For a chinese new year celebration, james and zhou are making a dragon costume similar to the one shown above.

in total, the costume requires 56.6 meters of fabric. zhou already has 15 meters of fabric, and james just purchased 17.6 meters of fabric. how much more fabric is needed for the costume?
a.
39 meters
b.
25 meters
c.
24 meters
d.
32.6 meters

C. 24 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total length of fabric required for the costume = 56.6 m

Length of fabric Zhou already has = 15 m

Length of fabric James just purchased = 17.6 m

To find how much more length of fabric is required to make the complete costume.

Solution:

Let the length of fabric in meters still required be  =

The total length can be given as :

⇒

⇒

The total fabric required = 56.6 m

So, the equation to find will be:

Subtracting both sides by 32.6

∴

Thus, 24 meters of fabric is still required to make the costume.

$8

step-by-step explanation:

it is pretty much backwards.

you take the 4x2 multiply that, and that is = $8

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)
