check:
43-1+43+43+1=129
42+43+44=129
129=129
Answer:
When we have a rectangle of length L and width W, the area is calculated as:
A = W*L
In this case, W = x, and the area is:
A = 2*x
Then we must have L = 2.
We know that the area of the window and the frame (together) is:
a = 2*x^2 + 12*x + 16
The area of the frame alone, will be equal to the difference between the area of both objects (a) and the area of the window alone (A)
area of the frame = a - A
= (2*x^2 + 12*x + 16) - (2*x) = (2*x^2 + 10*x + 16)
This is the area of the frame
By Pythagoreans' theorem,
7.5² = l² × b²
56.25 = l² × b²
Since l = b
56.25 ÷ 2
= l²/b²
= 28.125 mm
∴ l = √28.125
= 5.3033 mm
Area of square
= √28.125 × √28.125
= 28.125 mm²
≈ 28.1 mm² (3s.f.)
Multiplying 0.7 by the original price will work...
If you divide the cost by 100, subtract 30 from 100, you will be left with 70% times the 1/100
70% is also expressed as 0.7, since 7/10=70/100
Hope this helps!
Answer: The membership will last for 12 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of months that the membership would last.
Cleo wants to join a gym. There is an initiation fee of $24.99, and each month of membership costs $12.50. This means that the total cost of using the gym for x months would be expressed as
12.5x + 24.99
If Cleo pays $174.99, it means that
12.5x + 24.99 = 174.99
12.5x = 174.99 - 24.99
12.5x = 150
x = 150/12.5
x = 12
