Answer:

Length = 7 ft and width = 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the area of a rectangular carpet is 28 square feet. The length is three feet more then the width.

<u>To find the length and width</u>

Let x be the width the length = x + 3

Area  of carpet = Length * Width

28 = (x + 3) * x

x² + 3x - 28 = 0

x² + 7x - 4x - 28 = 0

x(x + 7) -4(x + 7) = 0

(x + 7)(x - 4) = 0

x = -7 or x = 4

Therefore width = 4 ft then length = 4 + 3 = 7 ft

Determine the future value of a $25000 investment at an annual rate of 4.85% compounded quarterly for 6 years.
Nutka1998 [239]
 = $ 32,275.00

Equation:
A = P(1 + rt)
Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 4.85%/100 = 0.0485 per year,
putting time into years for simplicity,
24 quarters ÷ 4 quarters/year = 6 years,
then, solving our equation

A = 25000(1 + (0.0485 × 6)) = 32275 
A = $ 32,275.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,
from simple interest on a principal of $ 25,000.00
at a rate of 4.85% per year
for 6 years (24 quarters) is $ 32,275.00.
