Answer:

Width is 2 and Length is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. As the data is given, the area of a playground is 12 square yards.
  2. The length of the playground is 3 times longer than its width.  
  3. Let width is x, length is 3 times therefore, length = 3x

As we know the formula for area,

  • Area=length x width.

So by putting values in this formula,

  • 12sq = (3x)(x)  

=> 3x2 = 12

=> x2 = 12/3,

=> x2 = 4 ,

by taking square root we get x= 2,

  • the width is 2 and length is 3 times hence, length is 3(2) = 6.

Solve the two-step equation.<br><br> 14 = 31.7 – 3x<br><br> What is the solution?
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The answer is 5.9

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Subtract 31.7 from both sides.

14 - 31.7 =  - 3x

2) Simplify 14 - 31.7 to -17.7

- 17.7 =  - 3x

3) Divide both sides by -3.

\frac{ - 17.7}{ - 3}  = x

4) Simplify -17.7/-3 to 5.9

5.9 = x

5) Switch sides.

x = 5.9

Therefor, the answer is x = 5.9.

Katarina [22]
The answer is $16216987.55 (IMPORTANT: This is the answer assuming that the interest rate is annually. The quesiton says 'continuously' so I was a bit confused)

To solve this problem, you can use the compound interest formula. 

Here it is once you plug in the numbers: A = 5,000,000 ( 1 + .04) ^30

Just solve the equation to find the solution.
