Answer:
Width = 26 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the rectangle is:
area = (length*width)
416 = a*b
a = b/2 + 3
a = length
b = width
then:
416 = (b/2 + 3) (b)
416 = b*b/2 + b*3
416 = b²/2 + 3b
0 = b²/2 + 3b - 416
b = {-(+3)±√((3²)-(4*1/2*-416))} / (2*1/2)
b = {-3±√(9+832)} / 1
b = {-3±√841}
b = -3±29
only take the positive value becuse is a natural number
b = -3+29
b = 26 inches
a = b/2 + 3
a = 26/2 + 3
a = 13 + 3
a = 16 inches
Check:
416 = 16 * 26
1. First I turned the fractions into decimals, just to make things easier for me.2. That gave me => (.25x)+(.75)+(.375)=(3.25)
3. Then, I combined like terms and move my equation around; so, that gave me (.25x) = (3.25) - (.75) - (.375) and when I solve the right side of the equation it gives me
(.25x) = (2.125)
4. After combining like terms and simplifying (the way I did in step 3), I will divide both sides by .25, to get the value of X alone; so, my equation then looks like => x=8.5
<span>the total number of sit ups = 7(60 + 5)
= 7 * 60 + 7 * 5
= 420 + 35
= 455

2.6 because you substract
