To calculate the length of the rectangle we let the length be x in, let width be
(2x-5) inches
The area will be given by:
A=length×width
A=x(2x-5)
but
A=700 in²
thus
700=x(2x-5)
700=2x²-5x
this can be written in quadratic form as:
2x²-5x-700=0
solving the quadratic we get:
x=20 or x=-35/2
since the length cannot be negative then:
x=20 in
thus the width will be:
2*20-5
=40-5=35 inches

Answer: Addition

Step-by-step explanation: You can represent that as 10^5*10^-5

If you add the exponent values, you get 10^0 which is equal to 1. If you multiply them, you get 10^-25 which is wrong.

The volume V of a prism with base area B and height h is V=Bh. Solve the formula for h. Then use both formulas to find the heigh
IgorC [24]
The height is 5. 

Since V=Base*height, I just divided the volume by the base.

175/35
=5

So the height would be 5. You can check to see if it's true by multiplying 35*5, which gives you 175.

Hi,
<span>SP=Selling Price
</span>CP of dress= $ 89.47
percent of mark up = 50%
SP without tax= 100+ mark up % /100 * CP
<span>SP without tax= 100+50/100 * 89.47
