Answer:

length = 6 yards

width = 3.5 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

the length of a rectangle is 1 yard less than twice the width

LEt 'w' be the width of the rectangle

and 'l' be the length of the rectangle

length l = 2 times the width -1

so l = 2w -1

Area of the rectangle = length * width

Area = l * w

we know length is 2w-1  and given area = 21

21 = (2w-1) * w

21= 2w^2 - w

subtract 21 on both sides

0= 2w^2 - w - 21

now solve for 'w'

0= 2w^2 +6w -7w- 21

0 = 2w(w+3)-7(w+3)

0= (2w-7)(w+3)

2w-7 = 0                    and w+3 =0

w = 7/2                            w=-3

width cannot be negative so we ignore w=-3

width w= 3.5

length = 2w-1= 2(3.5) - 1= 7-1=6

length = 6 yards

Answer:

24y^15 - 24y^10 + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

f(2y^5)

= 3(2y^5)^3 - 6(2y^5)^2 +7

= 3(8y^15) - 6(4y^10) + 7

= 24y^15 - 24y^10 + 7

A woman earning $20 an hour gets a 15% raise. With her raise, how much will she earn after working 40 hours?
erastovalidia [21]

She will earn $920 after working 40 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount per hour = $20

Raise = 15%

Raise amount = 15% of Amount per hour

Raise\ amount = \frac{15}{100}*20\\Raise\ amount= \frac{300}{100}\\Raise\ amount= \$3

New amount per hour = Amount per hour + raise amount

New amount per hour = 20+3= $23

Total earning after working 40 hours = Amount per hour * 40

Total\ earning=23*40\\Total\ earning= \$920

She will earn $920 after working 40 hours.
