Create an equation using the formula for area of a rectangle; area = width * length
(X + 2)(x + 3) = 600
Multiply the dimensions.
X^2 + 3x + 2x +6 = 600, or simplified x^2 +5x + 6 = 600.
Subtract 600 to get the following:
X^2 + 5x - 594 = 0
Factor by x:
(X - 22)(x + 27) = 0
Solve for x
X - 22 = 0
X = 22.
Use the POSITIVE VALUE of x as you can’t have a negative area for a room.
Then substitute 22 for x to get the dimensions
(22+ 2) or 24 for length and (22+3) or 25 for width.

The following data are the distances between a sample of 20 retail stores and a large distribution center. The distances are in
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Variance = 1,227.27

Standard deviation = 35.03

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate these, we use the following formulas:

Mean = (sum of the values) / n

Variance = ((Σ(x - mean)^2) / (n - 1)

Standard deviation = Variance^0.5

Where;

n = number of values = 20

x = each value

Therefore, we have:

Sum of the values = 29 + 32 + 36 + 40 + 58 + 67 + 68 + 69 + 76 + 86 + 87 + 95 + 96 + 96 + 99 + 106 + 112 + 127 + 145 + 150 = 1,674

Mean = 1,674 / 20 = 83.70

Variance = ((29-83.70)^2 + (32-83.70)^2 + (36-83.70)^2 + (40-83.70)^2 + (58-83.70)^2 + (67-83.70)^2 + (68-83.70)^2 + (69-83.70)^2 + (76-83.70)^2 + (86-83.70)^2 + (87-83.70)^2 + (95-83.70)^2 + (96-83.70)^2 + (96-83.70)^2 + (99-83.70)^2 + (106-83.70)^2 + (112-83.70)^2 + (127-83.70)^2 + (145-83.70)^2 + (150-83.70)^2) / (20 - 1) = 23,318.20 / 19 = 1,227.27

Standard deviation = 1,227.27^0.5 = 35.03

In a survey of sixth-grade students, 70 students, or 40% of all the students surveyed, said that they liked mustard on hot dogs.
n200080 [17]

Answer: 210

<em>Step-by-step explanation: 70+70+70=210 and 40% for 210 students would add up to 120% of all students surveyed. Look if there is 70 students that's been surveyed that is 40% add 40% 3 times(40%+40%+40%)=120% of all students surveyed </em>
