The equation would be 309.8=9.65x, where x=number of hours you worked this week. You would then solve the equation by dividing 309.8 by 9.65.
The correct question is
The raised vegetable garden in Susan's yard is in the shape of a rectangular prism with a volume of 48 cubic feet and a height of 3/4 foot. <span>The base of the rectangular prism is not a square and the width is greater than 2 feet. What is the length and width of the rectangular prism?
let
x-------> the length of the base of the rectangular prism
</span>y-------> the width of the base of the rectangular prism
<span>
we know that
volume of the prism=area of the base*height
volume=48 ft</span>³
<span>height of the prism=3/4 ft
area of the base=volume/height--------> 48/(3/4)---> 48*4/3----> 64 ft</span>²
<span>
area of the base=64 ft</span>²
<span>area of the base=x*y
64=x*y--------> equation 1
y=x+2--------> equation 2
substitute equation 2 in equation 1
64=x*[x+2]-----> 64=x</span>²+2x------> x²+2x-64=0
<span>
using a graph tool----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=7.062 ft
y=x+2-----> y=7.062+2-----> y=9.062 ft
the answer is</span>
the length of the base of the rectangular prism is 7.062 ftthe width of the base of the rectangular prism is 9.062 ft<span>

Answer:
(x+12)(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula use: a²+bx+c
- Make one side equal to zero:
Original:
-7x-60 =x² +10x
New:
x² + 17x + 60
New:
(1)x x 60 = 60
- Find factors of 60 that when added, equal to 17.
New:
10 × 6, 60 × 1, 20 × 3, <u>5 × 12</u>, 4 × 15
5 times 12 equal 60, but when added equal to 17.
- Replace the 17 with 5 and 12
New:
x² + 5x + 12x + 60
- Break them off into two equations
New:
x² + 5x l 12x + 60
- Divide each equation into it's simpilest form. Make sure the numbers in the ( ) are the same.
New:
x(x + 5) l +12(x+5)
