Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 19 ft wide and 27 ft \long. She wants to leave a uniform strip of floor around the rug. She can afford to buy 209 square feet of carpeting. What dimensions should the rug have?

Step-by-step explanation:

Rug dimensions are 27 x19

Area = 27*19 = 513 sqft

She can buy 209 square feet of carpeting

Dimensions the rug should have should be proportional

So lenght =

and width =

Dimensions should be

11x 7.74

the answer is 0.3175 hope that you ^w^

also you might actually want to put this picture up if you want people to solve it luckily i remember this question

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
