Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a rectangle is

length × width = 300 ft²

length = width + 5

(width + 5) × width = 300

width² + 5×width = 300

width² + 5×width - 300 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equation is

width = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 5

c = -300

width = (-5 ± sqrt(5² - 4×1×-300))/(2×1) =

= (-5 ± sqrt(25 + 1200))/2 =

= (-5 ± sqrt(1225))/2 = (-5 ± 35)/2

width1 = (-5 + 35)/2 = 30/2 = 15 ft

width2 = (-5 - 35)/2 = -40/2 = -20 ft

negative lengths for an actual object don't make sense, so width = 15 ft is our solution.

length = width + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20 ft

Answer:

width=x

length=5x

area= 300ft2

area=lxb

300=5x(x)

300=5x^2

x^2=60

x=7.74

7.74(5)=38.7

dimensions are 38.7ft by 7.74 ft

if a town with a population of 500 doubles in size ever 9 years, what will the population be 36 years from now?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

The population of the town in 36 years would be  8000.

<h3>What would be the population of the town in 36 years?</h3>

The formula that can be used to determine the town's population is:
FV = P (1 + r)^n

Where:

  • FV = Future value
  • P = Present value
  • R = rate of growth = 100%
  • N = number of years = 36/9 = 4

500 x 2^4 = 8000

Mrs. Ramiriz is making pies to sell at the local farmer’s market. It costs her $5 to make each pie, plus a one-time cost of $30
grin007 [14]
To answer the problem above, we must first define the word break even. Break even means there is no gain or loss, the difference between the capital amount and the sale amount is zero. In equation, let x be the number of pies. 5x + 30 = 12x, $5 times the number of pies plus $30 is equal to $12 times the number of pies sold. The answer is letter C.
