The length of a rectangle is 2 yd longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 24 yd , find its area.

1 answer:

8 0

Width = x
Length = x +2
Perimeter = 24
Area = Width • Length = ?

Perimeter = 24 = 2(x +2) + 2(x)
= 2x + 4 + 2x
= 4x + 4
= 20 = 4x
= 5 = x

Width = x = 5, therefore Length = (5) + 2 = 7

Area = Width • Length = 5 • 7 = 35

Area = 35 yards

the price of a dress is $40.00. it went to sale at a discount of 25%. if the sales tax is 6% what is the final cost of the dress

Delvig [45]

So first you figure out what 25% of $40.00 is whitch would be $30.00. Then what i think you would do next is add 6% of the cost of the dress. 6% of $30.00 is $1.80. so $30.00 + $1.80 = $31.80 dollors for the dress.

20 points!!! Please Help Does the equation x2 - 4x + y2 = -3 intersect the x-axis?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Yes, twice

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will intersect the x-axis when y = 0, so we have

x² - 4x = -3 now solve this quadratic for x...

x² - 4x + 3 = 0

factor...

(x - 3)(x - 1) = 0,

so at x = 1 and x = 3, the function crosses the x-axis

function : p(x) = 65 + 25(x)

for 3 sells

p(3) = 65 + 25(3)

p(3) = 140

for 10 sells

p(10) = 65 + 25(10)

p(10) = 315

So,

140 ≤ p(x) ≤ 315
