The area of a rectangular hotel room is 209 square feet. the perimeter is 60 feet. what are the dimensions of the room?

1 answer:

5 0

A) x * y = 209
B) 2x + 2y = 60

A) y = 209 / x putting this into equation B

B) 2x + (2 * 209 / x) = 60
2x + 418 / x = 60 multiplying by x
2x^2 + 418 = 60x
2x^2 -60x + 418 = 0
Solving by quadratic formula
x = 19
y = 11

Can you help me on this one please

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer: x ≥ 1307

Explanation:

First, write the formula:
monthly fee: $14
minute rate: 7¢ or $0.07
total charge: $105.49
.07x + 14 ≥ 105.49 (the sign is this way because they said this price was the least she had been charged for a month.
You can solve for x just like you would in an equation by making the ≥ sign an equal sign
.07x + 14 = 105.49
- 14 -14
.07x = 91.49
÷ .07 ÷ .07
x = 1307 minutes
since you didn't divide by a negative number, the inequality sign stays the same:
x ≥ 1307
