Rectangles/350485: the perimeter of a certain soccer field is 310m. the lenght is 65 more than the width. what are the dimension? 1 solutions
Answer 250607 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) on 2010-10-01 11:23:58 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!let width =x
length =x+65
given perimeter =310
perimeter =2(l+w)
310=2(x+65+x)
310=2(2x+65)
310=4x+130
310-130=4x
180=4x
x=180/4
x=45
therefore;
width =45
and length =x+65
=45+65
=110

Rectangles/338048: the width of a rectangle is 3feet less than the length. the perimeter is 62feet. find the length and width of the rectangle. 1 solutions
Answer 242361 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) on 2010-09-01 23:56:49 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!let the length of the rectangle =x
width =x-3
given ,
perimeter =62ft
2(l+w) =62ft
2(x+x-3) =62ft
2(2x-3)=62ft
4x-6 =62ft
4x=62+6 =68ft
x=68/4
x=17ft
therefore
length =17 ft
and
width =17-3
=14ft

Exponents/337849: after m months the length of a finger nail is 10+3m millimeters. How long is the fingernail after 8 months? 3 years? 1 solutions
Answer 242251 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) on 2010-09-01 19:22:39 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!length of finger nail in m month =10+3m
length of finger nail in 8 months =10+3*8
=10+24 =34mm
length of finger nail in 3 years
3 years =3*12months
=36 months
length of finger nail in 36 month =10+3*36
=10+108 = 118mm

Exponents-negative-and-fractional/337422: sara has 1.45 in nickels and dimes. there are 18 coins in all. how many of each are there? use the five step method and a table in solving this problem. 1 solutions
Answer 241997 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) on 2010-09-01 01:44:25 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!nickels =N
dimes =D
total number of coins =18
N+D=18
N=18-D -----------(1)
total nickels and dime is 1.45
5N+10D = 145 --------------(2)
substitue the value of N in(2)
5(18-D)+10D= 145
5*18 -5D +10D =145
90 +5D=145
5D=145-90
5D=55
D=11
N+D=18
N+11+18
N=7
there are 7 nickels and 11 dimes
Proof:
5N+10D=145
5*7 +10*11=145
35+110=145
145=145

Geometry_Word_Problems/337583: The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 210 meters. The length of the pool is double the width. Find the length and width of the pool.
P=210, P=2L+2W L=2W
210 = 2(2W)+2W
210 = 4W+2W
210 = 6W
210/6 = W
W=35 METERS
L = 2W)=2(35) = 70 METERS

Answer 241995 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) on 2010-09-01 01:20:49 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!let width =x
length =2x
perimeter =210m
perimeter =2(l+w)
2(l+w) =210m
2(2x+x)=210
2(3x) =210
6x=210
x=210/6
x=35
ie,
width = 35m
length =2*35 =70m

Answer 241979 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) on 2010-09-01 00:19:33 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Grade for first eaxm =65%
grade for second exam = 85%
grade for third exam =77%
overall grade =20%
grade for final exam =x
overall grade = 40%
total grade =80%
(65% +85% 77%)20% +x*40% =80%
227% *20% +x*40%=80%
45.4% +40x% =80%
40x% =80%-45.4%
40x% = 34.6%
x% = 34.6%/40%
x%= 0.865
x=86.5%
grade score for final exam =86.5%

Numeric_Fractions/337490: A group of dogs and ducks have a total of 99 heads and legs among them. There are twice as many ducks as there are dogs. How many are there of each animal? 1 solutions
Answer 241932 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) on 2010-08-31 23:12:00 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A group of dogs and ducks have a total of 99 heads and legs among them. There are twice as many ducks as there are dogs. How many are there of each animal
solution:
let Dogs =X
Duck =Y
Dogs having 4 legs and 1 head
=>4X+1X=5x
duck is having 2 legs and 1 head
=>2Y+1Y=3Y
given total legs and heads =99
5X+3Y=99--------------(1)
also given
ducks =2 dogs
Y=2x----------(2)
substitute the value of Y in (1)
5X+3Y=99
5X+3(2X)=99
5x+6x=99
11X=99
X=99/11
x=9
y = 2X
Y=2*9
Y=18
there are 9 dogs and 18 ducks
Proof:
x=9,y=18
5x+3y=99
5*9+3*18=99
45+54=99
99=99
RHS=LHS

Equations/336353: Two numbers differ by 57. Their sum is 185. Find the numbers. 1 solutions
Answer 241149 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) on 2010-08-29 19:13:54 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!let the numbers be x and y
sum of numbers is 185
x+y =185-----------(1)
differnce is 57
x-y =57------------- (2)
(1) +(2) =
x+y=185
x-y=57
=> 2x= 242
x=242/2
x=121
x-y=57
121 -y=57
-y=57-121
-y= -64
y=64
therfore the two numbers are
121 and 64

2x=72-6
2x= 66
x=33
x+6 =39
length of the rods are 33in and 39 in

Word_Problems_With_Coins/335538: John has a stamp collection. 1/2 stamps are from Canada, 1/4 are from France, 1/8 are from Mexico, 1/16 are from Italy and 4 are from the US. How many stamps in all?
1 solutions
Answer 240535 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) on 2010-08-26 23:38:23 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!total number of stamp = x
stamps from Canada =1/2x
stamps from france =1/4x
stamps from mexico =1/8x
stamps from italy =1/16x
stamps from US=4
ie,
1/2x+1/4x+1/8x+1/16x+4 =x
(1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16)x +4=x
15/16x+4=x
15x/16 -x =-4
15x-16x/16 =-4
-x/16 =-4
x=(-4)*(-16)
x=64
total number of stamps =64

Finance/335377: i didnt know which topic to put it under so i put it under this topic....my question is Factor 20y^3+5y^2-15y ... i dont get it AT ALL! :/ 1 solutions
Answer 240385 by benazir.sj@gmail.com(109) on 2010-08-26 18:09:14 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!20y^3+5y^2-15y
solution :
20y^3 +5y^2-15y
here 5y is common
so the equation becomes
5y(4y^2+y-3)
now you have to factor
4y^2+y-3 =4y^2+4y-3y-3
4y(y+1)-3(y+1)
(4y-3)(y+1)
20y^3 +5y^2-15y =5y(4y-3)(y+1)
