Answer:

105 = (w+8) *w

w = 7 cm

l = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is

A = l*w

l = w+8

105 = (w+8) *w

Distribute

105 = w^2 +8w

Subtract 105 from each side

105-105 = w^2 +8w -105

0 =w^2 +8w -105

Factor

What 2 number multiply to 105 and add to 8

15*-7 = -105

15-7 = 8

(w+15) (w-7) =0

Using the zero product property

w+15 =0               w-7 =0

w=-15                      w=7

impossible

not negative

w =7

l = 15

Answer:

Width: w

Length: w + 8

w(w + 8) = 105

w² + 8w - 105 = 0

w² + 15w - 7w - 105 = 0

w(w + 15) - 7(w + 15) = 0

(w + 15)(w - 7) = 0

w = -15, 7

width = 7cm

length = 7+8 = 15cm

Seven pizzas are shared equally between three friends. What fraction of pizza does each friend get? Write your answer as a mixed
vredina [299]

Seven pizzas: 7 pizzas

Shared between 3 friends: 7 pizzas / 3 friends

Simplify the fraction:

7 / 3

(3 goes into 7 twice, 7 - 6 = 1)

2 1/3

The fraction of pizza that each friend gets is 2 1/3.

Hope this helps!! :)

3 over 20 as a percent
zhenek [66]
Well a percentage is basically a decimal. If we take the 20 and times it by 5,we can get a 100th of a decimal, 15/100= 0.15. Now we just change it to a percentage! 15%

A bag contains three marbles, eight blue marbles and nine red marbles. If the marbles are picked at random, what is the probabil
Phoenix [80]

The probability of obtaining two blue marbles without replacement is equal to 0.15.

We are given that:

The number of yellow marbles = 3

Number of red marbles = 9

Number of Blue marbles = 8

Total marbles = 3 + 9 + 8

Total marbles = 20

Now, we have to calculate the probability of obtaining two blue marbles without replacement.

The probability will be:

P( obtaining two blue marbles without replacement )  = 8 / 20 × 7 / 19

P( obtaining two blue marbles without replacement )  = 56 / 380

P( obtaining two blue marbles without replacement )  = 0.15

Therefore, the probability of obtaining two blue marbles without replacement is equal to 0.15.
