Answer: the length is 11 cm.
The width is 7 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the rectangular plastic box.
Let W represent the width of the rectangular plastic box.
The area of the rectangular top of the box is 77 square cm. This means that
LW = 77- - - - - - - ;- - - -1
The plastic box has a length 4 cm longer than its width. This means that
L = W + 4
Substituting L = W + 4 into equation 1, it becomes
(W + 4)W = 77
W² + 4W = 77
W² + 4W - 77 = 0
W² + 11W - 7W - 77 = 0
W(W + 11) - 7(W + 11) = 0
W - 7 = 0 or W + 11 = 0
W = 7 or W = - 11
Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 7cm
L = 77/7 = 11 cm
Ohio = 45,000, Cali = 160000, Texas = 270000, Connecticut = 5500, SC = 32000,
A would be true
B would be false
C would be false
D would be true, assuming "about" means you can round up a little.
hope this helped
Answer:
3 or -3
Step-by-step explanation:
What number multiplied by itself will give you 9
1*1 =1
2*2 =4
3*3 =9
Also note that negative times negative will be positive so
-1*-1=1
That means -3*-3 = 9
1) a. x = number of cars
b. x - 12
2) a. x = number of packages
b. 16 + 1/2x
3) a. x = number of coins
b. 1/2x - 6
4) 17 + x = 78
Subtract 17 from each side.
x = 61
5) x - 33 = 78
Add 33 to each side.
x = 111
6) x * 84 = 327.6
Divide each side by 84
x = 3.9
7) 1333/8.6 = 155
The speed was 155mph.
8) 2475/110 = 22.5
The trip took 22 and a half hours. (Or "The trip took 22.5 hours."
