The ratio of the length of the room to its area is
To effectively determine the correct answer, it would be helpful to write this into an algebraic expression. We let x as the number. We do as follows:
<span>Four times the square of a certain number increased by 6 times the number equals 108.
4x^2 + 6x = 108
The numbers can be either of the following since the equation generated was a quadratic equation which has two roots.
x = 4.5
x = -6 </span>
They have 1.4 bags of popcorn.
1) 9 7/8
2) 2 yd
3) 58
Sn = (a1) x (1 - r^n) / (1 - r)
Substituting the known values:
S5 = (6) x (1 - (1/3)^5) / (1 - 1/3) = 242/27 = 8 24/27 = 8 8/9
-4d + 2(3+d)= -14
distribute the 2(3+d)
-4d + 6+ 2d= -14
Combine the like terms
-4d + 2d + 6= -14
-2d + 6 = -14
subtract 6 to -14
-2d = -20
divide by -2
d= -20/-2
d= 10
Check your answer
-4(10) + 2(3+ 10) = -14
-40 + 6 + 20
-40 + 26= -14
