Given:
plot of land doubles in size.
original plot area 200 by 300 meters

Area = 200m * 300m
A = 60,000 m²  original plot area

60,000m
² x 2 = 120,000 m²

(200m + x)(300m + x) = 120,000 m²

60,000m² + 200m*x + 300m * x + x² = 120,000 m²

x² + 500x + 60,000 = 120,000
x² + 500x + 60,000 - 120,000 = 0
x² + 500x - 60,000 = 0

x = -b <u>+</u> (√b² - 4ac)/2a 

a = 1 ; b = 500 ; c = -60,000

x = -500 + (√500² - 4(1)(-60,000)) / 2(1)
x = (-500 + (√250,000 + 240,000)) / 2 
x = (-500 + 700)/ 2
x = 200 / 2
x = 100 meters

(200 + x)(300 + x) = 120,000
(200 + 100)(300 + 100) = 120,000
300 * 400 = 120,000
120,000 = 120,000

Answer:

hi,

So the answer is 420

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. You solve surface area by multiplying the length  and width
  2. What I did first was do 14×6 which is 84
  3. Then I did 84 ×5 which is 420

I hope this help. Have a wonderful day,

-4 x f (8) + 3 x g(-7) HELP ASAP
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

-32

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 + f(8) + 3 x g(-7) = ?

To find f(8), look at each of the f(x) function and find x = 8. The y value is the answer you will plug in for f(8). The same goes for g(-7), but you will be looking at the g(x) function at x = -7.

f(8) = -4

g(-7) = -8

Make sure you solve in the correct order using PEMDAS.

-4 + (-4) + 3 x (-8) = -32
