Answer:

The number of carpets cleaned by new company per week  is 249

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume :

The number of carpets cleaned by old company in 1 week = m

So, the number of carpets cleaned by new company in 1 week

= 3 x ( Number of carpets cleaned by old company)

 = 3 (m) = 3 m

Total carpet cleaned altogether in a week  = 332

So, Total Carpets cleaned by both companies in 1 week

= Number of carpets cleaned by ( Old + New) company in 1 week.

=  m + 3  m =  4 m

⇒  4  m = 332

or, m = 332 / 4 = 83  , or m = 83

Hence number of carpets cleaned by old company per week = m = 83

The number of carpets cleaned by new company per week

= 3 m =  3 x 83= 249

Answer:

  100

Step-by-step explanation:

The original area is (200 m)×(300 m) = 60000 m². You want an area that is ...

  (200 +x)×(300 +x) = 120000

  60000 +500x +x² = 120000 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  x² +500x -60000 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 120000

  (x +600)(x -100) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . factor

The positive value of x that makes a factor zero is x = 100.

The value of x is 100.

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 9 inches.

The height of the rectangle is 11 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The volume of a rectangular solid can be written as V=LWH, where L is the length of the solid, W is the width, and H is the height. A box of cereal has a width of 2 inches. It’s height is 2 inches longer than it’s length. If the volume of the box is 198 cubic inches.

To find : What are the length and height of the box ?

Solution :

The width of the box is L inches

The width of the box is W=2 inches

The height is 2 inches longer than it’s length i.e H=L+2

The volume of a rectangular solid is V=L\times W\times H

198=L\times 2\times (L+2)

99=L^2+2L

L^2+2L-99=0

L^2+11L-9L-99=0

L(L+11)-9(L+11)=0

(L+11)(L-9)=0

L=-11,9

Reject L=-11 as dimension cannot be negative.

The length of the rectangle is 9 inches.

The height of the rectangle is 11 inches.

Zinaida [17]
Well, if any number is higher than '5' it turns one number more. So, here's a good rhyme to help you: "Five or more, up the score, Four or less, let it rest." The maximum number it could be would have to be '444' because it is not bigger than 445, which would turn to 500.
