Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A knitter wants to make a rug for a dollhouse. The length of the rug will be 2 inches more than it's width. Let the width of the rug be represented by w. This means that the length of the rug will be w + 2

The total area of the rug (in square inches ) based on the width W of the rug (in inches ) is given by

A(w) = w (2+w)

If the desired area of the rug is 15 square inches,,the width will be determined by substituting 15 for A(w). It becomes

15 = w^2 + 2w

w^2 + 2w - 15 = 0

w^2 + 5w - 3w - 15 = 0

w(w+5) -3(w+5)

w - 3 = 0 or w+ 5 = 0

w = 3 or w = -5

w cannot be negative. So w = 3 inches

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

12 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the heights of the plants be y

and the number of weeks be x

Plant A

y=3x+8.5--------------1

Plant B

y=2.5x+14.5----------2

Required

The number of weeks taken for both plants to have the same height

,equate the two expressions above

3x+8.5=2.5x+14.5

3x-2.5x=14.5-8.5

0.5x= 6

divide both sides by 0.5

x= 6/0.5

x= 12 weeks
