Let the width be x.
Length is 8 feet more than width. Length = x + 8
Area = x(x + 8)
width increased by 4, that is, (x + 4)
Length decreased by 5, (x + 8 - 5) = (x + 3)
Area = (x + 4)(x +3)
Area remains the same
x(x + 8) = (x+4)(x +3)
x² + 8x = x(x +3) + 4(x +3)
x² + 8x = x² +3x + 4x +12
x² + 8x = x² +7x +12 Eliminate x² from both sides
8x = 7x + 12
8x - 7x = 12
x = 12
Dimensions of original rectangle : x, x + 8
12, 12 +8 = 12, 20
Original rectangle is 20 feet by 12 feet
the answer is 6.9.
When you divide a negative by a negative it is a positive
Answer:
$0.84
Step-by-step explanation:
120.96/144= 0.84
60x=y
To find this answer, find what y/x=m would be for m
150/2.5=60
240/4= 60
330/5.5=60
420/7=60
It would take him 2.5 hrs because when you divide 10 by 4 that's what you get
