Answer:

Length=27feet\\Width=12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the length of the rectangle be 'L'

and, width of the rectangle be 'W'

length=2*Width+3

L=(2W+3) feet\\\\

Area of the rectangle= 90 square feet

Area of a rectangle = Length*Width

90=(2W+3)*W\\\\2W^2+3W=90\\\\2W^2+3W-90=0\\\\

Using Factorization Method to solve quadratic equation:

2W^2-12W+15W-90=0

Taking common from the equation:

2W(W-12)+15(W-12)=90\\\\(W-12)(2W+15)=0\\\\W-12=0\\\\W=12 feet

OR

2W+15=0\\\\2W=-15\\\\W=-7.5 feet

The Width cannot be negative, therefore Width(W)=12 feet

Length=2*Width+3\\\\=(12*2)+3\\\\=24+3\\\\=27 feet

Length=27feet\\Width=12 feet

Congratulations! You just won the lottery and plan to buy a bunch of cars and motorcycles for all your friends. You purchase 50
Sedaia [141]

Step 1

Let n represent car and m represent motorcycles.

n + m = 50 ...................1

car has four wheels and motorcycle has two wheels

4n + 2m = 164 .............................. 2

Step 2

Solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously.

from (1), make n subject of relation and substitute in equation 2.

n = 50 - m

Step 3

Substitute n in equation 2

4(50 - m) + 2m = 164

200 - 4m + 2m = 164

collect like terms

200 - 164 = 4m - 2m

36 = 2m

m = 36/2

m = 18

next find n

n = 50 - m

n = 50 - 18

n = 32

There are 32 cars and 18 motorcycles.

g100num [7]
Find 15% of $8
Simply do this by multiplying 0.15 and 8
0.15 * 8 = 1.2
This means you left a $1.20 tip on top of your original $8
$8 + $1.20 = $9.20
