If x is the width, and the length is 3 more than twice the width,
the length : 2x+3

Area = length x width

(2x+3)x = 119
By expanding equation, 2 x^{2} +3x = 119
Thus, 2 x^{2} +3x-119=0 
By factorisation, 
(x-7)(2x+17)= 0
x=7 or x= -17/2 (rejected because width cannot be negative)

Thus, the width is 7 and the length is 2(7) +3 = 17

L = 3 + 2w

119 = w × ( 3 + 2w )
119 = 3w + 2w^2
2w^2 + 3w - 119 = 0
( w - 7 ) ( 2w + 11 ) = 0
w = 7
x = w
x = 7

How do you solve 418.6 divided by 80.5 using long division
nataly862011 [7]
You would write the 80.5 on the outside 418.6 on the inside. You can't divide by a decimal so you have to move the decimal point as many times as you need to on the outside number. You only have to move it over once in the80.5 so it is now 805. You do the same thing to the inside so it it is 4186. You are now dividing 4186 by 805. The answer is 5.2

Find the median of the data set: 3, 7, 3, 2, 7, 9.<br><br> A: 7 <br> B: 5<br> C: 5.3<br> D: 3
harina [27]

To find the median, you order the numbers from least to greatest, then find the middle number.

3,7,3,2,7,9

2,3,3,7,7,9

There are two middle numbers, so we have to find the middle of the two.

3,4,5,6,7

5 is the median, so the answer is B.

a blue arlin can swim at 50miles per hour. What is that speed in feet per second , to the nearest whole number ?
morpeh [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the amount of feet in one mile by the amount of miles in the question(5,280 x 50 = 264,000)

Divide the amount of feet in 50 miles by the amount of minutes in 1 hour to get the amount of feet per mile (264,000 ÷ 60 = 4,400)

Divide the amount of feet per mile to get by the amount of seconds in a minute to get the amount of feet per second (4,400 ÷ 60 = 73.33)

Your answer rounded to the nearest whole number is 73
