Lets say w is the width of the flower bed. We can make an equation to find the area.
The length of the of the flower bed is (w+5) and the width is w.
To find the area we need to multiply the length(w+5) by the width(w) and set it equal to 84,
(w+5)(w)=84
w^2 +5w=84
Using the quadratic equation you get the solutions of 7 and -12. Since 7 is positive it is our width. Our length is 7+5 or 12.

Ryan is making small meat loaves. Each small meat loaf uses 3/4 pound of meat. How much meat does Ryan need to make 8 small meat
taurus [48]
Ryan will need 6 pounds of meatloaf. If you want to know how I got my answer, my work along with the answer will be shown below:

3/4 pound=1 small meatloaf

*Multiply 3/4 pound by 8 because he wants to make 8 small meat loaves, or just add 3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4*.

#1 way (recommended): 3/4*8/1=24/4....=6 pounds
#2 way: 3/4+3/4=6/4+3/4=9/4+3/4=12/4+3/4=15/4+3/4=18/4+3/4=21/4+3/4=24/4=6 pounds

I hope this helps! Let me know if you still need help!

In a circle with a 8 in radius, how long, in inches, is an arc associated with 2.6 radians.
Bingel [31]
S = r·α is the formula to find the arc length (s), given the radius (r), and angle measure (α) in radians.
If the angle measure is NOT given in radians you must convert to radians.

s = 8 · 2.6
s = 20.8 in

Can some one help me i need help it is 6x-1/5=3/1 but its not hole numbers
baherus [9]
X = 8/15
6x - 1/5 = 3/1
6x - 1/5 = 3
6x = 3 + 1/5
6x = 15 + 1 over 5 
6x = 16/5
x = 16/30
Then, you simplify. 
x = 8/15
