Alright, lets get started.

Suppose the original deck size: width = x feet

the width is one-fourth the length given in question means length = 4 x feet

Means the originally area = x * 4 x = 4 x^{2}

Now the dimensions are changed.

New dimensions, width = (x + 6)

new length = (4x+10)

So, new area will be = (x+6) * (4x+10) = 4x^{2} + 10 x + 24 x + 60 = 4x^{2} + 34 x + 60

the area of the new rectangular deck is 128 ft2 larger than the area of the original deck, means

4x^{2} + 128= 4x^{2} + 34 x + 60

Subtracting 4x^{2} from both sides

128 = 34 x + 60

Subtracting 60 from both sides

128 - 60 = 34 x + 60 - 60

68 = 34  x

Dividing 34 in both sides

\frac{68}{34}  = \frac{34 x }{34}

x = 2

Means width = 2 feet

Length would be = 4 time width = 4 * 2 = 8 feet

Means dimension of original deck would be = 2 feet and 8 feet :Answer

Hope it will help :)

Help fast how can I get to 1 bottle of paint???
Arisa [49]

Answer:

40 red, 48 yellow.

Step-by-step explanation:

So in your orange paint, the ratio of red paint to yellow paint is 2/3 : 4/5, we can simplify that to 2/3 (15) : 4/5 (15) ---> 10 : 12 ---> 5 : 6. So for every 5 parts of red paint, you need 6 parts of yellow paint. One part can be any amount, as long as all parts are equal. So together you need 5+6=11 parts. Lets divide 88 by 11 to get what one part is. 88/11=8, so in this case one part equals to 8 bottles. And remember you need 5 parts of red paint, so 5*8=40 bottles of red paint altogether, and 6 parts of yellow paint, so 6*8=48 bottles of yellow paint altogether to make your 88 bottles of orange pain.

Check: 40 bottles of paint + 48 bottles of paint will give you 88 bottles of paint in the end, so that is correct. 40 : 48 is also equal to 2/3 : 4/5 if you simplify them, so the ratio is also correct.

There are 11 trains containing giraffes and 7 trains containing rabbits.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the number of train with giraffes and y represent the number of train with rabbits.

Hence:

25x = 40y

25x - 40y = 0    (1)

Also:

25x + 40y > 500   (2)

From both equations:

A possible solution is x = 11, y = 7

There are 11 trains containing giraffes and 7 trains containing rabbits.
