Answer:

L = 16

w = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Area = 160 sqr inches

width = x

length = x + 6

Equation

Area = L * w

Solution

Substitute in the equation all of the givens.

160 = x(x + 6)                     Remove the brackets

160 = x^2 + 6x                   Subtract 160 from both sides.

160-160 = x^2 + 6x - 160

0 = x^2 + 6x - 160

This equation factors. Turn it around first

x^2 + 6x - 160 =  0

(x - 10)(x + 16) = 0

Answer

x (width) = 10

x + 16 = 16

Six friends attend a party. They form pairs for a game. How many different pairs are possible?
Leona [35]

Pairs, in this case, relates to a group of 2 or more. We have 6 friends. Let's call them A,B,C,D,E,F. This will allow us to make a [some sort of] combination tree:

1. ABC against DEF

2. ABD against CEF

3. ABE against CDF

4. ABF against CDE

5. ACD against BFE

6. ACE against BDF

7. ACF against BDE

8. ADE against BCF

9. ADF against BCE

10. AEF against BCD

I believe there are 12 combinations... I just can't think of the last 2 though.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

  22.1 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of each minute, (1 -17.1%) = 82.9% of the element remains. At the end of 19 minutes, the quantity has been multiplied by that value 19 times, so the remaining amount is ...

   (780 g)(0.829^19) ≈ 22.1 g

After 19 minutes 22.1 grams remain.
