Hello.

The answer is: 24

length=3*width, this can be written as 3w

area=27 sq cm

Formula for the area of a rectangle=27 (area)= 3w (length) * w (width)

27=3w^2

then divide both sides by 3: 9=w^2

take the square root of both sides to get: w=3

Now that we know what the width is, we can substitute that and find the length: 3w= 3*3=24

have a nice day

Answer:

$2100.21

Step-by-step explanation:

If the widow gets 0.125 and the son gets 0.4, together they get 0.525, or 52.5%. If you multiply 4000.4 * 0.525, you get 2100.21, which is a little over half of 4000.

Answer:

Jake's error in step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$x^{2} -6x+5=0$

Complete the square

step 1

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2} -6x=-5$

step 2

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$x^{2} -6x+9=-5+9$

$x^{2} -6x+9=4$

step 3

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-3)^{2}=4$

Jake's error in step 3

He placed 6 instead of 3 in the left side

step 4

take square root both sides

$\sqrt{(x-3)^2} =\sqrt{4}$

step 5

$(x-3)=\pm2$

step 6

$x=3\pm2$

step 7

x=5 and x=1
