Answer: 3.217 & 12.434

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use <em>w</em> to represent the width, the length will be 6 more than 2 times w.

Hence, the length is 2w+6.

The area of a rectangle would be its length times its width, so let's make an equation to represent it's area.

A=w(2w+6)

We can also substitute 40 in for A as it's given in the question.

40 = w(2w+6)

Distributing <em>w</em> by multiplying it by both terms in the parentheses, we get

40 = 2w^2+6w

We can make the equation simpler by dividing both sides by 2.

20 = w^2+3w

Subtracting both sides by 20 will make the left-hand side 0.

0=w^2+3w-20

Now that we have put this <em>quadratic equation</em> into standard form (ax²+bx+c), we can find its solutions using the quadratic formula.

For reference, the quadratic formula is

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In this case, a is 1, b is 3, and c is -20.

Substituting, we get

w=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{3^2-4(1)(-20)}}{2(1)}

w= \frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+80}}{2}

w=\frac{-3+\sqrt{89}}{2}\hspace{0.1cm}or\hspace{0.1cm}\frac{-3-\sqrt{89}}{2}

Since the second solution results in a negative number, it cannot be the length of w.

w=\frac{-3+\sqrt{89}}{2}\approx3.217

The width/breadth of the rectangle is 3.217 cm.

To calculate the length, let's substitute the width into the expression for the length:

l=2(3.217)+6

l=12.434

The length of this rectangle is 12.434 cm.

Answer:

From the first bag the probability is 5 out of 15 or 1/3 simplified

The second bags probability is 4 out of 9

All the bags combined the probability is 9 out of 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability should be set up by putting the blue marbles as the numerator and the sum of all the marbles combined for the denominator

With everything said all you have to do is figure out the two steps an you’re good to go

1/7 + 6/7 equals1/7 + 6/7 equals
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

7/7 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/7 is one out of seven part plus 6/7 which is 6 out of seven parts. The denominator does not need to change because it is a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators, 1 and 6 and you get 7. The numerator is divided by the denominator (7/7) which equals to 1.
