Answers
Elijah's elevation when Elijah is snorkeling above a shipwreck is -14.
What is elevation?Elevation simply has to do with the height above sea level.
In this case, Elijah is snorkeling above a shipwreck and the ship has an elevation of -105 feet. Elijah is snorkeling at 2/15 of the ship's elevation.
Elijah's elevation will be:
= Fraction of his snorkeling × Ship's elevation
= 2/15 × (-105)

Answers
In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.
Step 01:
DataL
garden area = 2(4.5x +1.5)
garden + walkway area = 3.5(8x + 4)
walkway area = ?
Step 02:
walkway area:
walkway area = 3.5(8x + 4) - 2(4.5x +1.5)
= 28x + 14 - 9x - 3
= 19x + 11
The answer is:
The area of the walkway around the garden is 19x + 11
The length of a rectangle is given by a number, x (metres). The width is two metres longer than the length. The area of the rectangle is 120 m^2
Answers
metersGiven:
a.) The length of a rectangle is given by a number, x (meters).
b.) The width is two meters longer than the length.
c.) The area of the rectangle is 120 m^2.
Let's first recall the formula for getting the area of the triangle.
Area = L x W
Where,
L = Length
W = Width
The width is two meters longer than the length. Therefore, we can say that:
W = L + 2
Let's now determine the measure of the dimension of the rectangle:
Let,
x = length of the rectangle
We get,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ A = L x W} \\ 120\text{ = L x (L + 2)} \\ 120=L^2\text{ + 2L} \\ L^2\text{ + 2L - 120 = 0} \\ (L\text{ - 10)(L + 12) = 0} \end{gathered}[/tex]Based on the relationships given, the Length of the rectangle has two possible measures.
L - 10 = 0
L = 10 m
L + 12 = 0
L = -12 m
Since a length must never be a negative value, the length of the rectangle must be 10 m.
For the width, we get:
W = L + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12 m
Summary:
Length = 10 m
Width = 12 m

If a price changes from $105,300 to $104,399 will that be a percentincrease or decrease?
Answers
If the price changes from $105,300 to $104,399, It means that there is a decrease in price.
Decrease = 105,300 - 104,399 = $901
The percentage decrease is gotten by dividing the decrease by the initial price and multiplying by 100. It becomes
[tex]\frac{901}{105300}\text{ }\times\text{ 100 = 0.8557\%}[/tex]By rounding up to the nearest whole number, it becomes 1%
