This is an odd problem. The length and width look like they should be interchanged. Anyway I'll solve it and we'll talk about the results.
(x +7) (x + 3) = 396
x^2 + 7x + 3x + 21 = 396
x^2 + 10x + 21 = 396 Subtract 21 from both sides.
x^2 + 10x = 396 - 21
x^2 + 10x = 375
x^2 + 10x - 375 = 0 This probably factors.
(x + 25)(x - 15)
x + 25 = 0
x = - 25 which makes no sense. Negatives do not describe room dimensions.
x - 15= 0
x = 15. this is fine.

x+3 = 15 + 3 = 18
x + 7 = 15 + 7= 22

Check
=====
Area = L * W = 18 * 22 = 496. It does check.
22 should be the length

18 should be the width.

For what value of a do the lines 5x–2y=3 and x+y=a intersect at a point on the y-axis?
inna [77]

Answer:

  a = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set x=0 and solve for y to find the y-intercept in each case.

  first equation: y-intercept = -3/2

  second equation: y-intercept = a

To make these equal, we must have ...

  a = -3/2

What is the volume of a cylinder with base radius 2 and height 6
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Volume of the cylinder is 75.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of Cylinder is \pi r^{2} h

where r is base radius = 2 and h is the height = 6

(22/7) × 2² × 6

= (22/7) × 4 × 6

= (22/7) × 24

= 528/7

= 75.43

Solve for x 2x^2 = 128<br><br> Answers <br> -6 and 6 <br> -8 and 8<br> -32 and 32 <br> -64 and 64
uysha [10]

Divide both sides by 2

x^2 = 128/2

Simplify 128/2 to 64

x^2 = 64

Take the square root of both sides;

x = √64

Since 8 * 8 = 64, the square root of 64 is 8

<em>x = -8 and 8</em>

<u>Answer: B -8 and 8</u>

<span>The distance from the vertex to the centroid is twice the distance from the centroid to the side.
This means that 3x + 5 = 2 * (2x)

</span><span>3x + 5 = 4x
