The two integers that sum is 101 is 20.2 and 1
Rearrange to: x^2 + 18x - 25 = 0
Then factorise (I like to do it by completing the square):
(x + 9)^2 -81 -25 = 0
(x + 9)^2 = 106
x + 9 = sqrt(106)
The sol'ns are:
x = -9 + and - sqrt(106)
Perimeter = 2(l+w) or 2(length+width)
So far you have the width, which is 19feet. Since you have two sides of the rectangle which are 19 feet, add 19+19=38
Subtract 62-38 to get 24.
You now have the length of both of the sides combined. So you need to divide 24/2 = 12
The length of the rectangle = 12ft.
Hello!
To solve this, find the cost of a single light bulb first, by dividing 9 / 5.
9 / 5 ==> 1.80
One light bulb is $1.80
Now, multiply 1.80 by 7.
1.80 * 7 = 12.6
7 light bulbs cost $12.6
Hope this helps! ☺♥
