Answer:

Width: 7

Length: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be found my multiplying the length by the width. We do not know neither the length nor the width. However, we do know that the length is 7 feet longer than the width. Because we do not know the value of either side, let's let x represent the width.

Since the length is 7 feet longer, we can represent the length by x+7.

Now that we have our values for the length and the width we can multiply them together to find our area.

(x)(x+7)=x^{2} +7x

Now we have our equation, so we can address the changes made by the original question. The original question states that when 7 is added to both the length and width the area becomes 3 times larger. To do so simply increase each side by 7 by adding 7 to the original values.

(x+7)(x+14)

And multiply our area by 3.

3(x^{2} +7x)

set these equal to each other to find your new equation.

(x+7)(x+14)=3(x^{2} +7x)

Now you need to solve for x. To do this first muliply (x+7) and (x+14).

(x+7)(x+14)=\\x^{2} +14x+7x+98=\\x^{2} +21x+98

Then multiply 3(x^{2} +7x)

3(x^{2} +7x)=\\3x^{2} +21x

Now you can begin solving for x.

x^{2} +21x+98=3x^{2} +21x

Subtract x^{2} from both sides.

21x+98=2x^{2} +21x

Subtract 21x from both sides.

98=2x^{2}

Divide by 2.

49=x^{2}

And finally take the sqaure root of both sides.

\sqrt{x^{2} }=\sqrt{49}\\x=7

Remember, because we are dealing with length, there cannot be negative. So while normally we would get both +7 <em>and</em> -7, in this case we <em>only </em>get +7.

Now that we have the value of x, we can plug it into our original values.

For width we simply get 7.

For length we get 7+7=14

To check our answer we cna multiply 7 by 14 to get 98. Then we can add 7 to our length and width to get 14 and 21. Multiply these together and we get 294. 294 divided by 3 is 98, proving our answer correct.

Six distinct integers are picked from the set {1, 2, 3,…, 10}. How many selections are there, in which the second smallest integ
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

1680 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of integers = 10

Number of integers to be selected = 6

Second smallest integer must be 3. This means the smallest integer can be either 1 or 2. So, there are 2 ways to select the smallest integer and only 1 way to select the second smallest integer.

<u>2 ways</u>   <u>1 way</u>  <u>       </u>  <u>        </u>  <u>        </u>  <u>        </u>

Each of the line represent the digit in the integer.

After selecting the two digits, we have 4 places which can be filled by 7 integers. Number of ways to select 4 digits from 7 will be 7P4 = 840

Therefore, the total number of ways to form 6 distinct integers according to the given criteria will be = 1 x 2 x 840 = 1680 ways

Therefore, there are 1680 ways to pick six distinct integers.
