Width of the rectangle is 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x. Then the length = x - 3. Find dimensions of the rectangle if its area = 54 sq. units

Area of the rectangle = length × width

54 = x (x - 3)

54 = x² - 3x

x² - 3x - 54 = 0

x² + 6x - 9x - 54 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)

x(x + 6) - 9(x + 6) = 0

(x + 6)(x - 9) = 0

x = -6, 9 (negative value is neglected)

x = 9 units

Sara makes and sells bracelets. She bought material for $28.50 and used it all to make 15 bracelets. Sara used the equation to d
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Sara should sell each bracelet at <em>$8.50</em> to make a profit of $99.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following:

Total cost = $28.50

Total bracelets to be made = 15

Total profit to be made = $99

Let x be the price at which Sara sells each bracelet to make a profit of $99.

\text{Total sales done = Number of bracelets sold }\times \text{ Sales price of each bracelet}\\

\Rightarrow 15 \times x    ...... (1)

Also,

\text{Total sales price = Total Cost}+ \text{Total Profit} \\

\Rightarrow \$28.50 + \$99 ....... (2)

Equating (1) and (2):

\Rightarrow  28.50 + 99 = 15x\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{127.5}{15}\\\Rightarrow x = $8.50

Sara should <em>sell each bracelet at $8.50</em> to make a profit of $99.

The length of a rectangle is three times its width. if the area of the rectangle is 75 in2, find its perimeter.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

  40 in

Step-by-step explanation:

For a width of w, the length is 3w and the area and perimeter are ...

  A = LW = (3w)(w) = 3w^2

  P = 2(L+W) = 2(3w +w) = 8w

We are given the area, so we can find w to be ...

  75 in^2 = 3w^2

  25 in^2 = w^2 . . . . . divide by 3

  5 in = w . . . . . . . . . square root

Then the perimeter is ...

  P = 8w = 8(5 in) = 40 in
