A rectangle has length x and width x – 3. The area of the rectangle is 10 square meters. Complete the work to find the dimension

s of the rectangle. x(x – 3) = 10 x2 – 3x = 10 x2 – 3x – 10 = 10 – 10 (x + 2)(x – 5) = 0 What are the width and length of the rectangle?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

The given rectangle has a length if x meters

The width of the triangle is (x-3) meters

The area of the rectangle is given as 10 square meters.

Area if rectangle = x(x-3) = 10

Multiplying each term in the parentheses,

x^2 -3x = 10

x^2 -3x -10 = 0

This is a quadratic equation

We will look for two numbers such that when they are multiplied, it will give us -10x^2 and when they are added, it will give -3x. It becomes

x^2 + 2x - 5x -10 = 0

x(x+2)-5(x+2) =0

( x + 2)(x-5) = 0

x = -2 or x = 5

The length of the rectangle cannot be negative so the length is 5 meters

Widith = x+3 = 5-3 = 2 meters

Each shelf holds 5 hermit-crab cages and 3 hermit-crab care booklets. If there are 23 hermit crab cages and 12 booklets to displ
Harrizon [31]

1. Each shelf holds 5 hermit-crab cages. There are 23 hermit crab cages to be displayed. Divide the number of hermit crab cages to be displayed by the number of hermit crab cages that can be displayed on each shelf:

23=5\cdot 4+3.

This means that you need 5 shelves (4 shelves is not enough, because 3 hermit crab cages will be not displayed).

2. Each shelf holds 3 hermit-crab care booklets. There are 12 hermit-crab care booklets to be displayed. Divide the number of hermit-crab care booklets to be displayed by the number of hermit-crab care booklets that can be displayed on each shelf:

12=3\cdot 4.

This means that you need 4 shelves.

Answer: first, you have to divide 23 by 5 and find the quotient and remainder and divide 12 by 3 and find the quotient and remainder. Then you have to determine the number of shelves needed. You need 5 shelves.
