We can represent the width as x and the length as x+5. Then we can make the area formula A=(x)*(x+5), plug in 36 for A, and solve for x
36=x^2+5x (distribute)
0=x^2+5x-36
0=(x+9)(x-4)
So x=-9 and 4 but dimensions can't be negative so x=4
So if the width is 4, then the length is 9 (4+5)
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
$1.50
Step-by-step explanation:
12÷8=3/2 or 1.50
There are 3 × 4 = 12 pieces total
14 × 1/4 = 3.5 pizzas needed
not enough, you need two more slices
An event will definitely either happen or not happen.
The total probability of it (happening or not happening) is 100%.
So if the probability of it happening is 87%, then the probability of it
NOT happening is
(100% - 87%) = 13% .
