X=width of a coccer pitch
2x-20=length of a soccer pitch
Area (rectangule)=length x width
We suggest this equation:
x(2x-20)=6000
2x²-20x=6000
2x²-20x-6000=0
x²-10x-3000=0
We solve this quadratic equation:

x=[10⁺₋√(100-4*1*-3000)]/2=[10⁺₋√(100+12000)]/2=
=(10⁺₋110)/2
we have two solutions:
x₁=(10-110)/2=-50, invalid solution.
x₂=(10+110)/2=60

x=60
2x-20=2(60)-20=120-20=100

Solution: the length is 100 m, and the width is 60 m.

To check:
Area=100 m*60 m=6000 m²
The twice of width is =2(60 m)=120 m,
20 m less than twice its width is: 120 m-20 m=100 m=the length.

Community Gym charges a $50 membership fee and a $70 monthly fee. Workout Gym charges a $190
zepelin [54]

Answer:

14 month

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets create equations for these two gyms. I believe this is an algebra 1 problem.

Community Gym: y=70x+50

Workout Gym: y=60x+190

Because both gyms are equal to y, we can set them together and solve for x.

70x+50=60x+190

10x=140

x=14

You can find the cost by plugging in 14 into both of the equations. You get a cost of $1030 after 14 months

Therefore, after 14 months you will have paid the same amount for both gyms.

Carla's team won 3 of its 5 games. Elena's team won games at the same rate and won 12 games. How many games did Elena's team pla
Maurinko [17]
This is all about proportions. You can make this into fractions:

3/5 = 12/x

A good way to handle this, is to make one of those numbers the same. If you do (3/5) * 4, you would get 12/20 (because 4 * 3 = 12 and 4 * 5 = 20)

So then you have this:

12/20 = 12/x

It's basically a fill in the blank from there. x= 20

Elena's team played 20 games
