A rectangular vegetable garden will have a width that is 3 feet less than the length, and an area of 54 square feet. If x repres

ents the length, then the length can be found by solving the equation: x(x−3)=54x(x-3)=54 What is the length, x, of the garden?
I can't remember the steps to solving this.

<span>x(x−3)=54
x^2 - 3x - 54 = 0
(x - 9)(x +6) = 0
x - 9 = 0 so x= 9
x + 6 = 0 so x = -6
</span><span>
x = 9 (length)
so width = x - 3 = 9 -3 = 6

</span>answer
<span>length = 9

double check
Area = LxW = 9x6 = 54

If the length width and height of a cube all quadruple what happened to the volume of the cube
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

if the length, width and height of a cube quadruple, then the volume of the cube will be multiplied by 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a cube of width W, height H and length L, the volume of the cube will be: Volume = W*H*L

If all the three parameters quadruple, then:

New Width = 4W

New Height = 4H

New Length = 4L

New Volume = 4W*4H*4L = 64WHL

Therefore, if the length, width and height of a cube quadruple, then the volume of the cube will be multiplied by 64.

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (3,5) and has a gradient of 2.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 2 , then

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, 5) into the partial equation

5 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 6 = - 1

y = 2x - 1 ← equation of line
